English: Photograph of Jewish wedding party in Aleppo, in 1914 by the Armenian photographer Derounian. Men, women, and children, are all dressed in European fashion, except for one Fez wearing family member. Dr Alex Russell, M.D. attended many weddings in Aleppo in the 18th. century during his long residence there , and made the following observation during a Jewish wedding, " The bride is seated in an open arm-chair, in the middle of the open Divan, or Alcove, with three enormous painted wax tapers burning before her. She is covered with a red gauze veil, through which her face and dress are plainly enough discernable. She is richly dressed in Venetian silks, and besides the usual jewels of gold, she is adorned with precious stones, and a profusion of pearls. " THE NATURAL HISTORY OF ALEPPO 1794 LONDON.
