Kareem and Kat at Hena Party


The hena party is held two days before the wedding. Women attend the festive party... dance, sing, eat and "get down." A platter of hena, flowers and candles adorn the table. Everybody gets a little ball of hena on their hand for health, happiness and peace. Karl and Kat each got paper currency wrapped around a coin and hena. They throw this and whoever catches it is the recipient of good health and happiness. My height gave me an advantage... good health and happiness for MOI! Here are some pics from the party. Denise and I are TRYING to learn the intricate movements of Persian dancing...
