Your girlfriend will be the principal assistant in the wedding of the daughter of your boss next week. Like the bride, she as excited about the forthcoming event, and for the last three weeks she has been talking with you about the coming ceremony everyday, as if there was nothing else to talk about. You now realize that if she is not the one getting married yet your girlfriend is already in heaven – what more if she were the one herself to tie the knot with you later?

She has been egging you to prepare your digital camera for the occasion, as she would like to have as many pictures taken of her participation in the rites, which she says she will be emailing to her mom and dad now on assignment in the country's embassy in the UAE. Her dad works with the Foreign Service and is quite excited to learn that you are marrying his daughter in a year's time. Your girlfriend has been kidding you that her march down the bridal aisle next week as maid of honor for the boss' daughter is her practice march for next year as the your own bride. In fact, you have done your preliminary web browsing with her on what wedding photography firm you will hire when you and your girlfriend say your marriage vows next year.

This year however you will just be playing the role of one of the camera operators of the wedding photography team covering the wedding next week. Of course, you will be doing that task as an independent photographer, more focused on taking pictures of your girlfriend than on anybody else in the wedding entourage. You are determined to take the best shots of her, as you are aware that your future father-in-law who is now in Dubai will be eagerly looking at them. Her daughter has promised him a full electronic album of the pictures that you will take of her during the rites. You would want to show him your skills with the camera. His daughter has told you before that her dad is also a camera bug.

Your girlfriend is quite a beauty, with her mixed American-Arabian blood. Her mother is of Arabian blood, whom her dad married years ago when both of them had assignments with their respective embassies in an Asian country. Her mom was a beauty in the Arabian embassy then, making her dad fell for her the first time they met.

Now you are marrying the daughter of their union, a stunning woman of American-Arabian descent. You intend to have the best wedding photography coverage next year for your marriage rites with her next year, as both of you would want it recorded with the best facilities. Your taking of her pictures next week will certainly be a preview of what will happen when she marches down the aisle with you on your own wedding in less than a year.
