Tis The Season.....
...to get married, apparently!
There seem to be a few weddings around Tripoli at the moment. Fiona was invited to one last night and there seem to be a few in the area around our flat.
How do I know this, you ask. Well because if you don't want to shell out for an expensive banqueting hall or hotel, then there is a much easier and cheaper alternative in Libya - a big tent!
Yes, I know people with big gardens in the UK sometimes do this, but here in the centre of Tripoli, they have no gardens. So where do they put the tent?
How about IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAIN ROAD! That's logical, isn't it?
Indeed, the house at the end of our street is hosting a 4 day wedding celebration and they have decided that the main road outside their house is the perfect spot to erect a tent and fill it with floor cushions and excitable women!Thus, just like the kitchen, instead of a quick route through the tent, we have to go round the block to get to our house. Genius.
Even after reading all these blogs, I still hear some doubters. Hence, I once again provide photographic evidence ..... trust me, this is NOT a small side street!
More soon no doubt!

yes it's wrong to make a tent in the middle of the Rd, But usually people do it for the Henna Night or the Mahder night (the day before the wedding reception or the day after the wedding reception). so poeple here do in one wedding both A tent in the middle of the rd and a reception in a fancy ballroom such as Corinthia, ALMahari Alkabir...etc.
