I've got two weddings to suffer through next week. Libyan weddings are BORING. They are all the same - the same food is served, the same music is played, the brides all look the same. BORING... sigh

I remember sitting next to a women at a wedding when I went to visit you. Mind you she was Libyan. She said to me with a look of disgust, "My life is so boring. There's nothing to do here. Weddings are the most exciting thing we have to do here... Even that is real boring."
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I do not know what I’m going to do
ReplyDeleteHelp me, I've got two weddings to suffer through
I could skip both if they do not know me by name
Libyan weddings are boring. and are all the same
Same food is served, and same music is played
It takes a miracle to have both weddings delayed
Nothing fun about it when the brides all look alike
I could use my time at home or go on a useful hike
When I got the invitations I got caught off guard
I saw great wedding moments N’ laughed so hard
I’m not making it up everything I said is true
Just to tell about it and want you to know
This is my boring situation to discuss with you
If you have an idea or solution on what to do
Jump in our wagon quick and share your view
Kristen, you're cute

ReplyDeletewell, i'll invite her to my wedding and i'll surprise her
The main thing that bothers me at Libyan weddings is that the music is sooooo loud! Even though I would like to talk to people that I only see at these gatherings it's impossible because of the noise.

yes i went to a libyan wedding once and felt so underdressed near all the ladies...so the second time i bought a better dress..i must say i enjoyed the second one more cos the place was bigger and nicer..
ReplyDeleteI find (close) family weddings are NEVER boring!!
ReplyDeleteI kind of understand why they say no music for religious reasons....BUT how can you have a wedding without the dancing...especially granny dancing...it's just not the same!!:-)
