MARK AND ANNA'S WEDDING
So we travelled down to Kisoro for the wedding, I was told it was hilly and beautiful but I couldn't quite of imagined how stunning it really was. As we reach Kabale district and travelled on to Kisoro using the roads carved out of the hills my eyes were opened to pure beauty. We went through forest and up over the hills then all of a sudden
The next day was the give away, which if I have this right is when the family of the bride give there blessing and give the bride over to the Groom. Was a scary event for me as i was sat at the front next to the groom and had to do some small procedures as part of the give away.
Next day the wedding where the 6 of us groomsman made a way to the church in a small car crushed together fun start. Of course with me being the only white guy i stood out a bit and reaching the church all the locals where shocked to see me at first one of the groomsman telling me there asked him if i was the groom oops
The wedding was all in the local language so I couldn’t understand but i got some glimpses and made sure to clap at the right time. It was a lovely ceremony they show so much respect for the occasion.
Sadly on our way to the reception it started to rain seriously and didn’t stop for the rest of the day, we all got a bit wet as we walked with the newly weds into the reception gardens to the sound of ladies shouting out in there African way. It was one of the most surreal feelings hundreds of people were there.
I help give out wedding cake and watch the amazing local dances, rained stop any dancing after the wedding was over but that didn’t stop us 6 groomsman as me danced until lights and music went off good times. Overall a truly amazing couple of days which i will never forget.
