Wedding

Saturday Herbert’s son, Vincent got married. Like everywhere, weddings are a lot of work. On Friday, George and I went over to Herbert’s house to see if we could help with anything. I worked on the wedding favors while George painted and did various other tasks. We promised to come the following morning if we could be of help before the wedding.

When we arrived at Herbert’s house that morning, there wasn’t really anything for us to do, although they seemed to appreciate us being there. We arrived at 10:30 and the wedding was scheduled to start at 1:00.

Here I am wearing a dress designed by George and made by our neighbor in Kisumu, Mama Agu.



We hung out and watched as various family members arrived. Every time someone new came, there was a celebration. People were dancing, singing and having a great time. There was a band (from the local Salvation Army) which was really fun.





At one point, the bride’s family arrived for tea.



George was put to work as the official tie tie-er and soon nominated as the family’s photographer.



Here we are with Herbert (and Alan, Lulu’s son and ring bearer.)
