woooow first congratulations
i really dont know that much about the traditions i only know how to act with a moroccan girl as a boyfriend not a husband …
for the first part of ur questions ( what u must do and musnt do … ) : duuuude all this depends on ur wife … and i think u already know what she likes and what she hates since ur married with her
and my advice to u … be urself .
about the moroccan fests : there is the eid sghir ( just after ramadan ) , the eid kbir ( its in the 28th or 29th november … not sure about it ) and the new year , her birthday , valentines day …
in the two first eids, i dont think u need to give her a gift … but yes u must buy sth for the family , dunno if ur muslim or not ( generally u r since ur married ) but in the eid kbir u must buy a sheep …
well in those religious fests , i think ur gonna spend them with her family , so its better to ask ur wife what her mom needs to prepare the food since a fest in morocco = food
another thing , ur wife will need to wear a traditional clothes … normally moroccan women change the a lot … they r quite expensive but they make them sooooo happy … so take her to buy one
also GOLD , its so important to buy her some gold … coz the women in morocco like to put in a lot of gold in marriages and fests … ( maybe ur wife is an exception coz i met a lot of women who hate this tradition )
euuuh what else … yeah , dont go to her families house with empty hands always bring sth ( and thats depends of their situation … ) normally ppl bring some meat , or fruits , or if they have children u only bring yogurts and cookies to them … u know … and the best thing is to ask ur wife , she knows her family better than us
i know u wanna surprise her with this … i find it a great idea , but dont worry if u dont know a tradition we will teach u all here in the forum
wow wow wow a traditional wedding in morocco haahahahahaha duuuude im sorry for u … do u have enough money or we can gather money from the forum members ahahahha J/K
i cant answer u … traditions in morocco differs from region to region … but u can go to a ‘’ Traiteur ‘’ or ‘’ negafa ‘’ and he or she will do all the job and give u advices ( btw if u tell me where r u goin to do the weddings maybe i can help u , i know a negafa … and she speaks in english )
and generally the man does nothin in a moroccan wedding he only gives money … everythin will do it ur wife and ur in-laws … so take it easy man .
any other questions ???
The “money” joke make me afraid! :blink:
I am joking :^^:
Chukran bzaf, you gave me good tips
Bslama!
looooollll ur welcome

Wa 3likom ssalam,
Let met try to attempt answering some of your questions, based on assumptions mainly since we don’t know in what city your wife is from and other details.
Since you’re not Morocco, be sure that your in-laws perfectly understand that you won’t be aware of all Moroccan traditions. So any mistake you make, or anything you forget, is no big deal.
TO DO LIST - (Take them in the order of: should do, better to do, okay to do)
- Contribute financially in the wedding. For example for buying the sheep, I don’t imagine you going around looking for a sheep :P, the in-laws will do a better job in that.
- Buy gifts for the bride. Basically, on the wedding’s day, the groom’s family takes “dfou3” which includes the sheep or whatever animal that will provide the meat (check the pictures above). But dfou3 also contains all white cloths and accessories for the bride: White takchita, white babouches, white purses, white shoes, hum… what else… Oh, why not go shopping with her? She chooses, you pay
- Buy the engagement ring and jewelery. Did you already have an engagement party prior to the marriage contract in the tribunal?
NOT-DO LIST -
- Disappear on the wedding day.
- Bring in guests without warning the in-laws. They should plan the quantity of food and seats, so you should tell them who you are inviting.
- Forget to smile.
For your question about fests, you don’t have to do anything for the in-laws, if that’s what you meant by family. You will have your own family to take care of. But as mad said, whenever visiting someone in Morocco, be it in-laws, friend, neighbors, it’s always nice to take something with you.
If you’re not getting married before Eid Al Adha (l3id lekbir) this year, which will be on 27th of this month, I don’t see why you should be buying a sheep. Save up buddy, you have a traditional Moroccan wedding to handle :D.
Later on, the feast at the end of Ramadan, and al adha feast (40 days after the end of Ramadan) are the most important religious ones. In the first, buy your wife something nice to wear, in the second buy a sheep (but if you live in Italy, I am not sure you can slaughter it by yourself :P), and buy her something nice to wear. Oh, when you’ll have kids, they’ll expect you to buy them cloths too :D.
Now it’s your turn to answer a question:
Will it be a family-home wedding? Or will it be in a hotel hall or weddings hall?
Based on which we can probably help you out more.
I am not sure I covered everything.
Any questions?
take what doudi said she is a woman and she knows better
but doudi , u said If you’re not getting married before Eid Al Adha (l3id lekbir) this year, which will be on 27th of this month, I don’t see why you should be buying a sheep. Save up buddy, you have a traditional Moroccan wedding to handle
u know that the sheep of dfou3 is just a symbole … so i think he must bring it anyway … i know he will need more than one sheep for the wedding u know the last fashion ‘’ a half sheep per table ‘’ … i attended a wedding the last summer and the families were really poors … when it was the diner time everybody was shocked … duuude a half sheep per table thats so exagerated :S then a woman said that this is the fashion everybody does this …
poor men we suffer a lot in weddings … duuuuuude why moroccan girls r that special grrrrrrrrrrr i love them

I meant that he shouldn’t buy the 3id’s sheep, the dfou3’s is enough.
What I hate about Moroccan weddings is exactly those stupid imitations, people are trying to make the best wedding out there, and they keep themselves financially disabled for years. Half sheep per table and throw the leftovers away? That’s like if the weddings are all about eating only and showing off food.
Chuckran sa7bi,
We will celebrate the l3id kbir here in Italy, we already seem to have found the sheep and who is going to make it in parts after the islamic ritual.
And yes, answering to a previous question, I converted to Islam more than a year ago
You both gave me a clear idea of what is expected mainly from me.
And if I undrstood well, [color=#FC0C02][large]money[/large][/color] is the most important thing! :dance:
Now, what I wish to know is a “model” of good attitude of a married maroccan husband.
I know it is roughly broad as request, but I would like to understand which mistakes I have not to do and what could hurt her sensibility.
To do this you have to be familiar with the occidental mentality and recognize the differences between my original culture and yours; I tell this to you because you can surely avoid to say me things which are totally elementar and clear for you but for me :unsure:
marra akhra chuckran bzaf! :^^:
duuuuude wellah la mm remark kandirha chak foi … d problem is just after finishing the diner we were like : machi makla kant me7rou9a chwya , machi djaj kan male7 hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
lmgharba 3alaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
looooll now u’ll need doudi to help u … what hurts ur sensibility a doudi ??? apart from my language hhhhh
