In the picture you can see a local bride in her happiest day, the wedding. Weddings can take up to three days in Morocco. Friends and relatives of the couple are invited to drink (not alcohol), eat and dance. Ceremonies usually take place in the house of the parents of the bride.
Meknes is connected by rail to Fes, Rabat, Casablanca and Marrakech. There is a company (CTM) that runs air conditioned buses to the mentioned cities, too. If you cannot find a seat, there are also public buses to all major destinations in Morocco. If you want to travel on your own, you can hire a Grand Taxi. It will cost you a little less than renting a car. Roads in this region are in excellent condition.
If you visit Meknes, I would recommend going to Fes by bus, and to Rabat/Casablanca by train.
