Oh boy, Nicole can eventually buy vegetables! 

How heavy are rutabagas?

[greekmom]

I wonder if those kids know of their beautiful Chinese heritage or has that ass of Llama's brother stamped that out and it's all about the Egyptian/Muslim culture/faith.

[magemaud]

Nicole needs to get the men’s approval to rest? 

[Pepper Mostly]

"No need for outside friends" Yikes.

Seconds ago she said she liked to be alone and didn't have a lot of friends. Now she's saying she wants to go out and be social and make friends. I'm getting whiplash. 

[charmed1]

Nicole became full from eating a potato chip.

She may be Muslim. I speculated in another thread that she may be a Ouiger (spelling?).

[Auntie Anxiety]

My Magic 🎱 says that Nicole and Mahmoud are doomed.

I got a skirt, blouse, bolero vest ensemble at Loehmann’s, bought the hat at a store across from Jordan Marsh in Boston and we had the wedding at the Hillel House where we went to college.

My cousin and his first wife got married at Marsh Chapel at Boston University, where they met. I thought that was sweet.

I got married in a white cotton peasant dress I found for $75 in Filene's Basement. I found shoes for $20 there too. Borrowed a hat from a friend and wore crocheted white gloves I found for something like $5. Of course, I had a shoestring hippie wedding at my parents house. 

Damn, @Pepper Mostly, you continue to be my extreme hero. 

[Zombness]

Nicole should get out of there faaast.

I got my shoes off eBay for 20 bucks, I wanted to get my tiara and veil elsewhere for cheaper but my parents insisted…they are normally super thrifty and lived on a limited budget but they were so excited they wanted to gift me the wedding outfit. It was still much cheaper than a upper scale salon, we drove quite far out of town to shop as my city is expensive.

Nothing wrong with how Nicole is interacting with the family here, it's pretty much how a foreign visitor or someone working in Egypt would experience being a guest in a home. But in no way does she seem like she would want or could handle living 'the village life' in this way as a wife in the family, she has the 'can't wait to get back to my hotel room' expression…

Hat? Was there supposed to be a hat?

[Zombness]

Nicole would have fare better if she had looked in the Scandinavian countries.  That is were she would fit best.

We have now seen a person actually try to eat one potato chip.

How isolating to only be around the family.

It makes it easier to control the women.

Uighur. Possible, but she looks Han Chinese. The Uighurs are Turkic people originally from Central Asia and don't look Chinese per se. They look more like Kazaks or Uzbeks or Tajiks.

Butbutbut, this all happened by accident! Their eyes met in a fabric store! She was on a personal spiritual cleansing journey!

I would too. That's a lot of people all together right there, and no woman can go out alone? At least she could meet different people than that bunch.

Yea I’d pretend to go to the bathroom, jump out the window and get a cab to the airport.

Fatima speaks Chinese (Mandarin?), Arabic and English.

[kacesq]

That hair style…my God what decade is that from?

[sainte-chapelle]

Is that a Turkey purse?

She’d look a lot younger with a different hairdo!

More @Pepper Mostlybrilliance!

[Frozendiva]

I would be hard pressed to find a 24 year old who loves me unconditionally. He’s gotta have a motive.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Debbie: I don’t want my son to think that I’m just dropping everything and moving to Morocco.

Me: Well isn’t that what you’re doing?

[Doublemint]

The lawyer's got the same hairstyle!

[kacesq]

Digging the Home Goods Law Firm letters…

[Hotel Snarker]

Mahmoud’s family looks nice and friendly but they can’t wait for her to do like the Asian girl. Misogyny makes me sick. Men that are okay with their wives being inside the house with no social life while they go to the markets and prey on tourist women. For having been to Morocco and Egypt, I have seen this first hand. Tourist women are harassed even when covered. Harassed like kissed, touched, lured in dead end street. It’s hell. But their women stay home and are obedient.

[CrazyInAlabama]

I think it's a Peacock Purse.   It does look kind of like a blue turkey though. 

Nicole's Egyptian family certainly welcomed her warmly.

[greekmom]

At least lawyer stated that the prenup only counts in Georgia.

[Zombness]

I don't think Mohammed will marry Debbie at all, not even for her money.

It looks like 2 wigs, cut up and sewn together to make one creaaaaative, arrrrrrrtistic style.

[Pepper Mostly]

Why not adopt him? Snerk.

[charmed1]

Is this the obligatory immigration attorney scene? I wasn’t expecting this until much later.

[Frozendiva]

Love has landed in her lap? Yeah, Immigration would be suspicious of a 24 year old man marrying a senior citizen.

[kacesq]

Oh FFS… no one thinks they’re “typical” we all think we’re special and unique…

[mmecorday]

Granny Crazy Pants and I have the same glasses. Oy.
