Wedding- Part 1

This summer's highlight was my brother's wedding, I went back to Lebanon to attend and all of the family was pretty excited. I bought the perfect dress, Pink. I will tell you the story of Pink later on. Before I go to my brother's wedding in Lebanon, I had the chance to attend a couple of months before that my first American wedding here in Fayetteville. It was a very cute wedding with a Cajun theme. There was Cajun food and a Cajun band and we danced to Cajun music.
I arrived to Beirut couple of weeks before the wedding and the preparations were already on their way. My mom had already taken an appointment for me at the hairdresser and make up artist.
It took us at least 4 visits to the chocolates and sweets shop to fix the plates and decorate them. Actually some of the chocolates had a pretty butterfly clothes clip that the women can use after eating their chocolate.
The seating of the 400 people on the tables took us hours of work since we wanted to make sure everyone was happy with their seating area and happy with the company they have on their table. and believe me, this is not an easy job!


Wedding day, June 4th, we woke up early. Made sure the house looked clean and neat and we went to the hairdresser. After almost 3 hours, my mom and I were ready from chin to the tip of our hair! We passed by the flower shop to get the rented car, a white Mercedes 2010 now decorated also flowers, which I drove very carefully home. By the time we got home, there were five beautiful bouquets of flowers decorating our living room, they are presents from close family for Ralph with little notes of wishes. There were two young men also to help with presenting the sweets and drinks for the guests that will be coming. We had some food and Celine arrived home. She looked beautiful and we noticed that our hair looked almost the same, except the fact that i had an extension which made my hair look longer (maybe that means also prettier). Then I did notice that I actually used to slide my dress' neck really tightly from the top of my head but that would be impossible in this case since my make up and hair volume would be damaged if I do (Part 1 of 3 of the adventures of Mirna with her dress). Luckily my aunt Jacko was there to save the day, she cut the band, put it around my neck and sewed it! Perfect.
Dress, accessories, shoes, bag, perfume were not that easy to mix and match. But finally we were all ready for the family pictures.The wedding can start.
