My first wedding

 Well, not MY own, it was someone else's wedding, but you catch my drift. And yes, this blog post is long overdue as I went to it over a week ago. Thank you for your patience, dear reader-folk!

In any case, Danny, one of our school's office boys and by far the funniest, got married! A full delegation from EF went to wish the newlyweds the best, enjoy the free food and nearly succumb to the insane heat. It really was insanely warm and the food, well, it was spicy as hell. Such a wonderful combination!

To be honest, we weren't there for very long. This may have been my first wedding ever, but everyone else had already been to tons of weddings so they weren't as excited, giddy or fascinated as I was. Oh well, I'm still new, naïve and think basically everything is fascinating. Much like a baby, come to think of it. 

So, within 30 minutes, at least about 10 girls came up to us to have their picture taken with us. We are celebrities here! Why, you ask?! Just a simple case of being white. 

Also, there was karaoke (although this shouldn't come as a surprise - there is karaoke here EVERYWHERE! I'm surprised we don't have it at our school. But honestly, it's everywhere!) and the lovely women gracing our ears with song just wouldn't stop asking us to sing. We didn't.

Well, here are some pictures. Talk soon, pretty people!

The couple and family. Look at Danny's shoes - aren't they amazing?!

Gold and red are soooooo fashionable in Muslim weddings these days...

An attempt to capture the scene, but honestly, it was larger and busier than it looks.

Please disregard the little girl giving you the Stare of Death. Instead, focus on the couple and that dashing young fella on the right.

Batik shirts such as these are a national thing here - every Friday is batik day but it is also the dresscode on special occasions such as weddings. And yes, in due time I will most likely get a batik shirt myself as well...
