Weddings are not new to Urukundo. The family came to rent the space and found HMR House was not the size they needed. After checking for a larger space, they came back and asked if they could use the soccer field. Management was concerned because we are in the rainy season, but we try to help and permission was granted.
A wedding tent twice the size of the HMR House was erected on the soccer field. The view from the top of the mountain gave a perfect photo of the beautiful countryside. The small tents on the field were used to serve food buffet-style to the bridal party and guests.
These four special chairs in the center of the tent were for the bride, groom, best man, and maid of honor.
This is only half of the seating arrangement in the tent.
This wedding included families from Rwanda and Congo. A very large family. Weddings in Rwanda are usually family reunions, so as many as possible come to meet and greet. Many have not been together for years, making a wedding an especially happy occasion.
Urukundo was pleased we could accommodate this wedding..
