Finally I have attended an Afghan Wedding. Jawanshir invited me to attend the wedding of his brother. It was a love marriage, as opposed to an arranged marriage, and it was beautiful. There were about 1000 guests. Men in one hall and girls in another. They had a video link between the 2 halls, which is apparently important as a potential meeting ground for new couples.

The place was decked out in green everything, as green is the colour of islam. The bride’s first dress is green, the second is traditional and the third is white.
