Dancing with Women

I was dancing at a wedding with an acquaintance of mine who is very good friends with the bride. When we got to the point on the dance floor closest to where the bride was sitting, she faced her and stood there for what seemed to be an eternity smiling and dancing.

I'm not homophobic (and neither the girl nor the bride were bisexual nor lesbians), and it was not the first time that i see this, but it was a bit weird. I felt very self conscious and did not know what to do. So i stood there smiling and dancing in front of the bride (camera zoomed on my face and silicon attachable breasts – KD 10 from AlTaher) until i got my cue from the girl that she is done with her performance.

I'm sure this fits in with wedding etiquette because the girl was refined to the point that makes me want to hit her sometimes. But i can't say i can really grasp the idea.

Comments:
That is creepy.. Are you sure you weren't dancing for the groom? ;-)
 
Isn't it! Thank you for the validation, i needed it!
 
I think it's normal. I have seen it many times - it is regarded as a salute to the bride of some sort, unless there was something about the jestures that was way too creepy...

I always regard exaggerated displays of affection as a coverup. Maybe she is hiding something - hate, jeoulousy, sorrow for losing a friend in marriage - anything but true affection.
 
And what's with the signal from the bride that your performance is over? Sounds very medieval!
 
It may appear to be a bit too much but this type of dancing is acceptable to most women at weddings. The more comraderie shared between them the more sensual/provocative the dancing.

Actually, it is done as encouragement for the bride and as a show of appreciation- perhaps a show of how loved she is.

And sitting up there on the "koshah", the bride appreciates and expects it.
 
Dear Sheba,

Your account of the event has raised my eyebrows. I am surprised. But as any male...such displays are really interesting to hear about.

I have always found it a bit wierd that women would were the most revealing clothes at their weddings and "Shake it like a salt shaker". I think in the past ladies would were just dara3at. But nowadays we are talking stripper attire. (This is all hear-say..so don't hold me to it).

I think the whole notion of wearing revealing clothes and dancing amongst each other is a bit borderline. But hey...what do I know.

My last point is..why did you feel the need to augment your breasts..if you are in the presence of other women. (just a question..I am learning too ..don't get mad at me.)

Yours Sincerely,

Misguided 7ameth 7eloo El-blogawy
 
lol oh boy oh boy oh boy!

Zaydoun, very nice seeing you :)).

And although i did explain your point of inquiry last night, i will repeat for the sake of other readers (just in case any are interested): the cue to move away from the 'kosha' was from the girl i was dancing with, and not from the bride.

shosho, no, it was all normal, but i was a bit self conscious. Sheba IS shy i guess ;/

W, ya 7elwich :* But believe it or not, thats how many mothers/sisters pick out candidates for their ''virgin'' sons/brothers.

Jewaira Jewaira,
As always, you speak like an expert & i totally understand, bess i felt weird at it. Maybe its more fun as a 3aroosa (MUST try that) :p

Misguided,
I don't know why but i have a feeling that i have met you recently.

Now to your questions, umm why do ladies flaunt it at weddings? I think its A) to show off B) to show whats on offer to the mothers/sisters of prospective husbands (refer to my reply to W above) C) most of us can't wear our backless, red dresses, with a plunging neckline anywhere else. D) As to why i would 'augment' my breasts with a self adhesive silicon bra, thats because its invisible (i hate seeing straps, or any resemblance of undergarments--i feel its very umm slutty/vulgar)
 
Sheba
you must have looked stunning in your outfit ;)
and i agree visible straps/ slips are awful to look at . Same as panty lines and dark underwear under light pants.

Yes I sounded like an expert in my comment but you know I personally feel the same strangeness/ weirdness as you do. I feel the whole wedding party is an act/show but everyone else that I see seems to be enjoying themselves and very comfortable with all the display.

As for Misguided's comment on stripper attire, well, I certainly have seen a few outfits that have raised my eyebrows as well.(Ya7laylik Misguided)
 
Jewaira,

:)
 
LOL at el tahir. allah ekhaleeh wikhalli his products lina.

what would be an alternative to a boring wedding? reception?
i think receptions are more boring! hmmm
our weddings need a real change, but how? i don't know. but i definitely would hate the idea of walking alone along the hall. but if i made my hubby enter the wedding with me, only few women would dance. so how about saving the money spent on the wedding and enjoying a luxurious “around the world” honey moon trip?

i agree with Jewaira about the dancing thing.
 
Flamangoliya,

hehe bess i hate the guy who sits at the cashier, as courteous and polite as he is, its VERY embarrasing!

Msbaker,
Insha'Allah :p
 
edjamacated guy, your comments worry me!
