#2 Wedding traditions in Namibia

Hi guys ! Still we are exploring in African culture, now in Namibia xD
Let us explore about their wedding culture by watching this video. I might say, this is quite sensitive one. Err. 

Youtube : Red skinned women (Himba tribe-Namibia)


If you're focusing watch this movie, the narrator said that the Namibians only get bathed once in their life, which is the day before marriage. You know what, every brides in the world will fully prepared about their wedding celebrations. They will be as pretty as they can. One of their culture there is, the bride wears a veil instead of a special hat, called a "ECORA" and which is made by goat skin, rubbed with tar, grease and red ocher. (Odd Stuff, 2012). Yeah yeah, it might look weird for us, but it is the best for them, indeed, no doubt.
