At a Rwandan wedding the bride and groom enter together.
In Rwandan weddings neither bride or groom are expected to show any emotion. You don't smile, or laugh with your guests. It's most odd! Claude wasn't able to stop himself cracking into a grin whenever he saw friends, but Immaculee spent the entire service with a stony, severe expression.
This is my favourite of all the wedding. It's a telephoto of Immaculee just after signing the registers.
Leaving the church. Claude's just about to break convention and smile.....
In all the crush of photographers, this is the best I could do in terms of a formal shot.

Bring on the dancing girls!
Not sure about the trainers, or the tee shirts for that matter, but the dancing was energetic!
Hoedown at the wedding. Pity all the rest of us just ahd to sit and watch. The man in white on the r.h. side is the leader of the whole troupe of dancers.
Yes, that's a Roman Candle blazing away from one of the cakes. And remember, you two, your wedding day is the happiest day of your life.....
