One of the most interesting part of being in the wedding business, is knowing that each wedding is quite different from any others. Recently, after the cocktail hour with our saxophonist playing romantic hits, we had a great insight to a traditional Egyptian custom of guiding the couple through the guests to the dining room for the feast. 4 men with red caps used long thick sticks to keep the beat and a strong drummer made exciting rhythms making it all to get everyone clapping.
