After champagne, canapés and speeches, local performers in traditional costume hoisted the newlyweds onto palanquins to carry them to the wedding feast, amid a cacophony of singing, fanfare and the playing of an array of Berber musical instruments. We followed them through the olive groves to a beautiful candle-lit table, set for 130 guests and stretching for what seemed like miles. There were over 1,000 twinkling candles, colourful vases of pink and orange roses, and huge glass lanterns hanging from the trees.
