Gorgeous bride,
I hid the ring in the bunch of flowers and she has to find it,


Where is it ?

She found it,


After she found the ring, I put it on her finger



New life starting,

Nearly there,


She has the ring now,


Just married, then kissy kissy !!
It's the symbol of the "The bride's price", in the Malagasy tradition the young man has to pay the half bottom of the sheep stuffed with silver coins to her parents to get the bride.


Happy couple,
The bargaining is coming to an end, she is my wife now in the Malagasy tradition !!


Malabary (the long shirt), Lamba (the shawl), Satroka (the hat)

New couple,



Flavour of the Malagasy culture,


Valiha is the typical Malagasy instrument,

She looks good with my hat,


We are just married in the Malagasy tradition,



We look good,

My British lady dressed in a Malagasy way,



Hmmm, we are happy !!


My beautiful wife, she is lovely !!!
