Ruracio Dowry Marriage Ceremony :: Kikuyu Traditional Wedding
Ruracio Dowry Marriage Ceremony :: Kikuyu Traditional Wedding
Recently,Iwasluckyenoughto cover one of the unique Kikuyu Traditional weddings known as “Ngurario”. Though most African cultures have been adversely affected by western culture: There are few people, maybe I can say the cultural remnants who still observe the traditional rituals. I guess the young generation tries to avoid them due to too many complicated procedures as compared to modern weddings. It entails a lot of things, especially since the husband-to-be is expected to provide several things to the bride’s home as a way of appreciation. They include:
1. Young Goat (Mwati)
2. Sheep (Ngoima)
3. Lady goat (Harika)
4. Big sufuria (rurinja)
5. Basin (basin ya mabati)
6. I dozen cups (ikombe cia mabati)
7. Sword (njora)
8. Blanket (murengeti)
9. Two pairs of bedsheet for the father (macuka)
10. Coat (kabuti)
11. One small sufuria with a handle (gathaburia kena munyito)
12. Ten crates of sodas
13. Five crates of beer (njohi) etc
14. Lessos (marithu ma atumia)
15. I bag of sugar (ikunia ria cukari)
16. Foods and drinks for that day
