It is great to be back with Brides From Africa. On today's ride, I have beautiful photos of brides from the West African country of Cameroon.
In my search for scoop, I stumbled across a traditional wedding inspired invitation. It is unique and lovely.

Once the two families meet, an engagement will be officially announced and the bride's father will decide on how much the marriage payment will be. It is paid as a sign of respect and good faith.
After the sharing the kola nut, the groom is asked to recognize and choose his beloved among other women. Salt is also presented by the groom to the bride's family as a symbol of friendship, loyalty, abundance and fertility.
After the groom identifies the bride, her father asks his daughter to share a glass of drink with the husband to be.
