Bride­-to­-be Noor Tagouri eats dinner with the help of her sister Yuser during her henna party, a Libyan pre­-wedding event exclusively for the bride and female friends and family that features special dances and a henna ceremony. Tagouri wears an ornate outfit called Al Badla Al Kabeera ("the big outfit") whose stiff embroidered fabric doesn't allow her to bend her arms; she donned the outfit with the help of her grandmothers as is tradition.
