Wedding in Saudi Arabia

Our special thing is the food. At the party, they cook special, traditional food–rice and a whole sheep on a big plate–and they cook 8-15 plates because usually there are a lot of people at the party.

After dinner, the bridegroom goes out from the back door and takes his wife to start their honeymoon, but sometimes–or usually–his friends will play big jokes on him. For example, they may take him before he leaves with his wife to have a picnic in a place he cannot get back from (the desert) for about 2-3 days to make him late for his honeymoon.
