Here are some pictures from the Deputy Principal of Kimathi, Rosemary, at her wedding (more so like a remarriage celebration as they have been together for like 18 years) The first picture is her with her maid of honor coming down the aisle.. much like at a North American wedding. The second was with her and her husband after the families had given them garlands which were from what I understood like blessings. The third is of older women, family members and such who after the ceremony had ended, they sang songs and kindof marched around the couple. It was a very big wedding. I believe theywere having itbecuase althoughthey havebeen married for several years, they were finally in the position to host a big celebration to include the community. Much like at home, there was tons of really good food :)
