Have a Happy Friday! The 2nd wave/ events of the wedding was done. It was the signing of contract with the male nearest relatives of both party, the groom and the bride. For the 2nd events, it divided into two party, yesterday it was with the male visitors and at night the family of the groom came and brought all their gold gifts for the bride. Later at night, all female friends and relatives will come at night until morning to congratulate the bride a d family after the signing of marriages contract. The daughter of my boss was officially married but they are not yet allow to stay together. The groom could visit the bride until the big day called Sahara. The signing of contract is called Melka.

The Mansion was lighted in and out. It looked like a ship in the ocean with the reflection in the rain water on the street.

Highlighted the new theme of the rooms and arrangement.

The outside view when the strong wind storm us not with sand but a rain water. The first rain of the season and hopefully, it's a good sign for their culture and tradition.

At night the groom family that they were going to send and give the stuff for the bridges gift. Aside from money, they were sending a 2 cars full of stuff and the golds.

11:30pm, the grooms family and friends arrived. I watched them in the cctv monitor. They had lighted fireworks but I didn't catch the moment, I was busy.

Different kinds of stuffs, fruits, drinks, sweets and golds.

The melka had done but they will not be together until next month. There will be three remaining procedure to complete the marriages life of the daughter of my employer before they finally declare as husband and wife.

A lot of money spend for a marriage life here. It caused some individuals remain single both men and women. Or else some of the citizens find lovers or wife abroad to escape the reality of over spending during a wedding or finding a wife. This is my observations as I am staying here 27 years. I noticed the reality, traditions and cultures.
