WEDDING IN ANGOLA

We had the privilege to participate in the wedding of one of the members.  Cordencio and Sarah.
 The bride and groom waiting for their turn with the judge.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 The wedding ceremony with the witnesses.

 Exiting the building as husband and wife.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 A small get together at the church before the big party.

 The big party and dance with lots of food.

This was a very special day for this wonderful couple.
This ring bearer and flower girl are waiting for their wedding party to be called at the court house.
Aren't they just too precious....
 
 

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN ANGOLA

Traffic at its best...no wonder it takes so long to drive across town.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Sometimes it is hard to tell what they are carrying.
 
 
 
 
 
 These women are carrying 5 gallon containers of water. 
 Nothing stops or even slows down traffic.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Resourceful...
 
 
 
 
 
 
Balanced...
 Organized...
  In memory of those who fought in the war.
Out of the city we meet other traditions.
