Jen, Julianna and I went to a real live Zambian wedding last night!
Our friend Kabuswe (an UNZA student I work with) invited us (it was his cousin’s wedding) and a bunch of his other friends (who we also know from UNZA)… so many brackets, oh my!
Before the wedding we got dressed (& drank a little wine) at Jen’s house, enjoyed Jen’s random music assortment haha and tried to hail a cab in the rain (which ended up being an empty somewhat sketchy mini bus). Once at the wedding (we were quite late) there were many speeches (some in French because the groom was from France), comedy interludes (from the oh so witty MC), a lot of excellent food (surprsingly, no nshima) and dancing. It was a fun time, and everybody looked great (the bridal party wore peach coloured dresses). I’m trying to recall particularly ‘Zambian’ features of the wedding but can’t point out much in particular except that there were some pretty fun dance interludes (performed by Kabuswe’s little sisters) and after cutting the cake the bride and groom presented the top tiers of their cake to their parents in quite a ceremonial fashion.
All in all, an excellent night...
