Bridal Shower

Today I went to a lovely Moroccan bridal hammam.

I suppose you could call it a literal bridal shower. My sweet friend Oumaima organized it and my friends from my study abroad program came. We went to the traditional Moroccan hammams (read this post to get a more detailed description). Apparently, the celebration of traditional Moroccan weddings begin the day before with the bride and her female friends and family going to the hammam and making sure her skin is soft and beautiful before her wedding day.

Unfortunately, my wedding is still a little more than a month away, so this hammam visit won't serve that purpose, but it was lovely spending time with friends celebrating here.

I received lovely gifts and it was fun sharing the joy and excitement of this upcoming stage with my friends here :)
