    Oh man, our videographer sent us a link with a video montage of our traditional ceremony. It was such an interesting and joyous day.  I wish I could have done this back home in Africa (that would have been soooo much fun) but Houston was good too and my mum got to invite all her friends who couldn't come for both the African and American wedding (which was the next day) Those outfits were hot though (and I mean temperature hot!!) Enjoy...and yes, that is our version of the 'money dance' We call it 'spraying'. I love the song playing. I wish you understood my language. It's such a great song, by Psquare. I'm sure YSLQueeen knows them. Anyhow, here is the video Cool

     

    Ps, still waiting on my disc. I will do a photographic recap with all my details too :)

    This is sooooo fun - and colorful. I love it!

    What country in Africa are you from?  I was in Tanzania for a month in college. Best time of my life. I miss all the colors - we tend to be so drab here.

    @Miss Longcoat: The name of the song is 'Bunie ya enu' which means 'Lift Him up' in my language. It's by Psquare.

    @eloping: Yeah, I wonder where those snippets are now from the folks who were taping it too? The rocking dude in the front is the MC. He was a character Smile

    @mandypop: I'm Nigerian. Eastern part. My DH is from the Western part.

     

    @plantains: My sister, forget!! That money they sprayed us is going to help with our honeymoon thankyouverymuch!

    @bRooklynRocks: I got your message and wanted to see how your wedding went. Looks like it was an awesome time. I am going to have to take some time to catch up all of the weddings I had been following to see how everything turned out. I will probably be off and on until I am all caught up.

    @bRooklynRocks: How did I miss this?!?

    Probably because I was so wrapped up in my wedding that I wasn't on the boards that much. I'm at work now, so I can't see the video but will watch very soon when I get home.
