Ok, I guess it doesn’t get more official than this?! I mean eventhough I don’t have a ring on my finger; but it is official, right? Well whatever, it’s all naseeb…but com’on I have a date for da wedding? Da hall is booked! And da entire family is planning to be here on Aug 4th!!!!! Ok I am kinda freaking out; I mean am I really ready to get married? Am I mature enough for that? Am I ladylike enough? Wallahi I have 101 questions in my head but no answers....my cousin keeps asking me “are you ready” I say “inshallah”…lol and ready means mentally! I believe I am more than ready to be da lady of my house taking care of my husband and whatever comes with the responsibility! But the part I am struggling with is becoming a mature wife than a fun girl! That’s what freaking me out…….girls at work ask me whether I started buying stuff “btat” like you know, girlz need new wardrobe and crap like that! The answer is NO I didn’t’, simply because I can’t change da way my brain works “still” I am still looking at casual cloths…last week I bought Nike sweat pants!! And over da weekend I was looking for running shoes!! OK! Da beautiful part, my fiancée is more like me! Very casual person, doesn’t like da fancy shmancy stuff…so anywayz! Inshallah rabe ester and I don’t freak out more.
Preparation wise; my main issue now is getting the wedding gown out of da way! I only been to two stores here in Tripoli and I freaked out! Too many choices mainly not my style and way too poofed for me! I mean they say it’s a wedding dress has to be poofed! but poofed and ugly.. dunno not my cup of tea! So, now I am thinking of custom making it, there are few places here that master khyata for wedding gowns, so inshallah, so that’s my next stop! After that; we’ll be working on da decoration of da hall, food “maysoon and mom” already after that. Also, maysoon has gazillion ideas of what to do next, and half da time I am not listening because I am dead tired from work…I just wanna go home and sleep…so taking a week of might be a good idea after all… guyz and gurlz include me in ur prayers and inshallah da whole thing etsahel and I don’t end up a bridzilla!!!!

Damoon, it is only nerves speaking now.
you are not on your own, your family are there to do most things for you, that is how it is in Libya, the bride and groom are king & queen, so relax and remember you are the queen :o)
inshaAllah all will go well and according to plan, mayt Allah bless you & your future husband and give you good health, long life and lovely children.
one more thing: you have to master the art of sitting down for hours without talking, drinking or eating with just a small smile on your face, this is called 3aroosa (Bride) good luck :o)
Thanks AngloLibyan wallahi I don't wanna do anything or no7rog dammi 3li anything! and for da art of sitting down for hours...lol I ain't good at that! and u r right I should start practicing hehe, but again thanks and 3ogbal matafra7 bewladik ya rabb
Salams Damoon,
Inshallah all goes well for you ya rab!
All those questions you have are so normal..i'm sure you are ready,you will be fine..and i laughed so hard at the "bridezilla" part..am sure you will be the perfect bride..and rabi etamem 3ala khair ya rab...you can do it habibty(L)..
Happymoi
I doubt anyone ones or can tell you whether you are ready or not? i mean the beauty of these things is that you learn together and experience this journey together and i believe no one will ever know if they are ready of not, although guys get a bit more scared than girls
(dont take this the wrong way, but my uncle once told me "Ahmed", the bride wears white coz she is happy and white shows that she is opening a new page but the groom wears balck coz he is scared and this day is the full stop in his 3zab life and he has closed the better chapter of his life BTW this was on the day of his wedding)
anyway, i am certain you will enjoy this jouraney as it seems you have found a compatible guy who complements you and that you both complete each other :), But there is one thing i dont understand "Why does someone pay sooooooooooo much money for a wedding dress that you will only wear once? i mean to hire it costs over 1500 a night, (& they say why libyan guys dont get married)
fianlly, i wish you a very very happy future and may everyday be blessed by allah
"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person"

salam Damoon
Inshallah rabbe yfar7ek and itll all go great and ull get your ring, your dress and your man before you know it :D.
Wow is this how it feels like getting married in Libya???.. Ya allah I cant take these nerves..
Im sure your in safe hands by your mum, maysoon and your fiancess.. between them, you probably could go to sleep, although of course that'l be impossible..
um.. u having henna? :D
salam
habibti happymoi; thank u soo much and I know I don't want to turn to a bridezilla :s o inte good luck with ur examz bash tji torgsi fe 3rsi hehehe and 3o2balik ya rabb
Ahmed; ur uncle probably right..lol so I am going to suggest that my man wears white tux..lol and white shoes :p but ya wallahi wat u said is so true it's about both husband and wife learning together...inshallah rabna etai7ik fe bnt el7lal elli tstahlik ya rabb....and oh regarding wedding dress..lol dunno it's once a life time thing "inshallah" so it's worth every penny hehehe, but seriously msareef el3rs halba fa rabe ekoon fe el3oon
mani; I smell something in da air, and yes u'll be going thru da same nervbreak downs, so be prepared :p o rabe ehaneek
regarding Henna, nope I am not a henna fan nor my fiancee "alhamduliallah"
Damoonitna ?
Alf mabrook, inshallah kol shai yimshi tamam
I read all comments, and agree with everything that has been said; Anglo saying “ you are not on your own, your family will .. ” is sooo true ,
And Happy adding “ i'm sure you are ready, you will be fine ” , also true
And Ahmed saying “ guys get a bit more scared than girls ” , I agree with him
Also with mani “ Im sure your in safe hands by your mum and maysoon ”
hey Damoon?
Nerves or no nerves, ring or no ring,… all these little extras are just extras … cosmetics & decorations ..
The big thing from all this is the man, and your man seems to be the perfect guy to be honest
I read many if not all what you wrote, and I really do think you got the perfect guy … you know the secret of a successful relationship?
In my opinion: Chemistry
I have seen you joke, laugh, discuss, and more
recently I discovered you have a great sister among us here
I don’t think you can stop the nerves, or the waiting ..
Best thing: enjoy every minute
Hope to hear more about the next steps for the big day … ( and hey? have you forgotten? – I haven’t – you said “ you think the honeymoon is more exciting than the wedding ” … well …. Forget the wedding then … concentrate on the honeymoon )
See you soon,
You are one of us, and what makes you happy, makes me happy as well
1 million best wishes from both; cofman and coftana
Mabrooooooooook
and don't worry about the girly stuff, i think being funny is better than anything else and it seems your fiance is the same :P so take it easy and don't freak out.
salaam
Hey ya 3aroosa,
So.. Augst 4th is the big day eh!
A combination of nervousness and happiness at the same time… normal thing for a 3aroosa I guess! I know I haven't experienced that but it’s a fact which I always hear…
Well,
"am I really ready to get married?"… yes u r
"am i mature enough for that?" …yes u r
"am I a ladylike enough?"… BIG NO! .. (u know its true, just like me.. but am sure u'll adapt and be one lol)
Sweety, no worries, u got a great mother and sister to help u with everything before the wedding and a great man to take care of u after the wedding,, both ways ur in safe hands; other than that mashallah 3alaiki I can c u responsible for everything inshallah and being the mature wife and the fun girl at the same time ;)
I always wanted to be there during the preparation but Allah 3'aleb! Wishing u all the best luck and happiness coz u deserve more… Allah 2ehaneekom ya rab and don't forget to enjoy every single min to the fullest.
P.S. Pass on my best wishes and congrats to the 3arees ;)
Sweet sister, reeeelaaaax
You'll look gorgeous I'm sure of it..and you'll be just fine.
Who said you need to change your casual style after getting married?
Just get a few formal things for occasions here and there...and that'll do.
Take it easy, we're all with you and things will be just fine.
Although I gotta adimt I enjoyed reading your entry and feeling your nervousness..hehehehe vicious..lol I found it pretty cute ;0)
Enjoy the wedding preparations and have fun...lots of fun.
Love
Best wishes

LOL so I was wondering when you were going to blog about it!!
Emmm I dunno, have I changed the way I dress? NO so it's like adding little things here and there :o).. as Dodo said.. you need couple of formal things for occasions and that is about it..
Every thing is going alright and your only concern now should be finding the wedding dress,
To your question "am I mature enough?"...lol
Just concentrate on one thing, that you're going to be with the person you love :o) every things else is going to go well "insha'Allah"!
Ya shefsha lol "oh oh nsetek ya da3wa dindin"... if that's the case before the wedding i wonder how it'd be like after!!!!
A few words of wisdom :)
