Maamoun,
What a coincidence ! I have immediate solution for your problem ... Wedding Experss (3oros Express) of Future TV had their first wedding in Jordan ... it might help, but we will all laugh ... it was really funny one.

15,000 JD for just a night and it is even more in sometimes, and guess what ? you pay all this basically to satisfy people ... but as usual many people will not be satisfied ... lol ... Hard Luck.

IT's crazy! yeah and I agree with the consultant, that these expenses are to satisfy people whom won't be satisfied!...

But you know? BTESTAHALO! 5argkom! ;)

Neverland82..5arjna!!! do u know how many girls I can sa7ib o aroo7 o 2aaji bi haik mabla'3!!

15,000 JD's is not cost effective for a wedding party.. trust me!!

Since Maamoun mentioned the "not cost effective" subject ... I would like to mention the RoI ... Return on Investment, a term heavily used when spending money. So what do you think guys ... is it worthy RoI?

Abu 7amarneh, consider wedding expences as a down payment, and the other expences and running cost as the monthley payment of an unlimited, long term Life Loan.. I wonder which bank can offer this loan.. world bank maybe

I have to side with the guys on this one ... it is really ridiculous to get people you probably never see again in your whole life to attend your wedding and then bad mouth you while you suffer from debt and monthly payments for the loans the groom took to pay for the stupid wedding .. that is so shallow

If you ask me, a simple gathering with only close family and friends .. people that are really involved in your lives .. that is more than enough ... then go for a great honeymoon that you will remember for the rest of your life and smile about it ...

grow up people .. it is better if you take the money and through it in the air in al sa7a el hashmiyeh downtown .. at least then you will get 7asanat for charity .. LOL

1- nothing pleases a woman
2- Nothing will please people who are gonna be at the wedding anyways

so my solution was, why the wedding in the first place??? okay usually weddings are to go public enno these two people are married.... so a simple engagment party would do.. w ba3dein use the money you were gonna spend offering dinner to all the people on your wedding and invest them in a GOOD honey moon :)

heheheheh 3n jad enkm betda7ko:)

I think its nice to have a great wedding party but when i think about it deeply i feel that its really 7aram to pay 20000 JDs for a single night w el3alam 3m betmot jo3 !!! its unfair.

I wish i will be able to think this way when i am planing to my wedding :)kidding :)

actually i hate arabic weddings, el3aroos w el3arees bekono masmodeen w 7awalaihom nas be3rafohom w ma be3rafohom w be7ebohom w ma be7ebohom w elnas te6ala3 3laihom ... i hate that. w elmoshkeleh eno b3d kl elmasareef w eldioon be6la3o elnas mo 3ajebhom shi abadn!
