About Us
I was born in Mozambique & my husband is West Indian (Dominica & St Kitts) but I was brought up in Portugal, so we wanted an African/European wedding.
Our Wedding Ceremony
My husband (Brian Nicholls) wore an African gown and I wore a traditional
white dress but we also jumped the broom which is an African Tradition. It
was fantastic, because one of the ushers was playing the drums & while he
did that, my sister read a little poem explaining the tradition of the
jumping of the broom.
Everyone then said a little chant & Brian & I jumped into our new future
together. We had 230 guests during the day and another 200 in the evening &
went on our honeymoon the next day to Bahamas for 2 weeks.
