Wa at an Assyrian Wedding last night. I was the escort for a friend of mine.
TOTALLY COOL!
I love seeing how other cultures do stuff. All the line dances were fun; just a fantastic night. KInd of a waltzbeat but the accent is ont he last beat always. Took a while to catch on but when I did it was like I was one with the line!;-)
An intersting tradition in that they put these pins into the Groom's jacket on each shoulder; it protects the couple from idle talk and bad talk about the couple. I think there might be Christian overtones about carrying one's cross as well.
Great meat dish with a mild, sweet curry.
Heading out to Dallas in less than 48 hours-gotta pack!
~Peace~
