This is my first post!
Before I talk about weddings, I’d like to share you some information about weddings in the past, which in my opinion, was unique and interesting. The information I’m going to provide in this post came from my grandmother, she got married in the traditional Kuwaiti way!
So, If you are asking what has changed about weddings I would tell you in this post what’s has changed and you may change your mind and get married in the way my grand mother did!
Yalwa:
Most of you might know what Yalwa is but for people who don’t know what Yalwa is please let me tell you when and how Yalwa operates.
What is Yalwa? Yalwa is a major event that occurs before the wedding where the bride gathers with her family and friends to celebrate.
How it’s done? The bride’s family and friends surround her while holding a green piece of fabric and singing Ameena fe Amaneeha which is a traditional song sung especially for this occasion.

Songs:
People in the past tended to bring folk bands to sing for their weddings. There are a number of folkloric songs those bands sing for weddings like:
“Ameena fe Amaneeha”
“Habbi Al Saad”
“Alieeh Saeed ou Mobarak”
Where weddings were held in:
The only place where weddings were held was the bride’s house backyard.
Henna:
Also there was a tradition in the past that the bride must wear Henna in her hands for her wedding
