Celebration at the Groom's House
2:00 pm
Wadi Charour, Lebanon

In Lebanese weddings, the festivities begin at home before the ceremony. The celebration at the groom’s house is a joyful gathering of family and friends as the groom prepares for the day. This is also the moment when the groom's parents, along with his relatives and friends, set off to go pick up the bride from her family home. Guests are warmly invited to join in this lively send-off, accompanied by music, dancing, and heartfelt blessings before everyone heads to the bride’s house and then to the church. A chauffeur will be available throughout the day to take our international guests between locations.
