These are the bridesmaids in one of several outfits they wore. They danced in (no one walked, everyone danced), knelt down in front of the groom's side, and received gifts. The man behind the bridesmaids with the microphone was the MC for the bride's side. I don't know what the man next to him did but he sat there through the whole ceremony.
Here are the bride price gifts after we paraded them in. The basket in the middle holds chickens. We set them in front of the bride and her aunts.
It's not all glamor and glory being at an introduction. There had been a downpour just before we arrived and the road and yard around the bride's simple concrete house were a muddy mess. We had to walk a little way from where we parked to where we sat, with this result.
