On February 16th, Matt had the privilege of being the Best Man in his friend Dennis' wedding. Dennis has lived in Swaziland for about 3 years and met the woman of his dreams, Zwakele!!! It has been interesting to see Dennis and Zwakele get engaged and married 'Swazi Style.' Like all Swazi's, Dennis had to pay for Zwakele with cows, and although their wedding was 'western style' with the brides dress and bridesmaids, they danced up the aisle... after all Swazi are great at dancing, on the other hand Matt had a little trouble finding his rythmn...



I personally think he stole the show!!!!


Let's not forget the rest of the wedding...


On Saturday Dennis and Zwakele had a small wedding with about 150 invited guests. However, this is unusual in Swaziland. Usually, anyone and everyone show up to a wedding in the community, invited or not. So, on Sunday, they had the exact same ceremony but in the local community, where four times the amount of people were squished into a church a sixth of the size...it was hot, but all had a great time!!!! I had the privilege of taking the pictures of the wedding, so here are a few...


Dennis met Zwakele half way down the aisle, and they walked the rest of the way together.


 


The ceremony on Saturday




The flower girl was so cute!!!



The groomsmen...not really sure why one of them is holding flowers!!!



The ladies!!!




And now, the bride and groom...





Matt looked so smart in his vest and tie...In my opinion, definitely the best looking one there!!!
