iam Amr Ezzat , the groom
me and radwa were engaged, when we joined the opposition activates ,and then started blogging .

the white dress – and of course the tie ! – is a common traditions in egypt, and in many arab countries i think ,regardless the religion of the couple

we didnt deny all wedding traditions, we have hold a 30 minutes traditional and some kind of religiuos matrimony (katb elkitab) in a hall attached to a mosque , and then we moved with friends to Al-Azhar park (open air park) celebrating our wedding setting on the green ground , singing .

It certainly is a nice story. Perhaps our Egyptian readers can give us an insight into Egyptian weddings.

In Bahrain, where I come from, almost all brides wear white gowns – Muslim and non-Muslim. Matrimony is also a sacred bond in our part of the world, and is legitimately the only way a man and woman can coexist under one roof in – it would be safe to say – almost all countries in the Middle East.

Oh and before I forget: men and their toys. A car is a status symbol, especially in the more affluent Gulf states, where it isn’t strange to find some individuals with different cars for different ‘tasks’: like a car to go to work, another for official functions and ceremonies, one to take the children to school and a fourth for the weekend.

Hope this helps!

i am interested in the tradition of weddings in egypt…what religion are these bloggers? i usually connect a white wedding dress with christianity and church weddings, are they coptic?…and also it’s interesting to me that if these bloggers consider themselves progressive or not…because they seem to hold onto very traditional ceremonies, like for example the one of matrimony…

i like the story about the man and his musical car….thanks!
