The Wedding Party

Thursday 2 March 2006 20:00-20:30 (Radio 4 FM)

Jordanian couple Nadia al-Alami and Ashraf Da' as al-Akhras were celebrating their wedding at a hotel in Amman when two Iraqi suicide bombers, husband and wife, walked into the reception room. The explosion killed 24 guests, including the couple's fathers, and the bride's mother. BBC Correspondent Caroline Hawley, who was staying in the Amman Grand Hyatt hotel which was also bombed on that evening last November, revisits the city to meet the couple who started their new life together under these traumatic circumstances.
