Hilde -- Did you have some ideas on the wedding?
|
I did a little browsing of desert and tribal weddings, almost all of which were North African or from the Arab Peninsula. In what was dug up, most of these things were/are long drawn out celebrations with henna parties, fixing a bride price and so on. I think some of this could be adopted such as camel races, drumming, drinking, sword dances and so on. But then again they could always have a sparse and simple to do, viewing the circumstances. Or they could elope.
I think an lively celebration would give the characters time to intermingle and talk easily, though. And give everyone the opportunity to see another more fun loving side to these folk.
Does anybody else have other thoughts or ideas? Perhaps modeling after a different area of the world?
Ealasaide, would it be appropriate to model this after a Native American marriage? I have no idea what that might be like.
Do we have a funeral ritual picked out then,
Miss Cami?
