Northern Burkina Faso Fulani Wedding African Women_2010_12810_ireneabdouphotography.com.jpg


In the town of Djibo in northern Burkina Faso, a Fulani wedding has taken place. Friends and family of the bride carry gifts and possessions of the bride - pots and pans, blankets, textiles, and other items - from the bride's home to her new home with her husband. Surprisingly, many of these gifts are not destined for the bride or groom, but will be parceled out to wedding guests and relatives of the groom.
