Burkina Faso Wedding (18/10/07)‎

The Damascus quarter were the wedding was celebrated

The friends of the groom, in front of the mosque after the praying time

We met a guy from Comores that explaned us the customs and tradition in a african wedding

The groom just came and salute his guests

He salute and have a speech with the family of the bride next to the door of the mosque

The Comorian tell us about the suits for an african wedding

The typical shoes made of coco tree

The groom had a long speech with each of his guests

In the way to the house of the groom

The wedding meal

Before we ate, many sourats from the holy quran were read

Quran lecture, followed by long spiritual and tribal speeches adressed to the groom in both classic arabic and tribal language

We were only 3 europeans, we enjoyed a lot these unknowed customs !
