Answer

A Zaffe, meaning "march" is a traditional Arabic reception entrance to welcome the newly weds into the reception. It symbolizes the couple's commitment and beginning of a new journey together. During this event, the couple makes their entrance surrounded by family and friends. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as musicians play traditional instruments like drums, bagpipes, and horns. Because of that, there’s a rhythmic and celebratory ambiance!
