What an amazing experience to be at a Kenyan wedding! They told us that this was a small wedding because there were "only" 400 guests. In our eyes it was of course a huge wedding. Moreover, a fantastic wedding with beautiful clothes, joy and dancing.

Wow! What a thing to be part of!!! 😀 Thank you for sharing this!
I went to an 89th birthday party in Brazil, which was also fantastic! There was a whole orchestra walking across the lawn playing Happy Birthday and people danced salsa and laughed and ate for hours!

Says like others above here....What an experience..... is different than just coming as a regular tourist.
I'd like to have a dress like that that you just wrap around yourself in their lovely colours.
Enjoy the warmth and bring some of it home too:)

What a fantastic wedding. I have been a guest at a very different wedding in Kuwait. The women partied in one room and the men in another. We didn't get to see the groom meet the bride, the officiant had a ceremony with the groom and then went over to the women and probably repeated a similar ceremony there. Very different, but a great party it was, amazing people, and amazing food. An experience of a lifetime.

How cool to be at a wedding in Kenya! 🙂 I myself attended a wedding in China a few years ago. Really exciting, although I felt a little out of place....
PS You haven't missed that your guide about Kiev has been published on Reseguiden. 🙂

Absolutely fantastic! I am really jealous of you who got to experience such a wedding. I work as a wedding photographer but have never been to a Kenyan one...:-) Who knows, maybe one day....
