This happy Christian couple just got married at the church and then they had a big reception at a hall in town. If you notice, the lady friends of the bride and groom who aren't the bridesmaids are wearing dresses made of the same fabric. It is a customn for the ladies to make dresses of the same fabric for important feasts. The youth choir also made their clothes from the same fabric. For the Jola, doing what the group is doing is more important than individuality. Wearing the same clothes is a form of solidarity.
