The Wedding

Amine has been doing the blog posts lately. (A great job too!) I wanted to tell you about my first Moroccan wedding. Wow! Honestly, it was one of the most beautiful celebrations I have ever been to in my life! Amine did a great job capturing the night with photos and video. It will definitely be remembered forever as one of the best times of my life. It was so special to meet the rest of Amine's family from his Dad's side and Mom's side. To have Aiden there was even more special. Sanaa gave me an authentic Moroccan dress to wear. Unbelievable dresses!

Here is how the night went:

Moroccan weddings don't start until late in the evening. They go until 6am!! They served breakfast in the morning!!! Have you ever been to a wedding where they serve breakfast?! What a party! Aiden didn't last very long because this was way past his bedtime. Fortunately, the wedding was at a hotel. I had to miss the beginning of the wedding to put him to bed. We had a family member stay in the room with him. He slept the whole time until we left at 3:30am! Sanaa had three different beautiful dresses that she changed into throughout the night. Each had it's own presentation to the room. The food was amazing. There were so many courses of food I lost count! Well over 10 served, plus a buffet! The music was awesome too. Three different bands through the night. Words can't really express this night. Wow! Congratulations Sanaa and Antonio!!!

Three generations! Amine, Aiden, his dad and brother.

Awesome Uncles! Amine's mom's brothers.
