a celebration

As we sat down to dinner in a restaurant tonight, I noticed the room next to us was filled with women, and all of the women had veils and long dresses. There were no men. After asking around, I found out there was a wedding celebration. After the wedding, the women stayed downstairs with the bride while the groom went upstairs with the men. The bride was totally covered in white, and the only skin I could see was her face. It was very different from the wedding ceremonies we have at home.
