Somali weddings

Somali weddings hold a special place in my heart as it is filled with beauty. We wear a traditional dresses called “dirac”, a colourful mesh material with patterns, that is accompanied by a scarf called “gabarsaar”. My favourite thing has to be the desserts, I have to help myself to a lot, the one pictured bellow is called “shushumow” which is a biscuit glazed in a thick syrup (that hardens it). The main star of the show is the buraanbur, one of the traditional dances of my country.
