Senegal
Senegal was both welcoming and exotic. It was the only country that we were married twice. Each ceremony took place with a different indigenous group; Wolof and Bedik. So very unique. And wonderful!
∆ Wolof: We were excited to attend the 'grand magal celebration for women' at the great mosque of touba. while there, we were honored by the 'guide' who performed our wedding rituals. over one hundred men, women & children participated in the fun. wow! ∆
∆ Beth preparing for the ceremonial meal to be served to the entire bedik village. Yummy!
∆ The local bedik women dressed and prepped Beth for the ceremony. then the entire village came out to join in the procession. when beth was brought to me, I had to pay one dollar to buy my bride. well worth the investment! The party lasted throughout the night.
