African Wedding
Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 8:51PM Tweet I just returned home from two weeks in Africa. I went as part of a mission team to Zimbabwe. I'll post more on that soon, but while I was there, I had the chance to attend a wedding and take some pictures. The wedding was in Mutare, Zimbabwe in a little Methodist Church.
The Church had no lights, electricity, or air flow. It was designed to hold about 100 people, but almost 400 crammed in for this little wedding. 
The couple was a really cute older couple that desided to get married after having lived together for a long long time. I think everyone in the community attended the wedding, because in a small rural town like this, there isn't much else to do. The wedding itself lasted almost 4 hours. 
The church couldn't hold everyone. In fact at least another 100 people were outside the church. Many were very courious and watched through the open windows.
The reception was held down the road under an open tent in a field.
The main meal was sadza, which a corn based meal kind of like our grits only thicker
All in all it was a beautiful day (even if it was crazy hot). The couple even got blessed with a rainbow at the end of the day.
