My First Victim

The uncertainty in Lebanon has taken its toll on my planned wedding.

no longer..

We were getting prepared for our wedding in early January.

We have set the date, reserved the hall and made a non-refundable down payment to the fancy place just north of Beirut (picture).

For the last three days, though, most of our invitees have been pressuring us not to have our wedding outside of Tripoli (where we’re both from). They say it’s not safe.
“My friends parents have decided not to allow them to go to party in Beirut”, my sad fiancée told me, “no matter how nice the wedding is, it will be terrible if the invitees didn’t show up”

It pains me that we might have to reschedule everything, but I guess things could have been worse.
