Which would you choose and why? So far, in the in the 5 Somali weddings I've attended in the past 5 years, only one girl had on traditional somali dress. The rest choose to wear the white wedding dress. I just find it odd to wear the white dress when all of your guests are wearing dirac. Anyone else feel that way?

 

I also wanted to know whether there was a somali wedding dress. I don't think I've ever seen it or heard of it. Some people wear white dirac or guntino but is there a specific 'dress' only for a bride?

I am not sure if men can answer the question, but I would choose neither the traditional nor the Western. Instead, I would choose the Islamic wedding which entails a simple wedding with a fantastic qado (preferably at a mosque), one that includes reading the Qur'an and making dua', one that excludes music, dancing or partying, one that complies with the teachings of Islam. I am sure there are many sisters who wouldn't mind a husband who insists on an Islamic wedding.

Well, the question isn't clear, plus the topic contains a picture of a man. If the poster had clearly stated the question is only for women, then I would stay out.

I would pick the traditional wedding dress at any day . I think It's prettier.

[Buuxo]

i would prefer the guntiino or the dirac, the layered one makes you look fat.

Diinku Wax ma Jiidho. Its a light, and straight path. . Sheekhu Jaranjaro ayuu kasoo dhacay . However, If I was the Odaygii aroosanayay. I would not have chosen the dress of the man. Coz, the Spear shows a man at a battle feild not the wedding day . Aroosada iyo hooyadeed ayaaba iga carari lahaa. Waamaxay dad qalkan inanta Waranka la ag taagan

[Buuxo]

hunguri, i actually think the guys dress is quite appropriate , since its hidiy dhaqan, it doesnt make him look like he is at a battle field, but a prepared man to protect his womenfolk.

[Hunguri]

Im sure, Somali women are more like men lately. And, dont need no protection . I thought, men used to have a knife along with the white sheets. The Spear at weddings is something new to me !

[Buuxo]

OMG , a knife in the bed, my gosh i would be very very afraid.what if he just turns on her and kills her.

[Hunguri]

looooooooool@ Buuxo. They call it romance dee !! What Can I say !.

 

PS:-

 

No, the knife will go along with his belt. When dismentling his sheets . Dont be afraid of nothing. Never, will he go to bed with the knife lool

[Buuxo]

*sighs** good to hear the knife is not in the bed. it shouldnt even be in the same room.but i guess them days they didnt have more then 1 aqal somali ah/boool

[Hunguri]

Yeah Aqqal Somali!, that was where most of us were born.

 

PS:-

 

I will have one at my villa in the future. I will have one aqqal Somali, where only me and my wife will always have a closed doors conference . We dont wanna be bothered at our aqqal Somali. Aqqal Somali made of (Caws,Dhigo,Udubyo,Kabad,Hagoog,Dhaffar ETC)

Have a look at this picture. They are sitting on a Massala or Salli. And, the little,black jug shaped container on the right side of the big girl, is called "Dhiil".
