When the set day of the wedding comes, there are a lot of things to do. First of all, it has to be on Thursdays and Fridays, as Thursdays and Fridays are the weekend here in Oman. The bride's family prepares the bride very well. They decorate her hands and feet with henna. Also, they but on the make up at a salon. In the past the brides wore a green dress, but nowadays they prefer a big white dress, the bigger, the better. On the other hand, the men in the groom's family prepare the groom with a haircut and put an expensive scarf on his head and an expensive kangar. At night, they celebrate either in the house or in a hotel, or outside in an open space decorated for the occasion. The women arrive at first with the bride and dance. The groom arrives later. Then they sing together and dance. In addition, they take photos together. After that, the couple goes to sleep. After the wedding day in the morning, the bride's family visits the bride and the groom family prepares lunch for them. Also, people go to eat lunch and congratulate the groom. After three days, the groom and the bride leave for honeymoon to start a new family.

Finally as you read, weddings in Oman have special things and its own costumes. It is totally different from other countries. I hope you it as I do. I want our traditions to continue forever, because it is the source of happiness for Omanis.
