a wedding in Malindi

My cousins' cousin's wedding, held on the Kenyan coast, was an amazing event.

a local father and daughter cycled curiously past the groom's vehicle

and finally the groom emerges!

 

 

various ceremonies, involving both sides of the family

the bride's mother welcomes the groom, warning of the hardships and realities of marriage

 

(I think my cover was blown)

the wedding had a wonderfully diverse mixture of guests
