A wedding with a difference

Sheila was invited to an arabic wedding and went last night. It was some relative of her work colleague. Men don't go apparently, well at least not to the same bit as the women. I suppose the bride and groom must be at the same bit at some point! The women were all there at the dance and the bride arrived ... at 11 pm! I think the groom was there too because all of the women who had hitherto been dressed in strappy sleeveless outfits suddenly covered themselves with their black gown things because a man was arriving. Sheila said it was interesting. ALL cameras and mobile phones are taken from you as you go in. Bags are searched and these items removed so there are no photos of the event for you to see. There are official photos at some point. You get your phone and camera back as you leave. It was apparently about to go on into the wee small hours but Sheila has work to go to so she left shortly after the bride arrived! Speaking of which, time to go.
