Just your average cookout

We went to a Fulani wedding yesterday, the bride and groom weren't
around, which we found out after coming home is very normal- in fact
it's tradition to agree to the arrangement in the morning and then hide
away to the bush for a few days (not on a honeymoon mind you, but 'cause
they are shy?? and well it's just like that). Don't worry we still had
fun with the parents and family of the couple- plenty of no-no to drink,
cow to be cooked and party to be had. We count it a blessing to have
been invited, to walk in the midst of hundreds of Fulani from all over
Nigeria and to call them our friends.
