The Weddings Weekends!

It is not surprising to experience such kind of traffic during the short summer season in Lebanon. It's not the traditional roads' traffic that we see all over Lebanon but the accumulation of wedding ceremonies through all the weekends' days; from Friday till Sunday.
Even thoguh i still not hold the complete responsibility of not attending any wedding invitation, but i cant jump over the traditions that we have here. If an invitation arrives, then we have to attend. Otherwise, we will face numerous bunch of people bashing; analyising the reason behind the abscence, noting that we are politically responsible to satisfy everyone's demands. We are in the limbo; on the edge of a knife; What can we do? I really don't know;

For example, today we are invited to three weddings nearly all happen at the same time. In addition to that, my father is invited to gathering lunch at one place, the opening ofa sporting Gym, and to a Lecture meeting about "Recycling Solid Wastes". Also, all happen to be taking place at the same time. Between weddings and public service meetings, I prefer public interest calls, but socially, weddings are not to be postponed and neglected.What can we do is either never attend anything, or take a slicer and start slicing ourselves in order to send each part to a direction to avoid criticism and powerful tongues.

Any one in my and our place, what can he/she do?
Its our culture and traditions, and we should never try to jump over them since it is still under social seige.

As to me, i will attend, and enjoy the weddings' arabic sweets and Chocolate brands that I have never heard of.
