Embu Sceneries: Porine and Maina's wedding

The hot dry wind of 14th June 2008 found us meandering through the red soils of central province. See, this was an absolutely fantastic day for some two lovely people... Maina Macharia and his lovely fiancee Pauline Nyawira.
These two had decided to call it quits to the singles club and had invited us to go and witness their transition to their "double lifestyle". Faithfully, we went to witness the carpenter's expert wqork of joining a Kikuyu and an Embu. For those of you who missed this auspicious occasion, I bring you images from the nether world.....

FIRST SCENES....
Glowing green vegetation growing 'under cover' are some of the sights you might witness when you embrace Embu. But hey don't hate it yet... it simply an indicator of its resilience. I mean, it is so hot but the maize is still holding strong... not a bad show.

I hope Porine and Maina will stand strong like this
even when clouds of life's dangerous dust hits their marriage


Yeah... remember the Nyayo Era?
Streets of Embu town give you that
nostalgic feel of the good old days...


THE WORKSHOP AND ALL...
It was in this locale that Maina's sun of bachelorhood was setting


And alas.. his long lost better half was going to be pinned to his side for life.


Mazee cheki tu venye jamaa alikuwa amegwarwa na matension...


Praying and hoping she hadn't eloped with someone else!!!


Of course we had come to give them moral support
as the sweat out any wedding day jitters
and embraced life in twos


Yes... all of us were there... (anybody wants to guess who was in this car?)


Welcome to the fantastic workshop
where the works of joinery were going to be done..

It may look empty now... but wait

In some few minutes the place was overflowing
with humanity eager to be counted as witnesses
of this carpentry work


At exactly this time,
bwana na bi harusi made their
Grand Entry into the church compound


Of course the class... sorry... the church prefect
was quick to alert every one to get in for roll call


But of course the "naughty wedding goers"
were not ready to leave the Mercedes all by it's self


Then at the back door, came the madam's amazing brigade


And clearing the way were these fantastic floral patterned flowers


The boys in their dark suits came riding through too


The young calvary chaperoning the way for them


First these ladies took us into "HIS PRESENCE"
via a highway called P & W


She was the one who did the hammering (Yeah she hammered the word)


And he was the one who took the jack plane and scrapped
all the single hood from our two VIPs


Mama was here to see off her son fall into the hands of another woman
(Is that a sad feeling or a joyous on?)


Hey.. I cant beleive that my little doll barbie girl has charmed another man!
Porine's father is seen here whispering to his wife

But somebody here was bubbling a million bubbles
to notice the hullabaloo in the background


She may be dark, but if you look carefully,
you will notice that she was blushing
like a nandi flame tree as her man approached her


Hey ... WAIT WAIT WAIT A MINUTE...
aren't you supposed to ask whether anyone has anything
that will stop this marriage.
Am lifting my hand BECAUSE I HAVE SOMETHING..!!!!!


WHAAAAAAAT???
Yani Poline and Maina were so scared that
this is the "inaccurate picture" I captured
to signify their experssion


Aw come on relax..
you can't get married without rings!!
That's all I wanted to give out


Now darling I take you for life my dear...


Oh boy I almost had a heart attack
but what a relief to have you as mine


A Memorandum of Understanding was signed


And kept in a very safe place...


Ladies and Gentlemen... Please help me welcome
Mr. and Mrs. Maina...
Aren't they lovely

Hmm... yeah I almost forgot that their army was here


Meet the governments spokesman


The guy charged with the task
of clearly expounding the governments
policies on food


As well as explaining what the queing process
for disbursement of ministry funds (read food)


Of course there will always be rumble rousers
(like the one pictured) though I hid her face
to conceal her identity

She come from back, cut the line
and then make a lot of noise to the MC,
the waiters and the people on the line
that she was also supposed to eat

HA HA wonders never cease talk about people behaving badly


OK enough of bad news... cheki tu hiyo Keki YUMMY


Aww... that ka-lovely message makes one weak at the knees


Do you guys (NMC YOUNG ADULTS) ever dream of this?


Drinking the fruit juice of ones waiting...
And celebrating the joy of transition
from singlehood to marriage VICTORIOUSLY

OH AWW I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MARRIED... any one supporting me?



SIDESHOWS....
Develop a keen eye and you will see amusing things everywhere
Does this mean duka ya Dawa?????


These two girls were checking out somebody....


While their object of fascination was formulating a plan
on how to convince one of them (if not both)
to go out for a coffee date... see the flowers in his hand?
Talk about smoothness at an early stage..


But the more experienced chap asked for their
phone numbers even before the service was over
(Any one wanna know whether he got them? The numbers and the girls)
Talk to me sweetly and I might divulge some info that am privy to.


Now we all know that Maina will not be sleeping alone anymore...


But he has indeed left some big shoes to fill in the gentlemen's camp
Mazee tutakumiss sana


While some were born to throw, spread and scatter far and abroad...,


Others endevor to gather what is thrown away
whilst wondering how all this 'wastage' takes place
in a world that's already drowning in scarcity


BEEN THERE DONE THAT... NEXT MISSION PLEASE
nothing taking place was new to her... so she did the unlikely


And the crew was there to get it all on motion camera 4u


While I captured the static ones


CASE CLOSED....
There you have it, the wedding of our friends... we wish them all the very best.
So who is next... trust me I got a long line of them
See you in the next celebration
But in the mean time, leave a comment.

Prince
