married at the Baha'i Temple at Terry Hills in a traditional Baha'i Ceremony with Kamal's Dad and Brother chanting prayers in Persian while his uncle played this unusual flat guitar-cross-xylophone instrument! In their culture you are only engaged for max 3months so they managed to plan this beautiful day in a really short time! I admire them, being in the know about wedding planning as I am {wink}. The day was perfect, even though dark clouds kept whizzing over (man they move fast at Terry Hills! I forgot its up so high!) and we would be like "oh no, that cloud looks like rain.... oh, it's gone!" LOL! Their ceremony was similar to Christian ceremonies, with prayers and readings and vows (one line!) and signing the register. More like what I'm used in weddings then our friend Daniel's Arabic Orthodox Chrisitan wedding last Feb which was all in 
Arabic, with incence and constant chanting in Arabic, 4 priests, long golden robes on the bride and groom, henna tattooing etc! Very different! The Baha'i Temple was such an awesome backdrop for their wedding, it made for great pics! Ok Bridesmaids (aka sisters) this is for you: remind me to SMILE on the day! Shohreh was so nervous and shy that she kept her head down during the whole ceremony cos she was crying! So remind me, to put my head up and smile, at least every now and then, even if I am crying!! So what am I doing today? Apart from posting all the wedding pics on Facebook (hehe) I am baking my birthday cake (a giant cupcake with the cake pan Alicia gave me for Christmas) and rocking my Wedding shoes while dancing around the living room picking songs for our wedding video!! LOL!
It's my Birthday tomorrow!!

Are you making your own birthday cake? :(
I saw the pics on facebook - the photos are fantastic! You should hire yourself out! Wow to planning the wedding in three months!! A friend of ours is Baha'i - I think he and his wife converted after they were married tho. I never thought about what a Baha'i wedding would be like!
Saw Avatar today. Of course there was lots of hype so I told dave to prepare himself for disappointment (we've been stung too many times before) but we liked it. He didn't love it, but thought it the CGI was awesome. I wasn't a huge fan of the battle (yawn) but i thought the rest was awesome. Love the concept too.
