Can you describe a wedding ceremony in morocco?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is what my students wrote about some of our celebrations:

We are writing this article so as to describe some of our ceremonies.

There are many kinds of ceremonies:

1)Engagement: This ceremony is the first step before celebrating the wedding. The way this ceremony is carried out depends on traditions & customs of the town, but in general, the groom's family visits the bride's family and they take gifts and flowers with them.

When the guests arrive, the hosts meet them with flowers, milk and dates and they sit with each other and talk with the bride's parents so as to agree about the date of the wedding ceremony.

2)Marriage:We celebrate it in a big place, where there are many guests(from the groom's family, the bride's family& their neighbours) to whom a music band sings traditional as well as modern songs. People spend the night dancing and having fun.

Concerning the bride's clothes, she wears traditional ones like "Takchita, Caftan", and at the end of the ceremony she wears a white wedding dress like the one we see in most films. The groom generally wears two types of clothes a traditional "Jellaba" and a modern suit.

As for meals, guests eat pastilla, meat with dried prunes, chicken, dessert. They also have tea with several varieties of cookies…

3)Baptism: Seven days after the baby's birth; the family celebrates it by inviting relatives, cousins and neighbors and preparing food for them just like in a wedding. This is what my students wrote about some of our celebrations:
