C'est vrai qu'en Orient on voit souvent les choses en grand, et les mariages notamment, sont vraiment des moments très festifs, de joie et de bonheur partagés.

A great feast is altogether appropriate. In the Episcopal (Anglican) Liturgy everyone there takes a solemn vow to support this couple in their marriage. It is a recognition that marriage is in the context of a larger community and that our marriages need the undergirding and support of that community. Before World War II, community could be assumed, but since then in our highly mobile society, community has to be intentional and created. (The loss of community is one of the great tragedies of America.)

@john4jack: The enjoyment to share the happiness of one of the members of the community but also the solidarity are still present in the Moroccan society but the world changes fast ! I remember as well in my childhood in Brittany as all the community met to celebrate one of its members ! Thank you very much Jack !
