Maria Bradford catered for her first African wedding in 2017 and it was a wonderful day and memorable day for all sorts of reasons. Not least because it was an honor and a pleasure to cater for her cousin Khadija’s wedding day, but also because the guest list included friends and family from the UK, US, Germany and of course Sierra Leone.
African Weddings
Since then Maria has regularly catered for Weddings in Freetown and London. Due to the sheer size and diversity of Africa, wedding customs vary greatly not just between countries but between local communities. There is a growing trend among African communities where wedding ceremonies and marriage processes are blending traditional customs with modern practices. Maria’s first wedding was an Islamic Wedding, but since then she has catered for Catholic Weddings, and traditional African weddings alike.
The image of this couple is so beautiful that we would like to introduce these two people:
Khadija & Malik – Mas Allah! The perfect couple
Mas Allah! You’re the perfect couple!
Both of you are like soul mates for each other and together you are so strong that no one can defeat you.
Allah! Keep them in your blessings!.
