An interesting tradition


On the 6th I had the privilege of being the MC for the wedding of Dexter and Leayana, a very handsome couple. It was indeed a classy affair.


Lynx, the band; Zezito of The Wedding Planners, the decorators; Joshila, the caterers…all did an amazing job!.


Many couples give the sweet coated almonds as their giveaways. Dexter & Leayana did this too. But, the difference was that they explained the significance of these almonds on the pretty boxes they had made.


I was given to understand that this is a Jordanian custom and the five almonds stand for the blessings people bestow on the couple namely, health, wealth, happiness, fertility & longevity. Also, because odd numbers are indivisible, this also symbolizes that the newly weds will share everything and remain always undivided.
