An Afghan-American Wedding at Queluz Palace, Portugal
Reed, from Texas, and Sueraya, a bride with Afghan roots, celebrated over two days near Lisbon: a welcome dinner on the cliffs at Forte da Crismina above Guincho beach, then a wedding at Queluz Palace that began with a Nikah by the Nereida Lake.
Dinner in the Throne Room, cake under sparklers in the Malta Garden, gifts and gold for the bride, and at midnight the Attan in front of the lit palace. Their wedding was published in British Vogue. We wrote down how the day unfolded and the Afghan traditions behind it.
