Ivorian wedding

COTE D'IVOIRE

Yesterday, my first Saturday in Abidjan, was a very full day. Among other things, I randomly attended the wedding of a couple named Jean-Marie and Jeanne at a church in the Cocody neighborhood. Although it started much later than expected, it ended being a lot of fun. Besides the musicians and singers, one of the highlights was when the pastor said something like "the groom is the sales representative for such and such company, he's a good catch - congratulations!".

Here are a few photos I took:

By the way, I was told that the white and grey fabrics worn by the singers are typical of the Baoulé.
