Last night we went to Richard's future wife's "Send Off". The Send Off is sort of a mini wedding that the groom does not participate in as the family sends off their daughter. The future bride shows her sadness at leaving her family by not smiling the whole night. The send off often costs as much as the wedding itself! Major decorations, live band, DJ, MC, buffet meal, matching dresses for all the female members of the family, dancing, speeches, traditional and western wedding cakes etc. It started at 6 (officially), we arrived at 7:30-ish, meal was served at 11 pm and we left around midnight, just as the dancing got started. The highlight for me was when one of the bride's uncles grabbed Uncle Erik and started dancing with him. We Rowbergs are not typically known as wonderful dancers :)
The future bride Anna and her Maid of Honor. Behind them are two chairs up on the stage where they sat most of the night. Behind the chairs were flashing twinkle lights.
Traditional wedding "cake" - a whole roasted goat. Slices of cucumber and carrots are stuck in it.
