Wedding in December-- PCV and Malian!

this is the long ass walk we made to the cliffs for pictures















The bride, Julia, in her purple wedding dress.















Me in my new, cute skirt I got made for the occasion. I look weird because Tim is a freak and thinks that he is my personal paparazzi.

















More cave pictures...there were a lot of friends and volunteers there to support her and her new man, Yaya.

Above: Tim hates me, so he took this picture and put it on here for me to comment on... :)

Left: the procession goes on and on... we rode all over the f-ing village folike-ing/greeting every person in her village.

Above: Julia and her man Yaya... it is customary for everyone in the wedding party to match... so some of the guys have on shirts that match Sara (the only other white chick in the picture)... she is pretty much the designated maid of honor.

Left: Everyone at the mayors 'office'. Julia and Yaya putting on rings.... The mayor was reading out what would happen to Yaya if he broke the monogamy vow, which included 3-10 years of jail time and/or fines from 10,000 CFA-1,000,000CFA------ it was all very romantic, more like Malian way actually.


People crowding around---it was insane!
