A Moroccan wedding is one of the most popular marriages in all parts in the world. It takes approximately 3 days:
- The first day is devoted to "Henna" which is a reddish-brown dye that is made form the leaves of a shrub. It's used especially for coloring hair and skin. We always put it on the bride's hand with the assistance of all the guests who are often relatives of the couple.
- The second day is the major day when they celebrate this greatest event. The "Negafa" (a woman) takes a big part in the wedding. She's responsible for changing the bride's dresses especially to traditional clothes such as "Fassi" (from Fes), "Tamazight" (Berber), and "Rabati" (from Rabat) styles during the ceremony. The band starts playing different kings of Arabic music without forgetting "dkaykya" who performs a wonderful show, accompanied with "youyou" (ululations) that informs the coming of the couple in the middle of the marriage. The dinner is served, it focuses on traditional food that which reflects the generosity of Moroccan people. At the end, the groom takes the bride's hand and they leave while the guests keep dancing all night.
- In the morning on the third day, the bride's family takes the breakfast to the groom's home, and they eat lunch together in order to show they have become one family.
