The pictures are over two nights. The first night was the Henna Party and the Contract Signing. This was at the Bride's house and the whole Bride's family is there and the Groom's family arrives bringing gifts and they sign the formal wedding contract. This was a smaller event with about 150 people.

The second night was a CRAZY party with 500 people at the Hilton Rabat. It started at 9:00 and went till 6:30 AM!!!

The bride wears gold for the henna party/contract signing. At the wedding party, the bride changes clothes 6 TIMES!!! It was crazy!! The first outfit was a white traditional Moroccan dress and the last one was a white western style wedding dress.
