A Mozambican wedding

My mama and Isly. All the women were busy conzinharing and every once in a while came out to dance and present things to the bride and groom for the wedding. :)

The guests get a gift here...all the women wear a matching capulani! SWEET! :)

Getting low and doing the butt move..as is the common dance here in Mozambique. Not inappropriate. Just a different culture... Yes, we do the pelvic thrust dance in the states...in the bars...but in that case, the context is different and can seem inappropriate.... :)

Mozambicans LOVE getting their picture taken as long as you ask. Then they LOVE to see the picture afterwards! Hands are all over the camera, but it became a highlight of the wedding dance party!

I don't know why, but they really wanted me to sit at the DJ station and hold the disc in my hand....and then I was surrounded buy the kids! Ada and Pai are in this picture. Pai is actually Ada's uncle...my mama's brother....but Ada and Pai are close in age.
