My friend & fellow photog Ibrahim had his wedding this weekend. Like many couples in northern Ghana, they have been together for many years and have several children. They did a traditional wedding back then – which means he performed all the customary obligations to her family. Today’s event was the “official” Muslim wedding and they had a Islam cleric come and bless it.
I wasn’t able to attend the brief ceremony, but the event is an all-day sort of thing with people coming and going to congratulate them.
The women sat with his wife in her room where she was wearing a beautiful dress. The men all sat outside and played cards. I joined them for an hour or so and learned how to play a game called ZOMP. It’s a bit like Spades or Hearts.
