Kenyan Weddings

Are the best.  They have a tradition of singing the bride from where ever she got ready to where the ceremony is being held.  All of the women in her circle of friends and family sing to her as she leaves the house and place blankets/scarves on the ground in front of her so her feet don't touch the ground.  She is treated like a queen.  The whole thing is so full of joy, celebration and laughter. 

The bride and groom are sung into their reception the same way.  There is absolutely nothing that makes me cry like a baby more than such a vibrant celebration of love.  This song has been on repeat since the last Kenyan wedding on Friday past.  Love it.
