Getting there...









After collecting all the papers that we needed we headed to the Adul in Oujda and he had enought time to quickly look through our papers to let us know that we were ready to start. Since it was a holiday, we could not do anyhting for the next couple of days so we took the opportunity to head down to figuig to celebrate Eid Almawled Ennabawi, or the birthday of the prophet Mohamed. THere was lots of drumming and dancing and people exploding things in the street. It was fun. After we just spend a couple of days wandering around Figuig and eating and we also met some Spanish tourists who were staying at Alis familys hotel and so I got to pratice some Spanish. We headed back to Oujda where we spent the next four days running around oujda getting our whole folder stamped and signed and authorized by too many different people. On Friday night we were in the aduls office and they brought in this 80 year old belgian who signed some papers as my father...not too sure about the replacement. Anyways since I didnt undersand Arabic, I had no idea til after at we were finally married...so we decided that we whould have a party...we were already planning a big wedding party in Morocco in the summer 2009...Inshallah. Start saving up your money. Then we decided that we wanted a celebration now since it was kinda anti-climatic getting married without a party. So we started planning a small one just with ALis family in Oujda for April 21st. But then we stopped cause we had to meet NAt and DAvid my friends from MAdrid, in Meknes, so we took the bus to Meknes...
