The Himba people of Namibia have a special and unique way to take a bride to their house. They first kidnap a bride before the ceremony and then they dress her in a leather marriage headdress decorated with beautiful African jewelers. After the marriage ceremony she is brought into her father’s house where the family tells her what are her responsibilities as the wife and in the end they anoint her with butterfat from cows. This process of the wedding shows that she has been accepted into the family.
