" Moroccan weddings are very friendly parties lasting up to seven days and usually celebrated in summer. One of these days is called "Hannah, " the bride is with her family and people are dancing all the afternoon.The bride doesn't move because his hands and feet are covered with patterns and designs with " Hannah" , wich is a vegetable used in Morocco during the feasts to decorate the women's hands.
The bride wears a traditional dress with gold or diamond jewels and she's sitting next to his husband. Sometimes the husband isn't there when there is just women is the party.
