Support/Advice

Im Egyptian and so is my spouse we did our katb kitab in Egypt all our family is there . Mind you im from the US and he lives in Egypt I really expected my family that’s in Egypt to go above and beyond for me and they did not . We had our katb kitab celebration In a venue and not a single person from my dad’s side got up to congratulate I had to go myself to greet them which I’ll never do again . When it was time for photos NOT A SINGLE PERSON FROM MY DADS SIDE came to take pictures with me and my husband whatever and ONLY A FEW FROM my moms side took pictures with me. I was in shocked bcuz the vibes were not it , the majority of the time everyone was sitting down and just watching . Some people didn’t even show up . In Egypt you can choose to have the big white dress wedding after and ABSOLUTELY NOT IM NOT doing that anymore after I seen what family is really like, I felt like it was a waste of time they come to just watch and no pictures nothing . Alhamdillah we are already married and when it comes to the white dress we will just have an intimate photo session , ive learned my lesson the first time .
