Appearing beautiful in a white dress and a long veil, a bride before this went viral as the video saw her moments posing before being startled by a wave of explosions in Beirut finally tells about the incident.
Israa Seblani, 29, who is also a doctor working in the United States helped examine the injured people near her before rushing to a safer place.
The day after the incident, she and her husband, Ahmad Subeih tried to ‘process’ what had happened.
“I have been preparing for my big day for two weeks and I was so happy like all the other girls, ‘I am getting married’. My parents are going to be happy seeing me in a white dress, I will be looking like a princess,” said Seblani.
“What happened during the explosion here – there is no word to explain … I was shocked, I was wondering what happened, am I going to die? How am I going to die?” she added.
Behind her, piles of broken glass from the shattered hotel windows ‘adorned’ the ground along with the remnants of the ruined flower vases on the banquet table.
Seblani arrived in Beirut three weeks earlier to prepare for her wedding.
After the explosion, she and her husband tried to calm down and continue their wedding.
“There is a lot of damage, many people were killed and wounded. But also if I want to look at us, myself, my husband, the photographer – how we escaped unharmed, I thank God for protecting us,” she said.
