How do you start to describe Phoebe and Karim's wedding, it will be impossible! From the 6 different outfits Phoebe wore, to the music, Berber and modern Moroccan music and then all the traditions. Phoebe carried into the reception centre in different carriages, Karim riding a horse. And then the reception centre, ornate and colourful, with large Moroccan sofas to lounge on that were covered in very elaborate brocade. It was colour and sound overload, from leaving the Riad at 1.30 in the afternoon and not returning home till after midnight it certainly was a wedding to remember. Even though the wedding had many ancient traditions, modern technology also played it's part. Camera men, still camera and movie with all the lights and action, when they were not filming, large TV screens were placed around the venue and we were able to enjoy the photos.
This is my favourite dress, Phoebe was carried into the reception centre, followed soon after by Karim on his horse! Phoebe's jewellery was incredibly ornate and changed each time to match the next outfit. Her makeup was dramatic but not over the top which was her fear.
Ross purchased his outfit, with a Fez hat too but was not allowed to wear it at the wedding as he would look too much like a tourist. My outfit was hired, very beautiful, 2 layers with gold brocade but incredibly hot, prickly and very uncomfortable. Many ladies changed their outfits throughout the night into more colourful and glamorous gowns, I was just glad to get back to my normal clothes at the end of the evening.
