Elie Saab brings global spotlight to Lebanon with son's stunning wedding in Faqra
Report by Petra Abou Haydar, English adaptation by Karine Keuchkerian In a lavish three-day celebration that lit up the town of Faqra, Celio Saab—son of internationally acclaimed fashion designer Elie Saab—married Jordanian bride Zein Qutami in a wedding that captured national and regional attention. Over the course of three nights, the wedding drew widespread attention—but at its heart, it marked the beginning of a four-year love story between a young man and woman. Because the groom is the son of a globally renowned designer, the event took on a larger-than-life significance—filled with powerful, if unspoken, messages. Despite Elie Saab's international success, he chose to celebrate his son's wedding in Lebanon, in the area where his children grew up and built lasting memories. For him, the decision was instinctive—rooted in his deep connection to his homeland and its people. That choice brought dozens of celebrities and top business figures to Lebanon, especially from the United Arab Emirates, where the groom works, and Jordan, the bride's home country. The guests were introduced to the country from which Saab launched his career. The celebration gave a boost to Lebanon's tourism sector, particularly in the Faqra region, which saw thousands of attendees over three nights. More than 1,200 guests attended, including prominent Lebanese and international celebrities, both residents and expatriates. The wedding also highlighted Lebanese brands that have earned global recognition. From Elie Saab's own haute couture bridal gowns—crafted with exceptional detail—to the dresses worn by many of the women in attendance, the event showcased the designer's reach. Many top Lebanese artists who have achieved international acclaim were also present. Though a wedding, the event felt more like a glamorous artistic festival, celebrating Lebanese creativity and reaffirming that, despite its challenges, Lebanon remains a hub of beauty, art, and distinction. Here's to hoping that one day, weddings like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' will be hosted in Lebanon instead of Venice. After all, Lebanon has everything it takes—so why not?

TikTok turns Iran-Israel war into viral trend as young people document conflict online
Report by Ghida Fayad, English adaptation by Mariella Succar As the conflict between Iran and Israel escalates, its impact is no longer confined to the battlefield. On platforms like TikTok, the war has taken on a new dimension—becoming a source of viral content for a generation that documents everything in real time. Despite government warnings in both countries against filming and posting during wartime, social media is flooded with firsthand footage. In Israel and Iran, civilians are using their phones to turn life under fire into daily vlogs, offering raw, often unsettling views of missile strikes, shelter conditions, and scenes of displacement. Many of these clips show the kind of destruction and fear that traditional media rarely captures. Some videos circulating from Israel depict moments when foreign workers and others were denied access to bomb shelters due to overcrowding. From Iran, others show families fleeing targeted areas, giving viewers an unfiltered look at life during wartime. The trend is not limited to the countries directly involved. In Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Syria—countries over which many of the missiles pass—audiences have begun tracking the timing of Iranian strikes. In some areas, the sight of missiles overhead has become a daily event. In Lebanon, the experience has taken on an almost surreal tone. Many residents, witnessing the conflict from a distance, have described it as the first time they feel like spectators to a war unfolding around them. Videos of missiles streaking across the night sky have appeared above rooftop parties and bustling nightlife scenes. Some restaurants and bars even leaned into the moment, adding menu items jokingly labeled 'sky missiles view,' referring to the view of incoming rockets from their outdoor terraces. Across cities from Beirut to Damascus, Baghdad, and Amman, social media users have begun incorporating war footage into romantic or stylized posts—using missile imagery in videos to express affection or flirtation. The online phenomenon underscores a generational shift in how wars are witnessed and narrated.
