Ksar Char-Bagh, an exquisite palace in the Palmeraie district of Marrakech...
|
|
|
|
The library is reached by a circular staircase off the receiving room.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The central interior courtyard contains a reflecting pool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A small salon off the main hall served as an informal gathering place.
|
|
|
|
The swimming pool is surrounded by lush palms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our ceremony took place in a private alcove of the palace, with water flowing through the center and rose petals in abundance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A berber tent was erected on the grounds for our reception.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Following the ceremony, we were transported to the reception on camel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And received with rose petals!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We were entertained by musicians...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and acrobats...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and a snake charmer...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and a fire breather.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We had drinks in the parlor before dinner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And we had a wonderful celebratory meal in the grand salon...
|
|
|
|
|
with music...
|
|
|
|
|
and dancing...
