The Wedding

So our third week is coming to a close so I'm going to update you on a few different things. The wedding was an absolute blast! I'm going to use real names because if you have been on my facebook you have seen that I have a few new friends. Khadigah is the one who invited us to the wedding and we hung out with her at the wedding. There were two separate rooms, one for men and one for women. We were not really sure what to wear so we dressed modestly, however, all the women were just wearing normal dresses you would see them wear to any wedding. Also none of them were wearing hijabs and everyone was just eating, dancing, and having a good time. There were SOOOO many people there, it was crazy but I loved it. We were taught a dance called the debkah which is a very simple dance that reminded me of greek style dancing. We also did a little bit of "freestyle" which was fun. After the wedding we went to a coffee shop called Tim Horton's, if you are living in a state that borders Canada, you will know what a Tim Horton's is. But its a good coffee place, a lot of which stay open 24 hours. It was so relaxing just to sit and talk with Khadigah and a couple of her friends. There was no pressure to convert or awkward conversations. It was just like sitting with a group of friends and talking. We were able to ask them questions and they asked us questions and by the end we were laughing and just having a good time. This was only the beginning........
