CNN — The happy couple was supposed to be celebrating their marriage. Dr. Israa Seblani and Ahmad Sbeih were on the streets of Beirut on Tuesday, with Seblani posing for photos in a dramatic, white wedding gown. It was a day like any other in the city’s Saifi Village, she said, with people out and about shopping and dining in restaurants. Then all of a sudden, there was a loud noise. Seconds later, an eardrum-shattering blast erupted behind her. That horrifying sound was the massive explosion rocked the Lebanese capital, leaving at least at least 135 dead and 5,000 injured. Mahmoud Nakib, the couple’s wedding photographer, captured the moment it all went down. « We were filming an outdoor photo session for the (Seblani) and (Sbeih), then we heard an explosion, » Nakib told CNN.
