It was AMAZING!!!

We had so much fun. We did a traditional ceremony (my hometown) and then we had a reception (his hometown).

At the traditional ceremony there is this part before the bride comes out where sisters/cousins/etc will make the groom pay in order for the bride to come out for the ceremony. So, I was locked in my room with one of my bridesmaids and we were waiting. All of a sudden I hear shouting and yelling and different amounts of money being yelled out. Inusah's friends were negotiating on his behalf and it was hilarious to hear all of it.

I still have no idea what they paid <_<

So, pictures:

This is at the traditional ceremony. We had it outside our house :) The women in the orange head-dresses are his sisters and cousins.

Me and my bridesmaids. The 2 standing on either side are my twin sisters. The others are my cousins:
