Over the weekend I attended a traditional Kenyan/Kikiyu/KiEmbu wedding which was the actual bomb diggity. Like I mentioned in
this post, I'm learning so much about Kenyan culture its fab. The drive literally seemed endless but the scenery made up for it so hooray! I also love how the wedding was supposed to start at 11 but didn't actually start until we got there which was at 3. African timing is the best. Sometimes.
I got a few photos of the actual ceremony but then I got tired. We ended up spending the night because aint nobody got time to drive back in pitch black. It also rained through out the night so we couldn't leave at 7am like we wanted to. We actually overslept because the rain was so therapeutic. I felt like God was just telling us to relax and enjoy this time with our hosts! We sat down and had a lovely breakfast and just relaaaaxed. So good and so needed.
I took my film camera along with me so those photos should be A+.

So yeaaa that was my weekend. At the end of it all I was so sick of being in the car for long periods of time. Fun times fun times. My mom and I casually fell in love with the #villagelife because growing your own dinner is for cool people only. I wouldn't mind, tbh, if we had wifi...and maaaybe tv.
How was your weekend? And would you ever consider living on a ranch/farm?

Loved the post (as usual), keep it up! :)
ReplyDeleteWow all your photos are so beautiful! Loved this post. It sounds like you and your mom had a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteI would consider living on a ranch or farm if there was wifi. I like all the photography you got going on here, such lovely photos. It that sweet print your wearing a skirt or a dress, either way I like it. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Felecia definitely digging the print you're wearing. As for the farm, I lived on a chicken ranch for 6 years. It is not all it is cracked up to be, even with the wifi!
ReplyDeletethanks gyal!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ms. Kendall! We did! #thevillagelifechoseus
ReplyDeleteThanks Ms. Felecia! As long as there's wifi, I don't mind tending to the chickens.. I think. HA! It's a maxi dress :)
ReplyDeleteOh man! I may or may not have to rethink this :( Booooo.
