Weddings? How would you like yours?

    (Random Somali Couple, most somali weddings have the bride in a white wedding dress and she will have her hands and elsewhere decorated with Henna just like the bride above but with maybe less make-up :P)


    So anyways Salaamz Everybody
    this post is all about weddings, i think weddings are interesting as every culture plus religion etc has different very interesting customs, that i enjoy finding out about, so ill post about Somali weddings and maybe you guys can share info on weddings worldwide, :) (post inspired by something i attended last night)
    Party number 1)
    In the Typical somali wedding (typical depends on whatever is considered fashionable at the time) there is a islamic Nikaah and the men are like given their own sort of nikah party (that means given money from the groom and loads of food) sometimes people hold the ceremony in homes inviting a sheikh/imaam to do the neccesary ritual stuff , and the women wait in another room until someone tells them when the rituals have been completed then the grooms family hand over the dowry to someone of the brides family and give money to everybody in the place so to all the men, and then one of the men takes some money and gives it to all the women and kids and stuff, then after loads of eating of halwa and traiditional sweets and food they all go away, some families then rent a hotel or a hall and hold a party and some dont.
    Party Number 2-Wedding Party
    Some people throw their wedding party obviously after their nikaah , this is obviously a big occasion the bride wears a white wedding dress, and then later changes maybe to a dirac a somali thing and then a really traditional thing later a guntiino (looks sorta like a sari but its always red) , they get their hair done and decorate their arms and feet with Henna and the bride will be wearing lots of gold because somalis love gold, the party will be ina hotel decorated and everything food will come from a resturaunt and their is Music, hired people to sing, sometimes weddings are "segregated" theres no men there but the singer is a man and so is the camera man and the groom might be there and some of the brides brothers and stuff so not very segregated so i would cover if your invited to a "segregated" somali wedding. at the wedding theres a traditional thing called "baranbur" done its a fun sort of dance percussion is used and its like someone singing poetry which praises the bride and the groom and their families and stuff and then there is dancing to normal "pop" somali music and "Niiko" (whre you shake your ass youtube it) and depending on where from somalia the brides family are there may be other dances, its normally a lot of fun somali weddings start around 8 everybody turns up at 9 or 10 pm and the wedding ends at around 3 or 4 am the next morning.
    Party Number 3
    7 days after every wedding there is a tradition mostly from south somalia though everyone else follows it now too, called "todobo" which means seven, you knw seven days after a wedding etc, its basicaly when everyone brings this thing called a "shaash" you use to cover your hair with, because before in somalia they only covered their hair after hey got married, its sorta like a bandana or something but people still bring it for tradition , and the bride is showered with gifts from friends, given gold from the grooms family from her own family from her friends, and people give gifts of money and all the guests who are related to the bride or groom also give money this by the end adds up to thousands they are also given household apliances , duvets bed stuff etc
    Last night i went to my Cousins wife's "todobo" and it was amazing there was music and dancing and live band and food and cameras and everything there was dances baranbur niiko and some traiditonal dances for south somaliz and traditional dances and songs for somalis from north, there was the gifts and the gold and money and stuff and this todobo was intresting because there was practiced a tradition for north somaliz which has been sorta changed now, there is absicaly this thing called a heedho and it was like a box and they fill it with gold and money and incense and candles and perfumes and jewelry and evrything they want and give it to the bride and some to the grooms sisters, and the bride last night got 8 of those (lucky her) , and at 3am everyone went home after a lot of fun.
    how are weddings where you are from?

Guys & Girls-The Difference in the rules







    Hey guys , Asalamu Aleikum
    this is a post , about something which i have been noticing for a very long time and wondering exactly why, so i thought i would ask my experts (you guys instead), i keep noticing that guys are allowed to get away with so much more then their female counterparts.
    example number 1
    Recently my cousin moved into my grandmas really lovely apartment, because my grandma went away for ages to another country , however he actually normally lives with his mum and his dad my uncle who are actually very religious (when it comes to themselves) however my cousin is allowed to go to a flat, and invite women to the flat and "talk" and do whatever they want, however i cant imagine any female from like the entire family suggesting something like that to anybody ever, i think they would all have like a simultaneous heart attack or something similar, and be shocked and never peak to her again.

    Example Number 2

    noticed that at parties or anywhere, things are happening guys who are also muslim and who realise that alchohol is forbidden think its perfectly normal to drink and to smoke , however they are already to find it totally haram for any female to do the same.

    example Number 3
    boys in my family are perfectly able to talk about their girlfriends to everyone including the grandparents , but the grandparents think its weird if any of the girls even speak to a guy

    example number 4

    some of my cuzins and bro etc talk about weird things that happened to them in night clubs, yeah night clubs and theyd kill me if i walked past one.

    *just so you all know i dont actually want to do any of the things mentioned above, just that i hate it that islamic rules seem to apply on to females (how people act), when the rules are the same for everybody.

    and i actually dont understand, if dating is haram for me its haram for guys too and if qamr or alchohol is haram its haram for boys too and no they didnt make smoking halal for guys and haram for girls.

    PS-yesterday i went shopping with my friend and went to a cafe where i learnt the art of becoming fatter, but found that ghost perfume set for half price with cream and everything and it smells amazing , also gok wan weird gay dude perfume set which is huge
    for £20 each :)

    i have kinda "celebrated" or remembered islamic new year twice im so proud of myself coz i never used to know when it is but year last year and this year i did lol, so this year i just went out with a friend we went out to eat and mess about in the snow and then went to her house and did like our own fashion show because of something that was going to happen at school on the last day and had loads of fun , im looking forward to the other new year because i love fireworks so ill probably go in the cold to central london and watch the fireworks by the river and evry year it looks totally spectacular. however i also have exams yet again so inshallah please make duas 4 me and if i see anything lvoely ona baragain ill let you know, btw if anyone lives in the UK boots and debenhams are having awesome sales

Latest Modern Hair Trends for Winter 2010

    Modern Hairstyle Trends presents Latest Modern Hair Trends for Winter 2010

    In 2010 there will be more hairstyles to come. Women are cutting their hair shorter these days and more will do this in 2010.Having short hair helps to save time and look great as well. Most men are striving to look like Gerard Butler who is famous for starring in the hit film 300.


    One of the best hairstyles out there is the fringe hairstyle. The bangs are going to be very prominent. Make sure that you have the right face shape for this style. If you have a smaller forehead, this style may not work for you. Those with longer foreheads will find the fringe style very useful.

Modern Beauty Hairstyles for winter 2009 2010

    Modern Hairstyle Trends presents Modern Beauty Hairstyles for winter 2009 2010

    If you have a beauty contest soon and want to win first research your facial shape, and find a style and color that will naturally look good with your facial features, eye color, and skin tone.Straight hair can be cut and styled to easily create small waves at least. All of that being said, look at the five highest ranking Miss America contestants in 2009. Kristen Dalton of North Carolina ultimately won, but Carrie Prejean of California, Alicia-Monique Blanco from Arizona, Laura Chukanov from Utah, and Maria Montgomery from Kentucky all had the same hairstyle – long, down, and wavy! You do the math.
