Hi MrzLugz, I too would like to incorporate some African tradition into my wedding. I've located an article entitled "Weddings with a Twist" by Rozalynn S. Frazier. You can find it at http://www.essence.com/essence/print/0,14882,364219,00html
Good luck, it mentions "Exchanging kola nuts, Tasting the Elements and a few other traditions. Check it out. You can also go to www.Ask.com and type in the information you would like to find and you will be surprised at how much information is out there.
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
Yopu can also search THIS SITE. We have over 400 articles dedicated to getting married. Why wouldn't there be one that covered this too? Look at this one: Sacred African Symbols or search the site for any other topic that interests you.
Thanks Rosetta, The Ceremony Sacred Symboles article you suggested was very informative. You were so right about the VIBRIDE site. Thanks for pointing us in this direction -- I also found the "Ethnic Vows" article which is just what I have been looking for. Thanks Rosetta for the resources that are provided here on this site.
