Ceremony Details
The wedding ceremony will take place on Matemwe beach, Zanzibar at 3 pm the 8th of January 2007. The bride will arrive on a “litter” carried by four strong men in traditional dress, accompanied by local musicians. In traditional Zanzibari style the groom will arrive on to the beach by either boat, donkey or on a rusty “made in China” black bicycle. The service will be a traditional Christian service as conducted by an amiable Anglican priest. Following the ceremony we will be entertained by local Zanzibari musicians while enjoying a dinner comprised of the fruits of the sea.
