This weekend, Lebanese designer Elie Saab’s son got married in a stunning three-day ceremony already being dubbed as Lebanon’s royal wedding.
Elie Saab Jr. and Christina Mourad tied the knot on Friday in a Maronite ceremony just northeast of Beirut at the Church of Bkerke, followed by a reception held at the exclusive Faqra club.
Many celebrities were in attendance, including supermodel Sara Sampaio and influencer Nadine Labaki. Legendary Lebanese singers Nancy Ajram and Elissa serenaded the newlyweds.
