The Big Day!

Today was the big day - Djennaba's Wedding! This morning, it poured, and we were worried, but it cleared up. We didn't meet Djennaba until this afternoon, but we brought her balloon flowers (in Malian colors) and a wedding card in English, French, and Bambara. Right before we left, Maria told us that Sunday is actually the gift giving day, but she thought we could get away with bringing the flowers today anyway.


The rain was so strong today - here it is shooting off the slide.


Before the Fete - These are the fanciest clothes that we brought,
and our outfits at the tailor aren't ready yet!


The Bridal Party (we think)
