They were married on January 25, 2003, in Lebanon.   Here is the 2004 Dress of the Year's description as told by the bride:</font></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><span class="copy">"My gown was designed by the most famous and luxurious designer in Lebanon - <A HREF="http://www.mireilledagher.com" target="_blank">Mireille Dagher</A>.  It was one of the most expensive dresses she's made.<BR><BR>

The dress was named '<I>thunder</I>' because it was snow white and full of blinking bright stars in the shape of a thunder bolt from the top to the bottom.  The dress featured a small, classy tail that could be lifted with hooks at the back to create a new shape, or in case I wanted to dance. There was also a feather scarf especially designed for me since our wedding took place during a cold month."</font></P>
