The wedding is one of the most entrenched\nrituals within the culture of Islamic countries such as Morocco. The marriage\nceremony in the Arab world has, however, undergone a process of simplification\nand westernization, which has failed to break the essence of this type of\ncelebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moroccan weddings tend to last, at present,\nfor three days. In other times it was usual for them to last about a week. The\ndecoration with henna of the hands and feet of the bride, the purification of\nthe bride, the golden embroidery on the garments and the spices present in the\ndifferent dishes are some of the peculiarities of the marriage in Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the first day of the ritual, the\nbride spends the day in the Hammam. There she relaxes and purifies herself,\nbefore being escorted by her friends to her room, where she dresses up in\ntraditional Moroccan Kaftan and does her make up in preparation to celebrating\nthe bachelorette party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Islamic Marriage is a sacred and special\nbond that ties not just two people, but two families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the second day, a great family meal takes\nplace. Passages of the Koran are tattooed on the bride’s body temporarily using\nHenna and she is smeared with natural beauty products. It is a way to bless\nfuture marriage and have the bride look the best she can for her special night.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third day is the main celebration itself.\nThe friends of the groom move the bride to the house of her in-laws, there the\ngroom reads the Koran, kisses the bride on the forehead and begins the wedding\nnight. The bride, dressed in gala, enters the room in a carriage carried by\nfour men, dancing to the rhythm of Moroccan traditional music, as in a \u201cIssawa\u201d\ngroup or a Drum folklore. Guests eat dates and drink milk, as a symbol of\npurification and good luck. Throughout the night, candies, sweats and tea are\ngiven to the guests, while all dancing and enjoying the live music. By the end\nof the night, the guests and families have dinner and enjoy the last dance of\nbride and groom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hospitality of the people of Morocco and the symbolism are noticeable during every day of celebration. Thus, family and friends leave the doors of their homes open, to signify the welcome to all. In addition, sweets are served in a single source, as a manifestation of family unity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
