ceremonies

Since most of the "lawful" ceremonies are done, we basically didn't plan anything more than just a few simple traditions.

In Afghan culture, the bride and groom are showered with sweets and cash. I asked my nanas what it means, and he was like "I don't know, means something". So, my best guess is, it's for good luck. I mean, what else would it be? He he.

Then we had the typical cutting the cake, getting gifts and speeches.

No first dances, just everyone dancing.

We invited a Balinese dance group, and I almost died knowing that in the morning that day, the Entertainment Organizer told me that they had an internal problem, causing 25 dancers not being able to come.

They ended up fixing it and got another dancers, not what I paid for, truth to be told.

Lille is such a small town, that you could walk around it for almost a day. We arrived in the day around 11am, and explored the city center in hours. It was a Sunday when we arrived so pretty much all the shops were closed. 

​

Most cafes in the square have outdoor seatings, which made it feel "communal" and you can watch people dance in the middle of the square as the town gets darker.
