I would have too, if some girls were dancing slutty to my husband.

Not silly...Of course the bride should be the princess of the day and look the most beautiful out of everyone.
Off topic, I would have been irritated too if some girls were dancing like that to my husband..And I'm swedish.

The prophet Muhammad (SAWS) was an arab. Don't talk BS.

wheres the "slutty" ... ( 5 days ago by gypsy5724)

wheres the "slutty" dancing? This dance is a tradition for the bride and groom. it makes them both a lil nervous before cutting the cake, and its sort of a small game of who finally gives the knife away to the new couple. Nothing slutty, Zofee.

Just to let you ... ( 5 days ago by IamfromPersia)

Just to let you know that your username means 'some thing which is worth being seen' in Persian!!! Does it mean anything particular in your language?

Nervous? It more ... ( 5 days ago by Zofee)

Nervous? It more looked like they were getting frustrated and bored, the bride looked a bit irritated too.
Maybe I'm more old-fashioned and modest than to have girls shaking their asses to my newly wedded husband. Oh well, I don't care what others do, I wouldn't do it :)

It doesn't mean ... ( 5 days ago by didani2125)

It doesn't mean anything particular in my language (it is only a nickname)and I've never expected that it could have such a beautiful meaning in your language. Thanks for letting me know. All the best!

it is very nice ... ( 5 days ago by atheerkibi)

it is very nice iranian tradition, I liked it and I did not know before that the iranian girls are so beautiful like that.

wow. Ive never seen ... ( 4 days ago by gypsy5724)

wow. Ive never seen someone so negative about soemthing so simple. Its really not a slutty thing, and if youd watch with open eyes ud see that. And as far as the "shaking in front of the husband" goes, the girls are dancing in front of and towards BOTH persons, not just the husband. As u can see they switch off. And just because the husband dances a lil and the girls go up to him a lil doesnt make them prostitutes or slutts. Even arabs have similar traditions, ok hon? Throw out ur jealousy.

And dont confuse ... ( 4 days ago by gypsy5724)

And dont confuse iranian dance w/ the western freak dances and with sensual belly dancers, ok? These girls are dancing very simple compared to others, and for u to judge them as slutty like that - really, get some mannerism.

I have a question.. ... ( 4 days ago by ammzy)

I have a question.. Are Iranian women allowed to dance in front of men at weddings?

haha, they dance ... ( 4 days ago by jeniferthegirl)

haha, they dance like all the time...

Lol. That's my ... ( 4 days ago by Zofee)

Lol. That's my opinion. I don't care what you think of it. And jealous? What exactly should I be jealous of? I don't care what others do on their weddings, I wouldn't have that on mine. I'm not juding them, I'm stating my opinion. bas khalas

is the bride ... ( 4 days ago by ghazalkar)

is the bride offering money to get back the knife? Is it a tradition? It is so wonderful to see so many beautiful ladies in a single wedding. Wow.

This video is soo ... ( 4 days ago by ammzy)

This video is soo cute!

well heres my ... ( 3 days ago by gypsy5724)

well heres my opinion about ur opinion, actually heres a fact: ur opinion is unnecessarily negative & highly unreasonable. Learn 2B fair before u call someone slutty. & yes, I said jealous because that is the way u seem to be proposing attitude towards these girls. This is an old custom/tradition that includes no room for slutts or anything close. If u dont agree with dancing in general, or mixing of men and women, then thats a different story. But even then, it is not ok to say what u did.

yes but may i ask u ... ( 3 days ago by sepidlove)
