He kissed me on the lips gently

Khalid was following me the whole time calming me down

from the back slowly

Khalid: stop worrying and let me worry for you, today is our day

Khalid and I made out for a while then he drove my car home, the garden looked like heaven, they made it look beautiful! Our wedding was going to be there by the way, but I ran around

fixing some stuff and changing others.

At 12 the massage women arrived and I went up to my room to get my massage while Khalid

hung around my father and Faisal.

Two hours later I left my room exhausted, when 2 women came in and started fixing the

unfixable nails I had.

Then my mom's schedule said I had to have my beauty sleep until six, which I did after Khalid came in and said goodbye so he can go get ready himself.

I woke up at 6 by Abdulmajeed singing 3omri ma fakart feeeek oo la 6arah fel baal 7obak, lain

galbi gal abeeek oo galat e3yooni a7ebak.

Lama: aloo *sleepy*

Khalid: goomai madaamty!!

Lama: Khalid!! Ga9er shh banaam

Khalid: hahahaha yala yal daloo3a goomai

Lama: ok ok bye!

Khalid: ok ya rou7y bye

Lama: bye *nafsia*

I got up, washed up and called my mom to come in check on me and bring in the saloon people. The makeup lady took an hour just doing her thing, it looked so pretty, simple, but it made me look like the elegant bride and I loved it. Then they started styling my hair based on our earlier tries; it was styled to go up, in a simple way, with my hair twisting in on each side. I swear it looked hot!!

When I was done all this it was at 8, I got into my white dress. I put on my Oscar de la Renta dress, and the comfortable extra high heels, my mom put on all the jewelry on for me, and then I took about half an hour to pose for pictures. After that was done, I heard them announcing that the bride will enter in a couple of minutes and for everyone to take their place. Our wedding, by the way, was both men and women. But Khalid was still going to come in, in the typical manner.

When I got at the bottom of the stairs they took some pictures and I was so nervous I was going to cry. The music started playing and I was to walk down the aisle now, just like I practiced, don’t fall lama don’t fall!!! Each few steps I would take pictures and walk then stop take pictures and walk to I got to my kosha. My sisters helped me get seated and looking at the place it was gorgeous! Just like a dream. Moments later everyone came to pose in pictures with me.
Hala looked gorgeous, I haven’t seen her for a while now, we took pictures then she sat next to me.

Hala: abashrich?

Lama: ee shfeech?

I felt bad for her, for losing her baby, but it wasn’t right, it wasn’t her fault, her sister understood that, her sister helped her, they both went to the doctor in Lebanon and got rid of it,

it wasn’t too soon, she needed to let go, and she had a surgery that meant she was a girl again, I felt good for her, it wasn’t her mistake, she was raped. And I couldn’t be there for her, I was in Europe with my family. I love this girl.

Hala: en5e6abt. He knows, he is ok with what happened knowing it isn’t my fault. Imagine I'm next!!!

Lama: I wish I could scream but I cant, I am so happy for you *I smiled*

Hala: a5aleech 7abeebty *smiled*

This went for an hour, people taking pictures and all then it was announced that Khaloodi was coming in.

My heart started beating fast, I couldn’t wait! I saw him come in slowly staring just at me, not anyone else, his smile was shining the whole room, he looked so handsome with his broad shoulders and his shaved face. My baby! He came to our kosha, knelt and kissed my head then we took half an hour to pose for pictures.

I wanna ask all the unmarried girls this. You know when you are in a wedding and the groom is sitting next to the bride, and he says something to her, and she starts giggling? Well Khalid was sitting next to me, holding my hand and came close to whisper into my ear, I giggled before he said anything.

Khalid: ajmal ma fel koon, w ajmal ma eb hal 9ala, I want you to be mine forever, Lama, mu m9adeg inich malti, I can't wait till this is over and well be alone together, I want to show you how much I love you.

I looked into this man's eyes and smiled.

I mean I looked into my husband's eyes and smile :)
