I said good-bye, and for the first time I 18 a flicker of hope that somehow things would be 19 . With people like Mr. Rader in the world, there was hope, kindness and love, and that would always make a 20 .

On the afternoon before his wedding day this fall, Hamid was sitting in an empty teahouse holding a glass of green tea between his fingers, his brow folded in worry and anxiety .That’s the cost of his wedding. In Afghanistan, one of the poorest countries in the world, bridegrooms are expected to pay not only for their weddings, but also all the related expenses, including several huge pre-wedding parties and money for the bride’s family, known as the bride price. The bridegroom is also responsible for jewelry, flowers, and two dresses for the bride, two suits for himself, a visit to the beauty salon for the bride and her closest female relatives, as well as a sound system for the wedding, a photographer and a video team with a pair of cameramen. All that can run a middle-class Afghan man on average $ 20,000.
Hamid, a midlevel bureaucrat in the Afghan government who supports his six-member family on a salary of $ 7,200 per year, said his bill was going to top $ 12,000. And by Afghan standards, that would be considered normal, or even a bargain.
“Sometimes it’s difficult to think about it,” said Hamid, 30, “It’s a lot of responsibility. “After that the bridegrooms and their families are left with bills that put them into heavy debts .Even the poor must do that. A laborer, for instance, making about the average income of $ 350 per year, may well spend more than $ 2,000 for his wedding.
Hamid’s wedding ceremony opened at the East Diamond Wedding Hall in Kabul, in two vast banquet rooms, one for the men and the other for the women. Islamic custom dictates that the sexes be separated .Dressed in a white suit, he was smiling and seemed happy. “In our country, the wedding is a big problem—until you’re done with it. “Hamid’s father, a lifetime civil servant who makes $ 100 a month, also seemed relieved and joyful .Asked how he felt about the money 30 times his monthly salary, he replied: “It was good! I’m extremely happy!” The payment, he explained, allowed the marriage to happen. “Only a memory is left,” he said. “A memory of happiness.”
Like most Afghan bridegrooms, Hamid had to empty his savings, borrow money. They had all saved in anticipation of the event, much like a Chinese family might prepare years in advance for college tuitions. After the wedding, he was going to be left with $ 2,000 in debt ,which he expected to pay off within five months .But it is not so easy for many other young Afghan men.
