Traditions
          First of all, the girls can’t choose a husband, because their religion doesn’t  allow this, so the bride’s parents choose a husband for their daughter.  After how the both parents engaged their children, they all drink very sweet water “Sharbyat” that symbol of sweet life for couple. Right after engagement, the parents-in-law might come every week to visit bride and they bring gifts for her or their future daughter; in that way they call her.
          
          There is a bachelorette party or henna-party before the wedding day. The bride puts
henna on her hands first and makes a wish after that, she passes henna to other girls and has a party with them and receives a lot of gifts. The important thing is that only women and girls from the bride’s side can have henna on the hand. There is belief that your future husband very loves you if henna gets red after few hours and if henna gets more red then his love to you is more powerful..
