In Kenya, groomsmen go to the bride’s family’s house to negotiate to bring the bride to the ceremony – which can create a challenge in terms of the start time for the wedding. That means nothing to a Kenyan, but to Americans that have to get to the Nairobi airport (3 hours away) in time for one of them to catch an international flight, it can be a relevant issue.

In the mean time, the children patiently await the bride – perfectly behaved and enjoying the wait quietly.
