::There’s a laugh in my eyes::

There’s a waltz in my walk

And it’s been such a long time

Since there was hope in my talk

If you never knew

What it is that’s new.. it’s you

‘Cause when your hands are in mine

You set a fire that everyone can see

And it’s burning away

Every bad memory

To tell you the truth

If it’s something new.. baby it’s you

It’s you in the morning

It’s you in the night

A beautiful angel came down

To light up my life

The world’s a different place

Where nothing’s too hard to say

And nothing’s too hard to do

Never too much to go through

To tell you the truth

Everything that’s new.. baby it’s you

It’s you in the morning

It’s you in the night

A beautiful angel came down

To light up my life

My life, my life

Ohh

So if I get to grow old (oh if I get to grow old)

With many years behind me (many years behind me)

There’s only one thing I want (aahh)

One thing I need beside me

For all that you are

For everything you do

For all that you’ve done

Just for showing me the truth

Beautiful pics, ladies! Dillydally you are adorable! You resemble my SIL, Dalia, so much. :)

I didn't go to Egypt with a 100% certainty that we would get married. We had a simple, at home wedding party with family and a few neighbors. I bought a lovely, deep blue galabiya to wear for the party. Now if I told y'all I didn't want anything fancier I'd be lying. What girl doesn't want to be a pretty, pretty princess and have a big party on her wedding day? I married a man with very limited finances plus time didn't allow for much. You just can't put a piece of coal up your rear and pull out a diamond, yanno?

loooooooolz!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha.....

I did - but it was in israel so different customs, not sure if anyone is interested.

I'm interested too!

Bridget--I also like the first one.

Everyone else-- nice pics! Don't see any of Jade though.

None of my posts have ever been helpful. Be forewarned.

We're supposed to have a wedding when we go back to Morocco with my family next year. To be honest, I'd really rather not...I'm not big on all of the hoopla and attention. But I'm sure it will be memorable.

I think you should Jenn.. Its really spectacular and fun for the MOROCCAN family especially. I had a Tlemcenia wedding ( which is a wedding dress particular to Tlemcen Algeria thats why all the shells and cold. The headdress was like 40 pounds. I have not met another American married to an Algerian who did a Tlemcen wedding, its just what my husbands sister wanted to do so I let her do whatever she wanted. They had fun.. I did not care...

Anyway, Moroccan weddings are amazing Jenn. Do not deprive his family of doing one for you guys if they want to because its a big deal for them and you are really cute and would look really cute in all those Moroccan dresses and the throne and all the stuff... Let them run things and they will be so happy and just smile in the photos

Alot has changed for me now that I am pregnant as far as what I was glad I did and did not do. First, i am really glad we had that big wedding.. The pictures are amazing and so are the memories. Second, the weddings are more for THEM than you.. You will have alot of fun. I am glad we did it.

Now... if I have a boy, I am getting him circumcised in the hospital. I am not waiting till he is 5 and dress him up in a fez and kill a sheep.....
