lasagna!

I wish I had some idea!! :) but if I want to be honest, I'm really still trying to figure it out ...

A lot! I would say first, though, that there's no monolithic "Muslim wedding tradition" - there are as many different traditions as there are cultures and levels of religious practice. But in general - depending on the culture, there may be one or more ceremonies in the days before the wedding, usually centered around preparing the bride for marriage. The wedding itself may or may not be gender-segregated; the bride may or may not give her father permission (publicly) to say her vows by proxy; if she makes an entrance beforehand it's likely with a bevy of family members or friends, rahter than just walking dien the aisle on her dad's arm, and there is a sermon usually before or after the vows, and no first kiss, and mostly no dance either... In some culture's the couple's leavetaking at the end is very emotional, as the bride is leaving her family for her husband, etc etc... Hope this helps!

The challenge, the beauty of place, people and things, the honesty of emotion, the chance to use awesometastic photography equipment I would never otherwise have a chance to touch!

probably amina thai in rockville, md. some of the best thai food i've ever had, i can eat everything on the menu, i know the owner, and i can't really cook thai at home that well.

somebody who finds me to be their ideal photographer :) plenty of other variables i'm really flexible on, but the relationship works best when we want the same kinds of things... kind of like marriage haha...

gives me a reason to do it... and a perpetual though difficult subject... but very little time :) (since i stay home with him)

there would be two of me, because one would want to spend the whole day playing with my son, and the other would want to spend the whole day shooting with a dream lens setup on a 5dmkII in some fantastic location with friends. fit hiking in there somewhere. ideally this is all taking place in the scottish highlands... or western ireland. either way, though, i'd come home and cook a gourmet dinner with friends too. then, since it's my perfect day, my son would go to sleep EARLY and i'd be able to go out to a movie. OR rent a movie and watch at home over dessert and tea. then fall asleep reading a book and sleep at least nine hours uninterrupted...

ummm... probably losing my kid, but on a more philosophical level, dying without fulfilling my potential as a human being and leaving some kind of positive, meaningful legacy?
