Baghdad - Naglaa Taa'y
The guests fired shots to celebrate the first wedding party in the Iraqi city of Mousl since the liberation of the northern side of the city from the grip of extremist ISIS group.
The Iraqi soldiers left their positions to participate in Jassim's wedding, while the men danced and shot the fire to be the first time for the city's resident to hear the sound of shots outside the scope of fighting for a long time.
The bride wore a beautiful embroidered dress like cendrella to restore this scene that was familiar in the city before ISIS control of the city in June 2014, as the extremist group banned the dance and forced the residents to subject to their strict rules.
One of the neighbours revealed that the wedding was planned for over a year, while they wait until the liberation of the city. He added, "Before two months, we were not be able to leave our houses. We celebrate not only the wedding of our friend but also the defeat of the extremist group."
The Iraqi women inside the cars wore modern, colored clothes, as they were singing in celebration for the first time since over two years. They were not allowed to leave their houses with black clothes covering their bodies from head to foot.
The city's residents said that the life was not affordable under ISIS rule, as they prevented music and dance. The tension escalated, they added, since the beginning of military operations to liberate the city in October.
The wedding party had been prepared after weeks of the city's liberation from the extremist group, while some women were keen not wear hijab despite the conservative nature of the Iraqi community
