Wedding of the Street-school headmaster, Pastor Samura

Yesterday we took part in our friend’s wedding (Helen gave one of the 10 speeches) . He is also head security guard at the British Consulate, and so the British Consul was thre as well.

Six reverends and three pastors officiated (not an unusual line up) and a bishop was there and preached very well. About 500 attended for the meal and speeches.

Note the woollen 3-piece suit that about ten men are expected to kit up in in 80% humidity; also the travel arrangements for the bridal party, and a 1 mile walk through a market and up a steep hill for the guests. Our contribution went towards the fancy cake!
