once married your MARRIED file as such but say married filing seperate, for us it wasnt worth the effort to get the ITN number it was more trouble than it was worth then adjust after he is here to get that small amount back

Congratulations!!

We had our wedding in my country, Palestine. Wedding here depends on the family or the area's tradition. But, there are common things most families do. It starts three days before the main party. Shopping day " clothes, make-up, rent or buy dresses, buy gold" mostly for the bride and the groom pay for everything which cast a lot. Is it fair ?!!!. The second day is for the gold and Hennah parties. The groom goes to the bride's house, "Usually people do it in a hall", to give her the gold and do the Hennah for her including dancing, music and screaming . Then when the groom finishes, he goes back to his own Hennah party with his friends and family. People dancing and do the traditional Palestinian dancing "Dabka". In the last day, the main party "white dress", the groom takes his bath "Hammam" in the afternoon in his house or somebody's else " usually friends invite the groom" and sit in the living room waiting people "men" to come and congrats him and give him money which is my favorite part " sometime, he gets most of the money that he spended in the wedding back". after people congrats him, they go for lunch. Here some families after the lunch do something different which is "Zafah" Old Palestinian tradition. The groom ride a hours while friends and families dancing and singing in the groom's neighborhood which awesome. In the same time the bride has her own party in her house with her friends and family waiting the groom to come, but I do not know that much about it because I have never attended women party except mine, and it was different. After the groom finishes, he goes with his friends and family by 10s of cars to bring the bride and go to the main party together where they can exchange rings, cake, first dance and music. And some families when they finish from the this, they do men party include dinner for the guests at the evening in their neighborhood and bring singer and dance until late night.It is crazy right! But, not all families do everything because of the money issue and the situation here. It is crazy right!! May be I forgot or confused in many things.

We just did the main party in one day because we could not afford to do everything. Congrats again and enjoy your wedding and try to not worry about small little details.

Thank you for sharing! Sounds like a wonderful time. You painted quite a picture. I am hoping to witness a wedding party while I'm in Morocco this summer.

Congratulations.

Enjoy this pre wedding time and if you have no control over it just sit back and let it all happen.

You will be fully involved in your celebration back in the States.

Good Luck.

I don't think I'd take a chance on the best I could do for myself for my wedding - I'd go to one of the "few" instead.

As for taxes, I was told that I can file as single because my husband isn't here yet.

Sorry I don't have any links for hair. I know in Egypt they are used to doing black hair. Many Egyptians/Saudi's (I am sure other Arab's as well) have very course/thick hair. I wouldn't be suprised if you find somewhere in Lebanon that can do your hair. Worst case, just google it....google has everything

I wish you a blessed and beautiful wedding. Don't forget pics!!! We wanna see 'em Again, congrats and best wishes!!

I had such a hard time finding a dress, everything was extra poofy or had a TON of sparkly stuff on it. It all seemed too gaudy for me. I would have brought a dress from the USA if I had known, probably.

Congratulations on your marriage! :]

as for the taxes read again the tax site once married your married for the year no matter what day (as end of the year) and he doesnt have to be here, you can file for his itn number or just file married but as yourself (alone) but still married not a a couple
