Remember, it's a Muslim wedding. I've never been to one, so I want to be sure that what I wear is in keeping with their tradition and respectful of their customs.
I know that it's customary for arms to be covered, and garments should not be revealing or fit too closely. I'm barefoot in these photographs, but I'll be wearing dark stockings and dark shoes. No ankles showing either.
The bride and groom have informed us that men will be in one hall, and women will be in the other. This was done so that the women would not have to wear hijabs (their head coverings) unless they choose to when the groom is in the women's hall. I'll take a scarf along and if the women cover their heads when he enters, I'll follow suit out of respect.

We'll be at the wedding this weekend, and if cameras are allowed, you know I'll share! (If they're not, I'll ask the bride and groom to share a picture with me for you.)
So. What do you think? Please tell me this is going to work, because I don't know what I'll do if you don't like it.
Hi Donna,
ReplyDeleteYou certainly look beautiful in your dress. That is a very becoming style of dress and yep, you should plan to wear it again. I would get a black scarf to wear as well. Boy, I would really love to meet you...really like your style! Have a good time.

Oh Donna, you look beautiful in that dress! Very 'bewitching'. I think it is so nice of you to be so respectful of their customs. Enjoy the wedding! Twyla
ReplyDeleteLove your dress you look beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteyour outfit is stunning, I'm sure you will have a great time
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful and elegant and so very thoughtful of the traditions of cultures unlike our own. I adore your outfit and Bewitched. Often I have wished I could merely twitch my nose and voila! Enjoy and be comfortable above all else. You truly are stunning in this lovely outfit.
ReplyDeleteI think it is perfect for the occasion and will work just fine... And you look very beautiful in it to boot! Enjoy the wedding and a culturally new experience. I look forward to all the details.
ReplyDeleteIs this the couple you made the peacock quilt for?
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
I think that looks stunning. My first thought was much more Elizabeth Taylor than Endora but I do see what you were getting at with Samantha's outfits. I loved that programme when I was a kid. Used to spend hours trying to wiggle my nose. Enjoy the wedding. I'm sure it will be stunning, intersting and educational all in one.
ReplyDeleteDear Donna,
ReplyDeleteYou look great! You found a wonderful outfit that is considerate of others customs. I think the other women will be very comfortable with you and you with them!
Tell us about the food!!!!!
Hugs, Toni
Love this post, Donna!

Bewitched was one of my favorite shows- still is! Oh, Endora. The wonderfully original Agnes Moorehead.
Have a wonderful time at the wedding-it will be a wonderful experience!
I love the outfit; you look beautiful. I can only imagine how stunning Tag will be in his tux & top hat! ( I LUV Tag's posts!)
ReplyDeleteI really like it, very becoming on you!
ReplyDeleteVery good choice - you look beautiful ;)
ReplyDeletedonna, you are stunning in this outfit. handsome is going to be so proud to have you on his arm. i think it will be completely appropriate. it sounds like it took some searching. the search was worth it. yes the dress is good for the wedding but you look fantastic in it so wear it a lot for dressy occasions. i'm sure you will receive lot's of compliments. your weight loss is showing!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been in Blogland for over a week! So glad to come back and catch up. What a beautiful outfit for a very special lady...and it looks so comfy!
ReplyDeleteWe will be attending a wedding tomorrow as well, and I chose a pair of crepe palazzo pants similar to yours. Yes, this is the wedding I made the flowers for, so the promised pictures will be coming very soon. You and handsome have a wonderful time at the wedding and we'll exchange stories soon.
