| Wedding Ritual Stuff |
| A Dallooka is the drum used when girls sing |
| A "hug" is a decorated container where women put dry perfumes and bakhoor |
| A Sudanese woman doesn't regularly wear henna until she gets married. Before the wedding day, the bride's female family members hold a party called a "Henna". This is when they decorate her hands and feet with henna for the first time, sing, dance and have alot of fun! But, it's an all-girls party- no boys allowed!
