Off she goes

This is Alepher, our boss, in Malawi, with Mary and her sister Memory, as she is just about to depart for the far South to the home village of her father.
They call it a traditional wedding, but it seems like an engagement bash.
The very lucky man is Richard.
The process will take the week!
The official wedding will take place in Mzuzu on June 6, but I will, sadly, be in Ireland.
