Wedding celebrations, Iraqi style

BBC Report:

A bride and her mother are believed to be among at least eight people who have died in a series of drive-by shootings in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.
Gunmen reportedly opened fire on a car carrying the newlywed couple and family in the Dora area of the city.

I can only guess this is some new raghead custom that I'm not aware of.

I can't find any mention of this on either of Aljazeeras sites, they'd probably blame it on space aliens anyway.
