I am praying that this never catches on here in Kuwait. (YouTube)

Jennifer Page, a former producer for the BBC, runs 4 Life Films, a wedding video production company that specializes in novelty wedding videos, dubbed Marryoke. The videos are elaborate productions in which the bride and groom (the wedding party fills out the supporting cast) take staring roles in short musical films. In the video above, Andrew Coates and his wife Caroline dance through the streets and lip sync to "That's How You Know" from Disney's Movie 'Enchanted'.

The Palm Villas






I never thought it would turn out this nice (BTW, this actual villa was not fully completed yet)... But wooow, The Palm Villas are something else!!! I visited a villa of a friend of mine a month ago and the view and aura of the place just got to me. It's like being at the shalaih all week long (minus the loud jet-skis and bikes). I LOVE IT!!!
