Following tradition, prayers preceeded Hasnaine's Phiti ceremony. Click on images to enlarge.
Phiti is the paste that's made out of chikpea flour, turmeric, rosewater and other ingredients.
Friends and family have fun covering the groom in this paste. It is good for your skin and is believed to help look your best for your wedding day.
Alia's mom and family come to present gifts and blessings to Hasnaine.
Hasnaine's mom presents a gift to Alia's mom, and Hasnaine is taken away again by his mother to end the formal ceremony.
Thereafter a short gathering with some amazing fruit pudding.
Just a little teaser from tomorrow's Day 4 post.
