I was invited to attend a Maasai wedding taking place about 2 hours away. If you are not familiar with the Maasai tribe you can read more here and see some pictures I have taken here. I refer to them as the Amish people of East Africa. They live a rugged and basic life. They generally still dress in the old fashioned ways and live in cow dung huts.
I was not sure what to expect at this wedding but I am always up for an adventure so I was looking forward to it. I was told to meet Mose at our church at 6:00 am. I am becoming well adjusted to African life so I didn't even plan to arrive at the church until 7:00am. After waiting for a few others to show up we finally left Mose' homestead at 8:30 ish. Of course none of these guys thought to buy a gift before the day of the wedding, so we had to stop in town to buy something.
