Fathers talking about their daughters like they are their property seems to be a global thing. Marriage is a union - nothing is being taken away from anybody. Her father has gained a new son. It's not like her father even owned her to start with - she is not property or a precious object, she is his daughter and always will be.
@@evacookie913 Ummm it's not working there. It's also depends on cultrure. Many daughters after marriage go to live with husbands family and that's why fathers says things like that

Most people act surprised, but most weddings abroad are a big deal. Marriage is sacred, so people spend the money and family is important. It's all in happiness.
Sunethra I would think the opposite, of its sacred it would be important to have the MOST important people to truly experience this new beginning. But I understand that eastern cultures believe different :)
happiness for the relatives and neighbours and business partners and people u have met once in ur life in the supermarket.:D Marriage is sacred in every country
@@Sunshine4 My mom who grew up in the middle east explained it to me this way: she said basically everyone in your neighborhood grew up together into adulthood and were friends, extended families (your parents each had several siblings, and they each had several children, and your parents were close with their cousins who were also too many to count) were always hanging out at each others homes and at the grandparent's homes, especially during the summers, and if you grew up in a really small town, you were somehow related to many people in town in some way, so you knew them all. My mom said growing up wedding events were a few days long, and since everyone invited everyone, there was a wedding once about every 2 weeks in the summers. Of course the times have changed since my mom's childhood and youth, so its less so like this, but Middle Eastern culture overall is a very extroverted one, regardless if you're Middle Eastern Christian, Muslim, etc. Growing up in the U.S., I can't keep up with my mom in social settings because she was raised in such a heavily extroverted culture, she can talk to even strangers so easily and clicks with them immediately lol.
Millions of people around the world don't have enough money to invite 600 people nor 100 people nor 50 people. Being poor is not crime. Being unable to fit social standards is not a crime.
My Asian friend isn't rich, but to fulfill his parents' desire to invite almost 1000 guests made him in huge debt. Until now he hasn't finished the wedding payment even if he already has 2 children. I feel sad for him for being in a burden for years.
It doesn't sound very lovely when families opress women because the family "can't afford" rumors. Women are not trophies, when families and societies treat women as trophy the situation becomes really wrong. Women need liberty, we are not objects, we are not dolls, we have rights. #feminism #womenrights
I don’t think it’s because she’s a wedding planner, it’s because she’s Arabic and Arabs are like sooo troublesome and they literally have the biggest weddings lol
Owais Fazal, that’s such BS and you probably know it. I’ve been on multiple middle-eastern weddings and there is so much gossiping and shit talking on. They invite absolutely everyone. Even people who hate them and wish them no good. It’s about impressing people. Showing off you have the best wedding/wife/husband and the most money. It’s very fake.
I attended a 1200 humans wedding before held at a convention center. It was ridiculous. The groom got to flying fox down to the stage to his bride who was sitting on the chair, pretending to be kidnapped. Then there was this whole...skit that went on about how groom saved the bride and they lived happily ever after. This happened about 5 years back and currently, they're filing for divorce. Found out that the groom was seeing someone else and the bride is a very controlling person. 😬🤷♀️

@Artoria Pendragon that all comes down to personal preferences and cultural differences tho. Who are we to judge how a couple wants to celebrate their own special day :)
Yeah honesty! Here in india we hve arnd 1000 to 2000 commonly if u hve money! I hve wittinessed my cousins wedding and it doesn't mean u neet to know all ur guest name! Indians invite people for blessings and blessings can be frm unknow ppl too! 💕
yes lol the church part made me very emotional and nostalgic. I grew up in Lebanon, but now I live in LA, and the church part reminded me of my childhood.
I'm Turkish and we had almost 550 people in our wedding. We do big weddings here in this part of the world, it's just how it is :) And as they said, it's more for the families and not for the couple. Funny, my father said the same thing to my husband: "you've taken the most precious thing I have".
@phoebe For a wedding with 500-600 people it will probably cost around 40.000 to 50.000 Turkish Liras. But of course, you always have the option to do a fancier one or a cheaper one. Mine cost 40.000 with everything included (wedding dress+tux+make up etc). But another thing in our culture is that it's the parents who pay for it, so again the wedding is for the parents and not for the couple :) It helps to get parents' support because this is a huge amount of money for young people to spend!
@@Rayessunny Parents usually pay for almost everything. In our case, our parents paid for the wedding, the honeymoon and every little pit and piece. But these days young people go for small weddings that they pay for.
Parents do the wedding & buy all your furniture too! im persian i married a turkish man 😁were in australia our wedding cost was about 30-40 thousand dollars & our parents bought our furniture we just chose the place we wanted to live in. In white cultures , couple need to date and save for years to have a wedding they want , but at the same time only have their mum dad and blood relatives and friends at their weddings. In our weddings its family friends close and distant relatives & we gift the bride and groom either money or gold that will then be the couples to spend or invest with. some couples give it to their families cause they spent so much for them. generally the hens and engagement is on the girls family & the wedding is on the grooms. We have alot of tradition into our weddings
@@Er-pr2bo Our family and friends gifted us gold&cash too! We didn't stay in the country, otherwise they would have bought furniture for us as well :) Hope your marriage is going well! Hugs from New Zealand :)
Am I weird if I want to marry in a forrest with maximum 50 people? Or is it just me who finds these huge wedding crazy? Beautiful, for sure, but I would have never wanted something this big.... even if I had the money.
Anonymní outloň K. Nope it isn't strange at all...as long as you do what makes you happy on your big day....which I am sure could include other big days too.... Anyways what type of forest where you thinking? I live in the Redwood Forest and it is gorgeous also the forests in Canada are breath taking for instance in Banff and Lake Louise
@@jesss.7788 I have never been to Canada but I would love to go. Well I am from the Czech Republic and there is this one place on the austrian-czech border that had a very special place in my heart, so that would be the place.
What a beautiful Lebanese wedding! I always pass by the church when im near downtown ... im glad i saw a glimpse of what is inside of it. I am a bride to be but rather than doing a wedding, I am going to make sure I have the best honeymoon ever!!!
As an Arab-American, I understand the struggle in balancing old tradition with new ideas. Happy to see the couple was able to make it work.. magnificent wedding! Mabrook!
i love her dress ! watching it cascading down those stairs oh my goodness such a beautiful wedding i love seeing different cultures and their celebrations
Lebanese are so warm, friendly and happy. Such a beautiful culture. Such a beautiful wedding. I started to cry when she did. I could feel the love, especially from the family. Just beautiful. God bless you ❤️
A lot of cultures that have these kind of weddings have parents that start saving for them before they're even born. Different cultures have different priorities.
I am an Arab, and I can't speak on behalf of every Arab person. However, in my culture, the guests gift either the groom or the bride money (where I am from, we gift the ones who invited us almost $400). We invite a lot of people, so actually more than half of our spendings return to us lol.
Literally insane wedding. But I would really love to attend a big wedding like this. Love crying at weddings because rarely do you get to cry from being so happy for someone
The "show" looked amazing but man that was way way too much for me! Best wedding I've ever been to was my sister's: we were 70 and for the evening festivities there was no dancing because there had been a death in the groom's family the week before. The bride and groom rented a boat and we (the guests) went on a night cruise along the Seine and admired all the landmarks in Paris. It was simple, emotional and so beautiful! As for my own wedding there will be even less than 70 guests. To each their own, I hope their life as newlyweds brings them joy and fulfillment!!
The wedding was gorgeous and lavish, but what really was the most beautiful to me was their mutual love, respect, and appreciation for each other, and for each others family and customs.
Everyone in ur family is gonna invite family and friends and u invite everyone who ever invited you and ur family to their wedding *welcom to the middle east*
My family is Indian, and 400 people at a wedding is considered pretty average/small for us. Out of that, my close friends would make up about 25 people. Our weddings are way less of a celebration of "the couple's love" and way more about celebrating the joining of 2 families, so pretty much everyone that's somewhat close to the immediate family members of the bride and the group are invited, and those numbers add up pretty quickly.
If the couple weren’t soooo nice and down to earth, I would have said this was too much...but I just loved everything they had to say. Thoughtful people. I wish them a blessed life in Christ.
Wow, just wow! She looked so glamorous and stunning in that wedding dress. And the wedding itself, it was very luxurious and magical. Certainly one of the best wedding videos I've ever seen.
I went on a vacation with my Arabian friend. He still met his relatives coincidentally even if we're already miles away from our home. I was shocked at how big his family is 😅
In Arab weddings,your family,your mother's family,your father's family,your friends from university,school or people you knew from other places are ALL invited to the wedding.SO imagine having your sisters and their children with their husbands,your mom and dad and your grandparents along with your aunts and uncles,their spouse and children and their grand children.Multiply that by 2(your mother's family side and your father's),add your friends and their children and spouse and you get an Arab wedding.
I bet her clients are also rich af who loves big weddings. I'd understand why she would want a big and fabulous wedding for herself. It's not wedding for her, she's advertising herself and her work
Extraordinarily beautiful wedding, beyond anything I could think of! Having worked in the Bridal industry for years, that gown, veil, headpiece etc...absolutely stunning! They outdid themselves! Congrats and may God continue to bless your lives.
I love how at 4:52 bride crosses herself from left to right as a catholic, while the groom does it from right to left as an orthodox, just a teeny tiny detail of cultural difference
Was going to say the wedding was a lot but then I saw the love between them and their families and she really balances being independent and being submissive. I'm all for it 😊
they are such a sweet couple! that was so nice to watch. I love that even though the bride wanted to show out she still made a beautiful traditional ceremony and involved their parents preferences.
Don't talk for other women/girls. Not every woman/girl is like you. Some eyes aren't deceived by gold, silk, diamond and money. In my opinion, this wedding superficial and empty, and I bet there are many people who think like me. #feminism #sorority
I think every girls' preference are so different. I'm a 27 years single woman and in my whole life I never wanted that kind of wedding. I'm an introvert and it's sickening to see the huge crowds.
Beautiful wedding and what a wonderful outlook they have on life. Saying something like we have a cultural identity but we want to learn and experience other cultures and from them find new identities to wrap into what we have. That’s beautiful. Just as beautiful as they are ❤️
We had 45 of our dearest friends, a day wedding and my Mom made the food and cake. We bought a case of wine and beer and it was over by 3.30pm. We have been married for 30 years and I’ve been the happiest person - he is my true and absolute soul mate. Remember, the wedding does not make the marriage!!!! It’s all about your inner being, how you handle mistakes, not what happens but how you deal with them and also to realise no one is perfect. Love is everything in a long standing marriage. Not the wedding!!!!
This gave me anxiety Beautiful party for sure- not what I think of when I think of a wedding. It's very interesting how different cultures, and personal values shape a wedding. Also beautiful couple. That being said this made me happy I had a small intimate wedding, I got married at the base of the mountain on my favorite hiking trail over looking the city, I think I had 15 witnesses and my best friend married me.
Her wedding was probably the most amazing wedding I have ever seen. In past I dreamed exactly that but now I personally decided that in future I will probably have an extremely small and short wedding. But who knows if I will ever change again.
oh my god, there wedding was amazing! i love how they actually look like their in love, and their not doing it just for the wedding too c: wish them the best of luck~!

@phoebe For a wedding with 500-600 people it will probably cost around 40.000 to 50.000 Turkish Liras. But of course, you always have the option to do a fancier one or a cheaper one. Mine cost 40.000 with everything included (wedding dress+tux+make up etc). But another thing in our culture is that it's the parents who pay for it, so again the wedding is for the parents and not for the couple :) It helps to get parents' support because this is a huge amount of money for young people to spend!
Do family pitch in? Or do couples save up for long time?
@@Rayessunny Parents usually pay for almost everything. In our case, our parents paid for the wedding, the honeymoon and every little pit and piece. But these days young people go for small weddings that they pay for.
Parents do the wedding & buy all your furniture too!
im persian i married a turkish man 😁were in australia our wedding cost was about 30-40 thousand dollars & our parents bought our furniture we just chose the place we wanted to live in.
In white cultures , couple need to date and save for years to have a wedding they want , but at the same time only have their mum dad and blood relatives and friends at their weddings. In our weddings its family friends close and distant relatives & we gift the bride and groom either money or gold that will then be the couples to spend or invest with. some couples give it to their families cause they spent so much for them.
generally the hens and engagement is on the girls family & the wedding is on the grooms. We have alot of tradition into our weddings
@@Er-pr2bo Our family and friends gifted us gold&cash too! We didn't stay in the country, otherwise they would have bought furniture for us as well :) Hope your marriage is going well! Hugs from New Zealand :)
Am I weird if I want to marry in a forrest with maximum 50 people? Or is it just me who finds these huge wedding crazy? Beautiful, for sure, but I would have never wanted something this big.... even if I had the money.
Anonymní outloň K. Nope it isn't strange at all...as long as you do what makes you happy on your big day....which I am sure could include other big days too.... Anyways what type of forest where you thinking? I live in the Redwood Forest and it is gorgeous also the forests in Canada are breath taking for instance in Banff and Lake Louise
Nothing wrong with that. Different strokes for different folks.
@@jesss.7788 I have never been to Canada but I would love to go. Well I am from the Czech Republic and there is this one place on the austrian-czech border that had a very special place in my heart, so that would be the place.
Me too...i feel u
My wedding was 25 people and we got married by a small lake in Yoho natural park. No 600 person extravaganza for me lol.
What a beautiful Lebanese wedding! I always pass by the church when im near downtown ... im glad i saw a glimpse of what is inside of it. I am a bride to be but rather than doing a wedding, I am going to make sure I have the best honeymoon ever!!!
smileforhiba wishing you all the luck!
@@sophipearl7350 Yo I so thought you said something else other than luck but sounds the same xDDDDDD
theyre not lesbian
@@imanijohnson440 She never said they where, she said Lebanese.
imani johnson lol Lebanese never meant lesbian
I love how they are different but are coming together to make their own identity. So beautiful. A lot of people struggle with that
Clearly there was no budget for this wedding..ABSOLUTELY stunning
She reminds me of lady Gaga ♥️ GORGEOUS WEDDING !!!!
yessssssss ikr
I was hope I wasn’t the only one who thought that!! 😅
Brittbratt and she sounds like her too!! Omgoodness.
Sammme
SAME
The last part where he's kissing her and everyone is holding her dress😍😍😍
As an Arab-American, I understand the struggle in balancing old tradition with new ideas. Happy to see the couple was able to make it work.. magnificent wedding! Mabrook!
I hurts watching this knowing what happened in Lebanon. My heart goes out to all of those affected by the explosion.
i love her dress !
watching it cascading down those stairs oh my goodness
such a beautiful wedding
i love seeing different cultures and their celebrations
Wow your wedding looks insane and magical!!! hahaha
Can I have her as my wedding planner? Omg she has very good taste!
Taste often requires a big budget. :D
This planning is just so amazing
Tsvetelina Tsenkova you don’t know how much money Asian actually spend on their wedding
Jane O'Leary fat jealous poor American.
Inaaya Sharma lmaoo oh my god
Lebanese are so warm, friendly and happy. Such a beautiful culture. Such a beautiful wedding. I started to cry when she did. I could feel the love, especially from the family. Just beautiful. God bless you ❤️
“He wanted a small wedding I wanted a big wedding so we compromised and had 600 people.” He REALLY loves her.
"so we compromised and ended up with 600 attendees" A QUEEN
dear lord how much money do these people have
A lot of cultures that have these kind of weddings have parents that start saving for them before they're even born. Different cultures have different priorities.
tokkibunni | my parents could not have saved up for this in a lifetime.
I am an Arab, and I can't speak on behalf of every Arab person. However, in my culture, the guests gift either the groom or the bride money (where I am from, we gift the ones who invited us almost $400). We invite a lot of people, so actually more than half of our spendings return to us lol.
Casey Martin $10
They are wedding planners so I imagine they make a lot of money if they plan weddings similar to their own.
“Us Arabs like to party like crazy” is the truest thing in the world 😂❤️ especially in weddings
She honestly looks like a mix of lady Gaga and Margot Robbie
Literally insane wedding. But I would really love to attend a big wedding like this. Love crying at weddings because rarely do you get to cry from being so happy for someone
Their mannerisms are so similar both are very soft spoken. They compliment each other. I wish them a very happy married life💞
5:35 there's a flower lady stuck in the piano... someone help her.
Legend says she's still stuck
The "show" looked amazing but man that was way way too much for me! Best wedding I've ever been to was my sister's: we were 70 and for the evening festivities there was no dancing because there had been a death in the groom's family the week before. The bride and groom rented a boat and we (the guests) went on a night cruise along the Seine and admired all the landmarks in Paris. It was simple, emotional and so beautiful! As for my own wedding there will be even less than 70 guests. To each their own, I hope their life as newlyweds brings them joy and fulfillment!!
And that's why its not yours
She is SO BEAUTIFUL and So is her daughter, Some Women Deserve it ALL, while some of us don't deserve anything. But I still am Happy for them.
The wedding was gorgeous and lavish, but what really was the most beautiful to me was their mutual love, respect, and appreciation for each other, and for each others family and customs.
Breath taking Wedding Gown..the bride's maids dreeses lovely and flowing
The diamond head piece wow
Entertainment all night long
Congratulations🎆🎆
"We compromised to 600 people" LOL I don't even know 200 people that I am close enough to invite to my special day.
Jaylin Solano true
At that size, it's not just about who your spouse and you know, but also who all your parents and your spouse's parents know.
Everyone in ur family is gonna invite family and friends and u invite everyone who ever invited you and ur family to their wedding *welcom to the middle east*
My family is Indian, and 400 people at a wedding is considered pretty average/small for us. Out of that, my close friends would make up about 25 people. Our weddings are way less of a celebration of "the couple's love" and way more about celebrating the joining of 2 families, so pretty much everyone that's somewhat close to the immediate family members of the bride and the group are invited, and those numbers add up pretty quickly.
@@ariab9889 Same in the Balkans :D
Corona be like: No I don’t allow that. It’s 500 or under
Oh no in Canada, corona is only allowing 50 or under loool
Weddings should be postponed. Period. Because the celebration will be greater once this is all over!!
3, take it or leave it
@@apotato513 the bride, the groom and the imam. Khalos
If the couple weren’t soooo nice and down to earth, I would have said this was too much...but I just loved everything they had to say. Thoughtful people. I wish them a blessed life in Christ.
I think the wedding is somehow an investment too. She is a wedding planner. It's for brand awareness, I assume.
So interesting to see a orthodox church but the priest was reading the book in arabic,
as n arab who grew up muslim thats really cool never seen that
darkfeather111 well they're in Lebanon ?
They are arab Christian's so the bible is and liturgy are read and song in arabic. Very common in middle east especially levantine region
Lebanese catholics read ceremony in Arabic as well
I think Lebanon is one country where the Muslims and Christians really live in harmony. I loved the arabic bible!
@@laceyrein3223 well i grew up in america, so anytime I've seen someone read the bible it's always in english, just interesting to see it in arabic.
Wow, just wow! She looked so glamorous and stunning in that wedding dress. And the wedding itself, it was very luxurious and magical. Certainly one of the best wedding videos I've ever seen.
"Arabs like to party like" that was an understatement lol. I used to work at a banquets hall and Arab parties were the best.
He's so respectful of her. I love it. I love how they adore their cultures. Amazing
That was the most gorgeous wedding dress I have ever seen. And I love the headdress. I'm not sure exactly what it's called but it's divine!
People going crazy in the comments saying 600 is many...Do you even know Arab families and weddings?😂😂😂😂
I went on a vacation with my Arabian friend. He still met his relatives coincidentally even if we're already miles away from our home. I was shocked at how big his family is 😅
It's gigantic😂😂
So what is normal number of guests in Arab wedding?
@@anudarib well, invite as much as you can the entire tribe and every human you know
In Arab weddings,your family,your mother's family,your father's family,your friends from university,school or people you knew from other places are ALL invited to the wedding.SO imagine having your sisters and their children with their husbands,your mom and dad and your grandparents along with your aunts and uncles,their spouse and children and their grand children.Multiply that by 2(your mother's family side and your father's),add your friends and their children and spouse and you get an Arab wedding.
I just need a 1/3of her budget. Lol baby this was beyond opulent but oh so fabulous 😍💖
"There's a solution for every problem!" ----
YEAH.... It's called MONEY! XD
u should go to Egyptian wedding money is not even problem LOL
It’s so cool that both families respected each others beliefs and traditions and were able to incorporate it into the wedding of the couple.
SHE WINS! That was the most spectacular wedding I've ever seen. And her wedding gown was STUN NING.
Her dad once told me "You've taken the most precious thing I have" 😭💔
I bet her clients are also rich af who loves big weddings. I'd understand why she would want a big and fabulous wedding for herself. It's not wedding for her, she's advertising herself and her work
BEST FREAKING WEDDING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!
This looks wayyyyyy more fabulous and more grand and more fun than any royal wedding the British royals could ever piece together.
well this doesn't help with the whole "arabs are rich" stereotype lmaooo I loved it, you guys are so beautiful together
It's like one of the great Gatsby's huge parties
I love her hair, head dress and dress is absolutely stunning!! Beautiful wedding 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
In desi wedding 600 is pretty normal and many aunties find girl for their son secretly lol😂😂
Omg in arab wedding its soo true ! My mom's brother met her friend at my parents wedding, they ended up marrying each other one year later!
@ hahaha
@ same here 😂
Extraordinarily beautiful wedding, beyond anything I could think of! Having worked in the Bridal industry for years, that gown, veil, headpiece etc...absolutely stunning! They outdid themselves! Congrats and may God continue to bless your lives.
I love how at 4:52 bride crosses herself from left to right as a catholic, while the groom does it from right to left as an orthodox, just a teeny tiny detail of cultural difference
Middle eastern weddings are insane! In a good way!
Was going to say the wedding was a lot but then I saw the love between them and their families and she really balances being independent and being submissive. I'm all for it 😊
they are such a sweet couple! that was so nice to watch. I love that even though the bride wanted to show out she still made a beautiful traditional ceremony and involved their parents preferences.
their love for eachother is beautiful, this is what i hope my future love feels like
I love it how they compromised and respect each other's beliefs. True love!! ♥️🙏🏻 Bless the both of them.
What a beautiful wedding dress, every girl dream that kind of wedding. Very elegant and sophisticated. Everything at this wedding was fabulous.
Don't talk for other women/girls.
Not every woman/girl is like you.
Some eyes aren't deceived by gold, silk, diamond and money.
In my opinion, this wedding superficial and empty, and I bet there are many people who think like me.
#feminism #sorority
I think every girls' preference are so different. I'm a 27 years single woman and in my whole life I never wanted that kind of wedding. I'm an introvert and it's sickening to see the huge crowds.
omg its like Lady gaga and Ross from friends getting married hahaha XD LMAO
Please don't tell me they divorced 😂😂
When I hear Ross I think of divorce
@@fezekadelight2035 🤣🤣🤣Ross THE DIVORCE FORCE
Well not a fan of big weddings but she is looking absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful wedding and what a wonderful outlook they have on life. Saying something like we have a cultural identity but we want to learn and experience other cultures and from them find new identities to wrap into what we have. That’s beautiful. Just as beautiful as they are ❤️
We had 45 of our dearest friends, a day wedding and my Mom made the food and cake. We bought a case of wine and beer and it was over by 3.30pm. We have been married for 30 years and I’ve been the happiest person - he is my true and absolute soul mate. Remember, the wedding does not make the marriage!!!! It’s all about your inner being, how you handle mistakes, not what happens but how you deal with them and also to realise no one is perfect. Love is everything in a long standing marriage. Not the wedding!!!!
Arabs care so much about their wedding they’re always soo big!
Their wedding after party just look like a concert, opera concert...crazyyyyy 🔥
This gave me anxiety Beautiful party for sure- not what I think of when I think of a wedding. It's very interesting how different cultures, and personal values shape a wedding. Also beautiful couple.
That being said this made me happy I had a small intimate wedding, I got married at the base of the mountain on my favorite hiking trail over looking the city, I think I had 15 witnesses and my best friend married me.
Her wedding was probably the most amazing wedding I have ever seen.
In past I dreamed exactly that but now I personally decided that in future I will probably have an extremely small and short wedding. But who knows if I will ever change again.
Stunning, Christian wedding, full of love and promise.......blessings to the lovely couple! ❤️
great series!! love the different cultures represented and how amazing the venues are. great series so far and I can't wait for more!
Watching this after the Beirut explosion is heartbreaking.
oh my god, there wedding was amazing! i love how they actually look like their in love, and their not doing it just for the wedding too c: wish them the best of luck~!
This wedding was very regal and elegant. The firework display and the bride's beautiful dress, blew my mind. Also the entertainment!
It’s beautiful how you can see the happiness in her eyes @ 3:54. I can’t wait to experience that on my wedding day
