May 20th Wednesday - I arrive and we go to Faisal and rest at his Sisters house going over the details.

May 21st Thursday - Meet my new friends in Cairo and go shopping with them!

May 22nd Friday - Rent the wedding dress. Meet the family (Mom, Dad, Brothers, Sisters) in Al Zaytoon and check on the details for the celebration with them.

May 23rd Saturday - Wedding celebration day! Take dress to Hair & Make-up place. Then go to wedding portrait place for pictures. Go to hall in the Al Nour Mosque (the light: http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%85%D9%84%...asjed_elnor.jpg). It is next to Waleed's old medical school at Ain Shams (the eye of the sun) University near Abbasya Square. Take pictures outside the Mosque first thing. Celebration in hall before sunset for one hour with video tape rolling.

This is where it's happening. :blush: It's so beautiful. :luv:

Afterwords we go check into a hotel to change and then we go back out to an old classy restaurant called the Greek Club or in arabic Alnadi Alyounani and we meet with friends there. Everyone pays for themselves.

May 24th Sunday - Return the dress and stay another night in the hotel.

May 25th Monday - Leave for Hurghada for the summer!

Cost Estimate:

Hair Make-up for bride: $50

Dress $150

Portraits $50

Hall with Video for one hour $80

Hotel for 2 nights: TBD as we're still looking for an affordable one.

Car to take us around will be provided by his sister's husband.

All the details are tentative but this is our plan. He just needs to make the reservations for everywhere. His sister was at the Mosque earlier when she called him asking him for what day so I guess everything is going ok and we are getting the simple quiet wedding we like after all. I'll let you know for sure when he sends me the note that he made the reservation.

If you have any recommendations on dress shops or hair and make up places to go to please let us know.

Also if you are in Cairo you may call him anytime please and let him know you are coming or if you have suggestions or would like to meet up with us. He will store your number in my phone he got me as well. He asked me who is coming on my side? I said I don't know but I will ask! It would be nice to have someone there for me since my family and friends in the US can not make it.

The mosque is near my school too, it looks more amazing in reality :) Hope everything comes out great like you planned. If you need any help please message me, I live in Cairo. Congratulations and best of luck!! (F):)

Just Wow!! This sounds so romantic, 0livia!! How wonderfully happy I am for the both of you!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

These are the top hairdressers in Egypt; they will cost her fortunes. Starting at at least $5OO on hair only if not more. There are so many places to get her hair done so nicely with way less than that unfortunately I don't have any info on me right now but without a doubt his sister will be taking care of it.
