The joy of being a visual storyteller is the ability to see. As I looked at the crowd, formed in the living room, waiting patiently, to be handed over their wife, Njeri. I noticed the calm demeanour that Eric embraced. Yet the conversations during the negotiations were intense. This is the beauty of traditional ceremonies, they have the wisdom to see far beyond you. The dowry ceremony is normally held to determine the serious nature and the intentions of the husband and family that the lady will be married off to. It is also to enrich the union of two families. Njeri and Eric’s ceremony wasn’t any different. With a written entry, I could go on. However, allow the imagery to take you through their Ruracio (traditional wedding)
