For first-time guests
New to a Kuhingira?
A short guide for friends joining us for the first time.
What is a Kuhingira?
It is the traditional ceremony where the bride's family formally gives their daughter to the groom's family, in the presence of relatives and friends.
Who are the Abakwe?
The in-laws: the groom's family and the guests who come with them. They are received with honour and seated together.
Why the milk pots and cattle?
Ebyanzi (milk pots) and the long-horned Ankole cattle are at the heart of Banyankole heritage. They stand for care, wealth and the home the bride is going to build.
Should I bring a gift?
Gifts are welcome during the speeches and gifts. Many guests also contribute ahead of the day; see Contributions below.
