African wedding

5.31.08 - Yaounde - Experienced my first African wedding today. Very low key, Islamic, at the Justice of the Peace, etc. etc., but still excellent. Saturday is the day for weddings in Yaounde so all across town people were honking horns in jubilation. After the wedding we popped over to the grooms, head of protocol at the European Commission's house for food...and it was great. Here are a few shots.

Groom puts the ring on Aawe's finger.

Little boy's hand, he was fidgety during the service.
