Tradition
One of the most exciting traditions in a Druze Lebanese wedding is "Jalab El Arous" - where the groom drives with his closest family and a zaffe (traditional music and dance procession) to the bride's house to escort her back to the groom's village. There, people come by, and pay their respects to the new couple and their family.
