It’s wedding season! We have a love-hate relationship with this time of the year because Lebanese weddings are so extra!
Extravagance
Lebanese wedding dresses usually weight a ton, and the cake is ten stories high.
“3a2belik” / “3a2belak”
You meet people you’ve never seen in your life
People greet you, and you pretend you know them while actually, you have no idea who they are.
Overdressed people
Attending a Lebanese wedding costs a kidney and your soul.

Well yeah, the last time you saw me was at my first communion.
Car parades
The cars are usually very fancy.
Dabke
Dabke is the best part of all Lebanese parties! Earlier this year, two police officers came to raid a Lebanese wedding in New South Wales, but the guests distracted them with dabke.
Critics
The number one reason why some people throw small wedding parties is to avoid ungrateful people. Some guests criticize everything: the food, the music, the dancers, etc. and keep talking and gossiping about the wedding for a year. Is getting a life that hard?
Photo shoots and selfies
Some people take the opportunity that they look on fleek and take thousands of selfies to post them on Instagram.
You go broke
Because attending Lebanese weddings is an expensive activity.
