Charming and quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWeddings in Africa are exotic affairs for the rest of the world. They do, however, tend to reflect the cultures of the various countries and regions. Within the 'sameness' of being African, I should imagine that there are as many differences between Guinea and South Africa as there are in other different countries of the world.
The African-style dresses also differ but one thing which remains constant is the use of vibrant, patterned cotton.
Thank you for this lovely post...
Thanks Fe for your insight. This is one part of the world I long to see.
DeleteSharon, thanks for sharing this. It's a reminder of how cultures differ. Wonderful to have the Africa Mercy ship!
