Confessions of a Real Bride: Hala Diwaneh
Hala Diwaneh and Rami Shnoudi got married in May 2012 in Amman.
- When was the wedding held and where?
We had a church wedding on 25 May 2012 at the Orthodox Church in Sweifieh, Amman followed by an evening reception at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Amman.
- Did you hire a wedding planner or planned your wedding yourself? How was your experience?
We did not hire a wedding planner actually, we like doing things on our own. We knew the florist, the photographer and the DJ. At the Grand Hyatt, Rand Aranki helped us in the wedding program and the design of the cake.
You might also be surprised to know that I did the design of my 3-meter long veil.

Mainly pink was dominant. I love pink.
