Flooded roads did impact the turn-around time to transport patients to hospitals, but the medical staff was up to the task
Watching this couple get married at Dubai's iconic seven-star attraction seems like a modern-day fairy tale.
While most of us desire a fairytale wedding at some point in our lives, only a few are able to achieve that dream. And then they live happily ever after. (Those who don't, ALSO live happily ever after!)
As you look at the stunning wedding video of Indian couple, Vivek Bhatia and Shruti, at Burj Al Arab Terrace, take heart and try NOT to be jealous. The wedding was planned by Dubai-based Event Chic Designs that claims they were the first couple to get married at the Terrace that opened last year.
The wedding appears to be in a "fusion" of modern structures and the tranquility of the nearby water. It has a central walkway, surrounded by beaches and private cabanas on both sides.
Oh and how can we forget the icing on the cake -- there were fireworks too!
The Burj Al Arab Terrace was opened on May 25 last year by His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, adding it to one of the UAE's impressive list of architectural wonders. Later in September, the Terrace opened its doors to general public, even if they weren't hotel guests. It costs Dh1,800 on weekdays, and Dh2,200 on weekends. Lavish is one way to call it.
"A few days ago, we inaugurated the world's first 3D printed office, and today we are opening Burj Al Arab Terrace, the first man-made luxury beach facility of its kind. Both projects reflect Dubai's vision to achieve global leadership in innovation and excellence," Shaikh Mohammed said back then.
Here are some more candid moments from the ethereal wedding:
