Introducing a Husband in Uganda
Before a wedding, most couples have to follow the traditions and go through a formal introduction ceremony. In this ceremony, the man gets introduced to the family of the bride to be. This has to be done meticulously and is intended to satisfy the family of the bride. I attended one in the central region of Uganda 0n 19th of May 2007 and the journey begun by us winding our way through the beautiful green that patterns most of Uganda. We went along with the required number of visitors. In this ceremony, idlers are not tolerated, and any additional person above the requested number by the in-laws will be met by a financial fine. Time must also be kept. Or else a fine will be slapped on the visitors. Our journey reached its end and we went through lots of introductory practices and lots of eating. Here, food is in abundance and the serving must include the popular dish wrapped and boiled in banana leaves (locally referred to as luwombo). The family of the bride will try its best to cook
