Yes, we’re being pathetic

November 28, 2006 late at night
حضر أهل رشيد فريجي إلى الكنيسة في بلدة رعيت ـ قضاء زحلة، حيث كان من المقرر أن يقام حفل زفافه. وبعد وصول العروس مع أهلها والمدعوين، فوجئ والد العروس وأقاربه الذين ينتمون الى تيار موال لقوى الأكثرية بأن زينة الكنيسة يغلب عليها اللون البرتقالي. فقد تبيّن لأهل العروس بعد التحقيق أن والد العريس أراد ذلك تيمناً بالتيار الوطني الحرّ، ما أثار غضبهم. فترددوا في دخول الكنيسة، لكن تدخل الكهنة حلّ المشكلة وأقيمت مراسم الإكليل في أجواء متوترة. انتقل المحتفلون إلى صالة إحدى المقاهي في بلدة عنجر مكان إقامة حفلة العشاء بمشاركة المدعوين من الطرفين. لكن «المصيبة الكبرى» كانت تكمن هناك، إذ طغت الورود البرتقالية على ما عداها من ورود في الصالة. أبى أهل العروس دخول الصالة ما لم تزل جميع الورود، ولم تنفع مساعي «المصلحين» لتمرّ تلك الليلة على خير. وعند إصرار أهل العريس على عدم نزع فتيل الأزمة، أخذت الكراسي تتطاير في الهواء وبدأ العراك بالأيدي، بالإضافة إلى مجموعة من الشتائم من العيار الثقيل. ولم تنته المعركة إلا بعد حضور قوة من الجيش اللبناني. وقد نجح العريس بوضع العروس في سيارته، وتوجها إلى جهة مجهولة لقضاء شهر العسل، بعيداً عن صراعات ذويهم السياسية
A wedding celebration has ended in a fistfight between the families of the groom and the bride because of orange flower decorations, Al Akhbar newspaper reported Tuesday.
It said that when the bride’s parents arrived at the church in the town of Rhit in Zahleh, east of Lebanon, they were shocked to see the altar and benches decorated with orange flowers.

Orange is the symbol of Christian General Michel Aoun’s Free Patriotic Movement, a Hizbullah ally.

The newspaper said that that the groom’s father who is a supporter of Aoun wanted the decoration to represent his party’s color code.

It said the bride’s parents, who are followers of a movement that belongs to the anti-Syrian ruling majority, were angered by the daring move. The paper did not say to which group the bride’s parents belong.

It said priests worked hard to settle the dispute and church ceremonies went ahead regardless of the “tense climate.”

However, the “greatest catastrophe” was reported at the restaurant in the nearby town of Anjar where orange flowers dominated the scene, the newspaper said.

It said the bride’s parents, who hadn’t overcome their first chock, refused to enter the dinner hall.

It said fruitless mediations to reconcile the two families ended in a fistfight, where insults were traded and flying chairs were showered at each other, according to Al Akhbar.

The daily said army troops stepped in to disperse the crowd.

The story ended when the groom tucked his bride in a car and sped off to escape their parents’ political wrangling, it said.
