Haitian Weddings

Weddings are a big deal in Haiti. I’ve been to two weddings since I arrived here last October. The first wedding I went to, I ended up singing during the signing in the ceremony. One thing I’ve been learning about Haitian culture is that nothing is really planned out, and if I want to help out in some way, it’s never a problem. I found out three days before the wedding, that I was going to be singing.
Last Saturday was another wedding, and I helped made some food for the reception. I found it really interesting to watch all the ladies from the church, preparing the food. Everything was cooked over charcoal. It was amazing, really. I’ve included a few pictures from the wedding so you can get an idea of what it was like.
