Question

What time will the ceremony start?

Answer

1:00 PM on the dot! No Egyptian/Indian Standard Time!

Question

Will this be an Indian or Coptic wedding?

Answer

God willing, we hope to combine the rites from both churches since, technically, all the Oriental Orthodox Churches are one church.

Question

Can I ululate (zaghrat)?

Answer

While we know you are super excited about us, we kindly ask that you refrain from such cultural practices. "And He said to them, "It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer'" (Matthew 21:13).
