Saturday, 19th of September; Pedro and I were invited to a Basotho wedding. The ceremony was held at the Bride's (one of our collegues) hometown, Thalinyane, which is a small place about 1h00 away from Maseru.
We tried to dress ourselves in the traditional way by using the colours and patterns of Lesotho, Seshoeshoe. But it ended up having the opposite effect....I guess it just made us stand out even more!
We were happy to share this moment with them and to see how weddings are celebrated in Lesotho.

The bride's maids...
Before the church ceremony, there were a serie of dances and confrontations betweeen the groom and the bride's family. The men in white sang for the groom. The others for the bride.
Yes! We wore matching outfits!
Me and some of my collegues.
