Majed's family threw us a welcome home reception in Birmingham when we returned from our honeymoon. I think we had nearly 300 guests. It was a great time! Majed's family is Arabic so there was lots of singing and dancing -- my family actually LOVED it! I'm still working on getting those hip movements down, myself. Everyone said, "Mabrook", which means "Congratulations" in Arabic. Another popular well-wish was that we have lots and lots of children, although I can't remember how to say that in Arabic!
