(bring up natsof)
as well as falangist founder member pierre gemayel, also present was the groom's uncle amine gemayel. he's another right wing politician and deputy for the metu nord.
although the occasion was essentially a happy one, politics did intrude once, when the bridegroom prayed in front of the altar for the souls of friends killed in the civil war. then he prayed for patience from the mothers of lebanon.
but then politics were forgotten as the couple completed their vows to become man and wife.
