Lebanese Wedding 2 - Costume Drama

A wedding takes some serious planning and some serious money but it is probably exceeded by that invested in the ladies dresses. All the looking and browsing and shopping and trying and thinking and matching and preparing - and of course, slimming. Particularly so if you are of the 'pairing' age. For this can have a lifelong payback.

The result is not just an artistic creation but often an engineering marvel. For the aim is to create disbelief, tantalise and play tricks on the eye with colour and line, invention, daring and surprise.. The audience is everyone, your potential suitor, your female friends and your own self. It is all a performance and you are on show.

And yet all this is a one-time event, for the next celebration will require a new dress. Novelty is essential. The stakes are high. The rewards well worth the investment.
