DAY 2: The call

14/04/15

The initial call from Thaher dad to my dad was something I’ll always remember. Within our culture it’s very much like we’re living in the Victorian times, where the groom’s father would ask the bride’s father for his daughter’s hand in marriage. Here is where the ice is broken between both families and the first introductions happen. I’ve never felt so excited, emotional and fully of butterflies like I did on this day. I really did feel like a child listening in on adult conversations and I’ve never in my life wanted two people to connect so badly. My dad and my future husband’s dad – the two most influential people in both our lives.
