Wedding in africa
Church wedding in Uganda
Eight months later we had our second wedding in
Uganda. This was
different in that we got married in church as opposed to the civil registry
ceremony in Germany. We also tried to bring out the afro-euro spirit by having
african decor with a european touch.

Living
abroad meant that we had to rely on my friends and family to plan the wedding
in kampala. This they did so well blending all our tastes & flavours to our
satisfaction.We had a “small” wedding according to ugandan standards of 200
guests.
We started out with the obligatory studio shots
before proceeding to the church ceremony in a small church in the suburbs of
kampala.

“A little my-time” (time to relax before
hosting the guests to a reception): After the church, the bridal entourage went to a resort by the lake
for another photo shoot and a little “ our time”.

Cutting a Heart out: With the photo shoot done we proceeded to to Okapi Gallery gardens for
the main reception

Our
reception was an outdoor reception with many round tables covered in yellow
& white & gold plus gourds, painted yellow and gold to bring in the
african touch as well as "kikoyis" used as table runners.
Giving the most appreciated friend/s or family
members a cake each: As a sign of appreciation the couple always
gives a cake to either both families that of the bride and that of the groom or
to particular family members & friends. In our case we gave one to the
mother of the bride, one to the wedding planners, one to Lucy’s family and
another was put aside for Thomas to take back to his family in Germany!!
