People: Pack of cards: Journalists tie a knot

On a warm summer-like evening and under a romantic and star-studded sky, Al-Ahram Weekly 's very own Nader Habib married the beautiful Donia Wagdy, a journalist at the Watani weekly newspaper. The wedding took place at the Holy Virgin Church in East Abassiya last week. Following the ceremony a reception was held by the couple's parents at the Military Communications House in Medinet Nasr where the happy couple danced the night away.

Nader, son of interior designer the late Fouad Habib, was joined on this joyous occasion by his mother Fayqa Fakhouri, general manager of the Egyptian Civilisation Museum, his bride's family artist Wagdy Habashy and his lovely wife Magda Wahba from the Television and Radio Union News Sector as well as his uncles Safwat and Sami Habib.

Among the other men and women of the media I saw enjoying the party were Watani 's Editor-in- Chief Youssef Sidhom, Managing Editor of the English Supplement Samia Sidhom, Al-Ahram 's Deputy Editor-in-Chief Salwa Habib, Editor-in-Chief of the Israeli Studies magazine Emad Gad and deputy editor of the international section at the daily Al-Ahram newspaper Ezzat Ibrahim.

Of course we from the Weekly were there, too. Our representation, headed by Mona Anis, deputy editor-in-chief, Managing Editor Galal Nassar, the Weekly 's lay-out editors Hany Mustafa, Khaled El-Ghamry and his wife Doaa, Ayman George, Nesmahar Sayed, Ahmed Kamal and staff reporters Rasha Saad, Sherine Nasr and last but not least the woman who solves so many of our administrative problems Magda Fayez.
