I have been to allot of wedding before, but none quite like this one for sure. Its probably cos most of my friends who get married are Christian, and so its the usual exchanging of vows and rings, walking down the aisle and all that. Well, I can say Umar and Mahlini’s wedding was different from any I have ever attended, especially cos the bride was in Red and there were so many coconuts cracked! Seriously! They were coconuts, bananas, rice, jasmine flowers, incenses, leaves of all sorts, so much equipment. I wish I had somebody top explain what was going on, as I was really clueless. I did assume that they were offically married once Umar tied the “Tali” around Mahlini’s neck, cos thats when everybody threw rice and jasmine flowers on her! I was caught in the line of fire and came back with tons of rice on my hair.

 One thing to be said for sure, it was the most colorful wedding I ever attended! Ladies turned up in sarri’s of many colours and styles, they had all sorts of bangles and henna art on their hands, the stage area had tons of flowers and all that. It was a long ceramony and I was supper hungry, but it was a beautiful one. Congrats to Umar and Mahlini.
