Saturday, we drove east of downtown for a traditional Ethiopian wedding of the sister of a guy who works for me. We showed up at the time on the invite and the couple of people at the church said 'Oh, you white people are always early' An hour later it started. We understood to be an hour late to the reception a long way aways from where the wedding took place. The reception and wedding were actually larger and nicer than what is here but the spirit is close. We left at 11:30 and they still had not cut the cake or finished with an hour long wedding party dance. It was well worth going, if you ever get invited to such things.
