Summary of Syrian wedding |Traditional wedding from Syria | Moumena Saradar
The video explains traditional Syrian wedding customs, focusing on the initial steps of the marriage process:
- The groom's family calls the bride's family to express interest and ask preliminary questions about the groom (name, age, education).
- If the bride's mother approves, an appointment is set for a first visit.
- During the visit, the groom's mother and sisters are welcomed into the bride's home.
- The groom's mother subtly inspects the guest room’s details (wall frames, curtains, furniture, cleanliness, and scent) to assess the bride’s family’s tidiness and organization.
- The bride enters dressed nicely, wearing light makeup and perfume, and serves coffee to the guests.
- A friendly conversation takes place where the groom's mother evaluates the bride’s demeanor, voice, and responses to see if she is a suitable match for her son.
- Similarly, the bride observes the groom’s mother’s speech and attire, considering the family as a potential future extended family.
- The visit lasts about 30 minutes, after which the guests leave.
- The next steps for both families are promised to be explained in a follow-up video.
