Wedding - ugandan style

Grrom and bride, Kampala, Uganda

Last Saturday I attended a wedding (exactly the couple, where, one week before, the Introduction ceremony had). This is a serious matter, there a female cannot attend in trousers.... So Rose wrapped me in one of her traditional dresses. By myself - no chance! First, an underskirt, and then a firm cloth, which is wrapped twice around the hips and tied with a cord. The hips become quite extensive with that... On top of all that, there is the dress..... This is rather uncomfortable and incredible hot! But the wedding was exciting! First 2.5 hours church, then a photo session in front of the church, then a party in the youth center. All that came with a lot of music, dancing, talking, a gigantic cake, food, and many parcels. A great day, also with quite some respect towards the women, who wear this traditional national costume in the everyday life....
