~ Day 148 ~

Saturday, October 29, was Blessing's wedding.  He works with us as a translator in Admissions.  Such a fun experience to see how they do weddings here in Sierra Leone.

The happy groom, patiently waiting for his bride to arrive.


I think this was the ring ceremony.  If you see the aerosol can in the bridesmaid's hand...we tried to figure out what it was.  It was somewhat like artificial snow or feathers, but evaporated pretty quickly.  She sprayed it after each one said their vows, etc.  Guess it's possibly the equivalent to silly string :)


Re-entering after signing the "register," otherwise known as the marriage license. 


Florence and I :)
