The white season
Muslims all over the world have 2 major holidays: Ramadan Bayram and Kurban Bayram they are exactly 2 months and 10 days apart and it is believed that organizing weddings in the middle of those two is bad luck.Since we have a lot of superstitious people in
The Kurban Bayram passed at the end of December and everything changed.
Last weekend we had two enormous weddings and more are on the way. I was the coordinator and wedding planner for one of those.
The custom here is to get married on Wednesdays (if you don’t want a big party) or Saturdays (if you want to have a huge celebration and for the whole city to know you are getting hitched).
Anyways, most of the weddings we organize are on Saturdays. I was in charge of everything from flowers, decoration, wedding cake, to music and making sure everything goes according to the agenda.
A day after this wedding, I get great news that my best friend from
Then I have my first trainee (an Indian girl in
What is up with the wedding seasons?? Is it just me or all of my friends all getting hitched at the age of 22-24. Ouch!
The season looks white, and it’s not cause of the snow.

Hey Meri! I feel exactly the same way!!
Weddings in Singapore, Malta, Budapest, Lisbon and many others.. unfortunately will not be able to go to all of them !

Maria
Weddings are fun, but I agree with you, why get hitched so early??? People live longer these days, so you don't have to extend the duration of misery, hahaha....just kidding :-) Always a personal choice as to when a couple wants to tie the knot.
Cool cartoon :-)
:) Must be both, these things sometimes happne in spurts and soon everyone is sort a old. ;)
What did I depress ya?
Just ignore me. ;)
Have a good weekend.
Oh nooo.. I am not depressed :) On the contrary...
I am not planning anything white (other than skiing soon) I am just amazed how many of my friends are taking the plunge..
ouh Meri, that seems like great job. Busy by fun and happy moments:-)
And you know traditionally... the bride can only wear white to signify her purity and virginity.
NOw I am sure a lot of brides are pure in heart... but that other one? I am not so sure. Hahahaha
Are you anywhere near your wedding day Meri?
@ Lady: (shaking my head) not even thinking about it ;) I am only 23!!! Right now organising other people's weddings seems like a test run for something in the future but i have to admit it freaked me out a bit.
PS most of the wedding dresses are not white but the ivory colour (champagne as they like to call it).. i wonder why :)
u have a very cool job merili, i love organizing flowers ,cakes and staff.
happy for ur friends, wish the same for you, if only you want it ;)
surprise, so, many weddings all around the world this year! my two closest friends are getting married with one week distance in the summer and the third at christmas. i think it must be that next year is ... how do we call it when february has 29 days?!
mine are around 30 so... it is probably the hitching season
Did you know that on the 29th of February it is a tradition for women to propose to men? It does happen, in the UK they even have radio shows and TV stations over which women propose to their loved ones on that day..
no i didn't know! imagine that! in a month we have one chance before another four years then!
Hiya Merili....nice to see you 'back'.
Hmmm....love struck huh? Still, enjoy life first before you get hitch :P
almost everybody i know has tied the knot, taken the plunge and got hitched... why do so many slang words for getting married sound so scary?
It just looks that way, Merili. I missed that whole procession with my high school friends by moving away, learning photography and making new friends. They are happy, but no more so than you. Thank you so much for keeping in touch.
being a wedding planner and organizer must be CRAZY! People get married so early there! I cant imagine or maybe they are sooo lucky to find the person of their dreams.
