Congratulations to stella, karen, casper and christian! =D
Today me, Jessie, Rhona and Isabelle went to lilongwe to go to a wedding! Our dear colleague Stella got married! =) She was (is!) So beautiful in her weddning dress... Oooo I also want to!!!!
The church ceremoni was nice, a lot of people dancing and a reaggae/gospel band playing. Stella and her husband to be danced up the aisle. So beautiful! =)
Then it was the reception...I personally don't like the malawian weddnings reception. They do something called "Perikani Perikani", wich means "give give". The bride and the groom stands with a big basket in front of them, and every ine else is audience. Then for about 4 hours, there is music playing, and everyone gopes upp to throw money in the basket and at the bride and groom. A man calls upp different groups, and when "your" gruop is called up, you go and give money. And you can end up gicing money sooo many times. They call for exampl "every one who is a nurse!"and then "Every nurse at peadiatric ward" and "every staff member of the hospital". So you better keep a lot of "small" money, or you will quickly get ruined. Anyway, it is a a bit boring, and it feels strange that suddenly everything is about money, and who gives the most money.
Anyway, Stella was beautiful and they looked really happy! =) But during the wedding ceremoni me and Rhona had a hard time keeping serious, the priest held a firery speech about the womans submission to her husband, and that the wife had to know her place...... hmmmm........ (How's that for gender equality....?)
And yeah, cool. Link just came in through the door, a bit scared. it seems like we have a couple of hyenas right outside our house. So cool! I went out to look, but couldn't see them (they probobly ran off in horror when they saw my terrifying person..... ;))
