"...It is simply love and an accord of taste," we answer those who wondered, and went on wondering, about the nature of this marriage with which the young Deputy Ghassan Tueni, editor-in-chief of al-Nahar, surprised Lebanon — to the refined young lady Nadia Hamadeh, daughter of Lebanon's Minister Plenipotentiary in Athens.

...No, it was not the standing of the

bride's father, nor her fortune, that Ghassan sought — in Lebanon he has plenty of that before his eyes and within his hands! One glance at the bride and groom is enough to verify how deep the harmony is between them, and that love alone joined their two young hearts. And it is natural that the pampered young lady Nadia Hamadeh should find in Ghassan Tueni the prince of her dreams — witness that she consented to have her marriage contracted according to his religion. His Grace the Metropolitan of Athens blessed the crowning — and afterward the newlyweds flew to Beirut, where family and friends gathered around them in the great shared joy —

So The Woman's Voice raises to its friend Ghassan Tueni and to his sweet wife its warmest congratulations, and its wishes for a life overflowing with happiness and comfort.
