I was delighted when my friend invited me to a village wedding party in Yemen. This was only a few miles from the Red Sea in the Tihama. You will see the 2 grooms (wearing funny hats and chewing qat) and zero women or brides. The ladies had a separate party somewhere else. The plastic they were spreading on the ground was for the feast. The big tent and cushons were for people to just hang out. Look for the wedding singer with a cordless microphone. The guy shooting the big gun at the end was a body guard for a local sheik who showed up. Enjoy!

  • lol im from yemen and proud to be yemeni

    and this video dosent reflect yemen

  • @romancegland The wedding celebrations in the Tihama are quite different from the ones in the mountains. I have enjoyed all of the weddings I have been to in Yemen, including this one.

  • This is close to somalia,saudi arabia and its in the desert right?

  • It was across the Red Sea from Ethiopia. Near Hodeidah, Yemen.

  • u can rent pillows?, how awesome is that?

    shooting ak's straight up in the air when ur in a crowd is all fun&games untill the bullets come racing back down

  • Yeah, you can rent pillows, tents, benches and all... if you want to throw a big party. I must tellyou though, the pillows are sort of heavy and not so fluffy. If you notice, the guy at the end was shooting at an angle. They know of the risks and there are laws against shooting like this in the cities. This party was in the country.
