A Moroccan wedding is like a story from the Arabian Nights, where the bride feels like a princess for a day or two. The guest list is usually long, the dresses are exquisite, the jewelry is expensive and the food is delicious. Planning a Moroccan wedding takes months. This is what will happen to Yousra and Othman, who live in France, but they will get married in the bride’s hometown of Fez, Morocco. The couple chose the nikafa Salwa to take care of the bride’s fashion and look, but the family wants to be involved in the decisions too; because the wedding day is an important day for the bride and groom and for the family’s reputation in the community and friends. They look for a suitable hall for the ceremony, and they go to the markets to buy party supplies, incense and musk for the henna night. For Yousra and Othman, the henna night celebration is also an essential tradition that begins the wedding celebrations, including the arrival ceremony of the bride and groom and the presentation and display of gifts. All eyes will be on Yousra as she is carried on the Amaria into the wedding hall. One of the most important features of the wedding evening is the appearance of the bride in the traditional Fassi djellaba. But the heavy, luxurious brocade and the studded crown represent a great challenge for the graceful Yusra, who will never stop smiling and will try not to look tired, because she knows that many pictures will be circulating on social media after or during the wedding. The wedding must be imaginative, because it is linked to the family's reputation and social status. ـــــ #Documentary #DocumentaryDW #DW #Morocco #Wedding #Wedding ـــــ Invitation to dialogue at DW: https://p.dw.com/p/OYIo More documentaries can be found on our websites in English: http://www.dw.com/ar/tv/docfilm/s-3610 / dwdocumentary / dw.stories
