The bride sits on a stage covered in embroidered garments and wears the "Naqafat" on their shoulders as they march in the ceremony's courtyard to the beat of Andalusian music and crafts, which is known as the "session." While the bride roams in "Al-Amariya" and the guests' necks crouch to see her, the celebration continues in the hearts of the attendees till the early hours of the morning, to the rhythm of music and dancing. Prior to that, the newlyweds' home will be the prize.
The bride's relatives pay a visit to their daughter at the marital house the next morning, bringing a lovely meal for the newlyweds (morning breakfast). In response, the groom invites the bride's family to lunch on the same day as a token of his joy at the arrival of a new family member and the beginning of a new life. After a week has passed since the newlyweds embraced the marital nest, they host a "belt" evening in honor of those close to them, during which the bride's belt is tightened as she prepares the first meal of her married life, symbolizing that she has made up her mind and is ready for her new situation.
The particular elements of the wedding vary depending on the area and financial limitations of each family, but the true customs remain the same, given the importance of the event in Moroccan society, which is sometimes expressed as a proverb, "a night-time marriage is a general one."
