The Iraqis, Salar and Suma, decided to marry on a site on Mount Halkord in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, by taking a night walk on the mountain.
The two brides spent their wedding Sunday night inside a tent at an altitude of two thousand meters, to start on their first morning to climb Mount Hilcord, which is the second highest mountain in Iraq and rises more than 3,600 meters.
Salar Chomani, 34, spent 12 years wandering the mountains and taking advantage of his love for climbing to find a job in the Shoman region on the Iraq-Iran border as a guide for oil companies exploring in the mountainous region of northern Iraq.
As for his wife, Soma Mohamed, 28, she is a student at the Faculty of Education at the University of Kuesnjak, which is also a mountainous region located near the border with Iran.
Soma is fond of hiking on mountains, as mountain hiking is increasingly popular in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
Friends, family, and hikers on the mountains wore walking shoes and sunglasses to thick jackets that spared the celebrities the scorching heat wave that hit Iraq several days ago, setting records above 50 degrees Celsius.
Adhering to tradition, the participants, most of whom wore sportswear and others wore a Kurdish uniform, circled the bride and groom to perform the distinctive Kurdish "Dabke" dance.
At the end of the party, Salar and Suma, who wore yellow jackets and blue pants and carried their two heavy bags on their backs, went to their tent, after a feast of fresh fruit and cheese brought from a nearby village.
This event is a reminder of the saying that "the Kurds have no friend but mountains."
