The Cupid Struck at Tahrir Square, Egypt

I could not help but grinned widely as I look at a picture of a couple tying the knot at Tahrir Square, Egypt as appeared in NST @ 10 February 2011.

The caption reported that Abdullah Al Qadi and Sonia Al Beali were celebrating with other protesters after tying the knot at the said Square. They apparently met for the first time last week while demonstrating against the regime of Hosni Mubarak and the rest is - as they said - is history. So far, it is reported that four couples have got married at the Square.

This is awesome and quite 'mind boggling" ... This only leads to several inferences, one of which is that the protest is a protest full of love, peace and passion!!!. In fact, the protesters - as reported in the news - are encouraged to bring with them flowers and encourage to "hug a soldier" at every possible opportunity ...

I supposed perhaps Abdullah Al Qadi gave the flower to Sonia on the day they first met and that made it easier for the Cupid to "strike" ....

To those couples: "Selamat Pengantin Baru!!"
