Lebanese weddings are the worst kind of weddings. Forget the fact the bride and groom spend a fortune on it, it's the other things that count. There is an insane amount of pressure to look perfect down to the T ... because if you don't, you'll be the talk of the village.
1. You receive a very tacky invitation card that you spend at least two days criticizing
Omg! Nyaaa2! Shefte el card? Eh sheft! Ana no way aamel heik card. Stay classy guys!
2. You've already made up your mind that you're a zillion times better looking than the bride ... but you need to look A+ zillion times better
No you didn't. Sit down girl!
3. You insist on spending at least $500 on your hair at Joe Raad's hair salon
Because spending more = better hairstyle and color ...
4. Then you spend another $500 on an unbelievably ugly and complicated dress
Aww!! That's so cute! Shaklek metl l trayya! Maybe if we put you in the middle of the room, bitdawwi!
5. Nine hours later, you finally go to that wedding looking like a drag queen
Lebanese women are borrowing drag queen makeup and applying it exactly as it is ...
