Man had agreed to marry woman based on photograph
An Egyptian groom ran away from his bride just after she arrived at a Saudi airport after he was shocked at how she looked.
The man had waited for hours at the airport to receive his bride whom he had married after seeing her photographs sent by his brother.
The Egyptian Arabic language daily Al Watan said the man in Saudi Arabia had agreed to marry the woman in the photograph.
“When she arrived at the airport in Saudi Arabia, the groom instantly ran away after seeing her face. Security men chased the man and caught him after thinking he had stolen something,” the paper said without naming the airport.
“But he told them that he was shocked by his bride’s appearance and that he no longer wanted to be with her. The bride later filed for a divorce and compensation.”
Please report to the white courtesy phone in terminal C.
Actually, the groom later said it wasn’t just Helen Thomas’ looks that made him run away, she’s also way too antisemitic for him.
She looks ravishing to me.
She wasn’t as pretty as his camel, I guess.
Send picture. Of boat and motor.
What’s not to like?
lol
And he ended by being friends with her.
Seriously, how ugly do you have to be to be ugly in a burka?
Yes, but he was polite to her, waited a decent interval to divorce her, and gave her a pension.
According to a contemporaneous memoir, when Anne wasn’t pregnant after several months, her doctor asked, “Does the king make love to you?” and Anne replied, “Oh, yes! At night before he goes to his room, he kisses my cheek and says, ‘Sleep well, dear,’ and in the morning, he kisses my hand and asks, ‘Did you have a good night, sweetheart?’ “
All this drama in a country where goat-humping is a national pasttime?We must be missing part of the story here.
He should have done what Bill and Barak did when faced with this situation: Take lots of hard drugs.
She was known as “The King’s Beloved Sister.”
Yup! :-)
“An Egyptian groom ran away from his bride just after she arrived at a Saudi airport after he was shocked at how she looked.”
Slow news day?
“the paper said without naming the airport”. Why.
A squid would call this scuttlebutt.
Is this made up?
This story sounds made up.
There could be very good common sense reasons the camel jockey guys want the camel jockey gals to wear the burka.
Helen Thomas’ sister?
