Jordan Royal Wedding, Prince Hussein and Rajwa Aal Saif - Etiquette Review | Jamila Musayeva
In this video, I am analyzing the royal wedding of Jordanian monarchy - the Crown Prince Hussein and Rajwa Al Saif. These royal weddings have a lot of etiquette rules around them because of the diplomatic protocols in place but over time a lot of these rules have become more relaxed, particularly those around fashion and dress codes. This is one of my favorite royal families to watch and I deeply admire Queen Rania.

Let me know what your thoughts are and what are some wedding rules in your country.

Sincerely,
Jamila

In Jordan we are also Arab and yes it's okay to wear black in Arabic weddings because Muslim Arab and Muslims in general don't associate colours with bad meanings

In the Middle East, we usually like to wear black at weddings and other parties, but the bride is required not to wear black, but the guests are very normal. Frankly, I was surprised that some people consider it immoral.

This was such a fun watch. I usually wear black to weddings in the US since it feels very classy, although the one time I purposefully avoided it was because the bride was wearing black! Nontraditional for sure, but absolutely stunning!!

12:38 my "problem" with that dress is not the color but the material. it seems to be some kind of jersey material, and jersey is not something to wear to formal events (not only weddings but also to the opera, for example). personally, i would only wear a jersey dress to the beach or other very casual settings (to the mall, for example) - not at the office, not for visiting museums, not for going to upscale restaurants (very casual restaurants or beach clubs are acceptable though), etc.

for future videos, if you want to discuss dressing etiquette for specific events, i think it would be helpful to also address materials and cuts/designs, not only color, as all three aspects together are important when deciding if something is appropriate or not 😁

I really love and enjoy watching your etiquette vids❤

Well, in Europe black is not really colour for wedding.. You can wear it with some accessories or something like that, but better avoid it if you can..

I think the not wearing black rule is because people usually wear black to funerals to mourn. Some people take offense if your wearing black because they think your mourning the marriage and it celebrating. Mother in laws sometimes do this when they don’t approve of the marriage.

Such a beautiful and thorough explanation. ❤❤❤ always look forward to your videos. Interestingly the lalala sound is made by women in India at the start of any auspicious ceremony or festivals typically in front of temples.

Thank you for the interesting insight, Jamila. It's a pleasure learning from you.
Acknowledging that dress code as a part of etiquette is not only based on tradition, but also on formal aspect of propriety and decorum, it's also obvious that it's susceptible to changes as we move to more liberal and casual times when it comes to obeying rigid rules which don't fit into contemporary zeitgeist any longer.
My personal take on wearing black as a wedding guest would be rather traditional, unless it's required by dressing code. Color spectrum offers so many shades to chose from, including dark shades of many other colors, apart from black. Queen Rania wasn't wearing fully black dress, it was two toned one. Even fully black dress can be acceptable, from my personal point of view, if it's obviously a cocktail one. However, Ms Biden's dress was something that can safely pass as a mourning dress, suitable for funerals as well, so I consider it to be inappropriate for wedding celebration. It's a matter of nuance in many cases. If one is unsure, it's better to stay on a safe side and opt for any other dark shade or to incorporate accessories that will give an outfit festive vibe.
There is no way to comment your personal choices on your friend's wedding without being rude, as we don't know the particulars. However, unless it was informal wedding party (surroundings on your photos suggest that it may have been), I'd opt for different outfit all together, especially shoe style.

In France it would frowned upon to wear black. Although if guests are changing for an evening reception after the ceremony, then it would be ok to wear a black dress at that time. I think wearing black to a religious ceremony is too reminiscent of funerals for most people so it is avoided for the ceremony. But it may certainly differ in other cultures and religions!

In india, guests are opened.to wear black in weddings....even groom can wear black but bride are not considered to be in black

[renujayajaya]

Black is not worn in some Asian countries. It’s considered a moaning color, so that’s maybe the reason some people questioned it:)

Interpretation of the matter: We in the Middle East or the free people of the world feel sad in the life of Palestinians and the suffering of Gaza because of the Zionist Jews. Therefore, you attended a Jewish wedding in black, meaning that we are the cause, not Israel. Therefore, you must be frank in your position towards the innocent Palestinians.

Thank you so much Jamila first for doing a video on their wedding (I really adore this couple) and secondly for posting it on Youtube, I thought you would let it accessible to your Patreon followers only :)

Thank you 🙏 for this video. I enjoy learning about etiquette around the world. Queen Rania and Princess Rajwa looked stunning and elegant. I loved 🥰 the Elie Saab bridal gown.

In Italy you shouldn’t wear white, black, red and purple as a guest on a wedding. Last year I was at a Turkish wedding and was so surprised that a lot (even the mom of the bride) wore black and found it so beautiful. It’s so true if men can wear black then also women should. :-)
Loved this video with the explanation!! :-)

[clementinabusayo]

The thoroughness of this video 📸 and your capacity to distill the nuances of the guests to the tiniest detail is highly commendable

And yes with you I have learnt that there is nothing wrong with a black dress

Thank you Jamila for always coming through with these etiquette lessons #verydemure ❤
