So You are in a Habesha Wedding…
Let’s be honest… if you said yes and this is your first time you really don’t know what you signed up for…. Here is a comical yet truthful outlook on what you said yes to… Meetings… lots and lots of pre wedding meetings No, seriously you end up needing to go because there are so many intricate pieces of what the days leading up, during and after will require that you need to know where you need to be at all times. Not to mention brush up on learning about the culture Trying dresses on for weeks on end…. Having to download whatsapp so you can be in the bridal party chat with the bride… and a bridesmaids only chat Having to get your measurements for your habeshakemis/zuria done 5 times to send to the designer back home Only to have it be delivered and still not fit Planning a bridal shower for your habeshabride when it lowkey is a mini reception Not to worry though because the bachelorette is about to be lit… wait how many people are coming? Getting the final schedule for the wedding weekend and see the time slot for hair and makeup Trying to find a spot in the bathroom to get the perfect post beat selfie (don’t lie all of you do it!) Not knowing traditional songs the morning of the wedding and all the Emama’s and Aday’s giving you the side eye Getting your 5 min of shine walking into the reception Only to be pushed out of the way once the family gets onto the dancefloor Being a human shield for your friends the bride and groom Finding out that your sandals are not under the table where you hid them Wanting to go to sleep back at the hotel but your bride says…. NAH… VIP at the bar around the corner lets go! There isn’t enough advil in the world for the albaso and shuruba But seeing your best friend in her traditional wear and so happy makes it all worth it More Photos
