When a man wants to marry a woman, he has to pay an amount decided by the parent. It can be somethimes 4 or 5 years of salary. When the wedding takes place, the woman's family will take care of the expences. The man will come and live with the woman's family. The wedding celebration will be between 1 1/2 and 3 days. / Quand un homme veut marier une femme, il doit payer un montant d'argent au parents. Quand il y a le marriage, c'est la famille de la fille qui paie les depenses. L'homme va vivre avec la famille de sa femme. La celebration de marriage va durer entre 1 1/2 et 3 jours.
This picture is from my balcony. Here it is 7h am. The groom arrives with his family and friends to the brides house to celebrate the wedding. They are carrying the food that was actually provided and prepared by the girl's parents. There should have 36 different kind of dishes. / Cette photo a ete prise de mon balcon. Il est 7h am. Le marie arrive avec sa famille et les invites a la maison de la marie pour celebrer le mariage. Ils transportent la nourriture qui a ete preparer par la famille de la marie. Il doit y avoir 36 differentes sortes de plats.
This is the entrance of the wedding celebration. It blocks the road completely and the tent is about 3 houses long. Each side of the entrance has bananas and coconuts. One side is silver and the other is gold. There is also a picture of the couple. / Voici l'entree ou le marriage est celebre. Ca prend toute la largeur de la route et la tente est a peu pres 3 maisons de long. Chaque cote de l'entree il y a des bananes et des coconuts. Un cote en or, l'autre en argent. Il y a aussi une photo du couple.
This is not related to the wedding but we see regularly hundreds of ducks coming or going for a little swim. They are simply adorable. / Ceci n'a pas rapport au marriage mais on voit regulierement des centaines de canards qui arrivent ou vont se beigner. Ils sont vraiment trop cutes.
