But I haven't seen those happening in Swat ('cause I haven't gone there in 12 years!), so who knows. I personally prefer the village styles described above. <br /><br />@ Anonymous: Thank you for your comment, and welcome to my blog :) <br /><br />You asked if it might qrratugaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986383116815099640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799144498932126167.post-78231883416060775222011-03-28T22:39:32.651-04:002011-03-28T22:39:32.651-04:00@ LuckyFatima:

What I described must be practiced only by a few villages close to each other. <br /><br />Hina, whose comment you see above, is from Peshawar, which is also a Pashtun city located a little over 100 miles from Swat (~160km). But many of my Peshawari friends have never heard of what I've described qrratugaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986383116815099640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799144498932126167.post-61571046637072548402011-03-28T22:26:50.149-04:002011-03-28T22:26:50.149-04:00Thank you, everyone, for your responses!

Our weddings are similar but we don't have a jahez, except where a family out of will wants to give certain comforts to their daughter if the husband doesn't/can't provide it. And shamo is called nakreezo shpa. And we give Hina Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01868369131353035058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799144498932126167.post-54772408890114764092011-03-28T16:44:41.524-04:002011-03-28T16:44:41.524-04:00WOW!

This sounds sooo much better than the traditional American way! The celebration is sooo enormous it seems. Is this because the value of marriage in that area is soo high? I guess I am comparing it to the American wedding and value of marriage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799144498932126167.post-78085191534690955372011-03-28T09:35:59.429-04:002011-03-28T09:35:59.429-04:00Salaamz, thanks for the report.

Who pays for the various wedding parties, by the way? And is there the concept of jahez? The whole event of a Yusufzai Swati wedding sounds lovely!
