Moroccan Wedding

This past weekend we hosted our driver's wedding at our house. There were over 200 people here,  about 6 different outfit changes for the bride and at least 3 for the groom and the loudest music I have ever heard. I am not going to pretend like I knew what was going on at all so I can offer no explanations on most of the pictures below!

Our little Moroccan princess!

Here comes the groom! This was about a 20 minute parade with musicians dancing all the way down our street. Ahmed's sisters and sister in law are walking up carrying those small trunks and the guys behind them are carrying the gifts from the groom to the bride in those containers on their heads. The groom was riding in the car at the end of this procession.

We snuck upstairs for a wardrobe change for Danny.

We headed upstairs to put Lily to bed around 12:30 and missed the rest of the wedding, but it raged on until about 3 am! I wish we would have stayed up because the last couple of outfits the bride wore were amazing!!!

It was so fun to get to be a part of Ahmed and Hajar's wedding! Wishing the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness!!!
