    It isn’t a game or a joke. It is more so a tradition. I’m Ethiopian the same thing happened at my wedding. I think the meaning behind it is that the groom and his people have to fight their way in to the bride’s family home where she gets picked up. Traditionally, her family can not give her away just like that. The groom and his wedding party have to fight for her, so it is symbolic. This happens in every Ethiopian bride’s household. I hope the tradition will continue for the next generation. On this video, I didn’t see the wedding ceremony. I only saw the reception in addition to the bride being picked up from her family home. Usually the religious leader, either at the church synagogue, or a mosque assist the bride and groom to make a lifetime commitment and exchange vows. Why were you surprised? Ethiopian food is the best.

    I usually don’t comment at all but I really liked how you put together and summarized the wedding celebration and culture! Thank you for sharing 😊
    I saw multiple people mentioned the vows happen at church and that is true but it is not as simple as that. Usually you don’t see both in one wedding. A lot of couples choose not to do the vows in church. Couples choosing to get married in the Ethiopian orthodox church first find a confession father, confession all sins, learn about the church’s teaching in holy matrimony. All of these happen prior to marriage. Then on their wedding day, they take vows in church placing their hands on the Holy Bible, in front of the ark of the covenant, priests, deacons, their families and friends. This happens early in the morning before liturgy (kidase) starts ( like 5am if Kidase is starting at 6am). During Kidase they will take communion (Qurban)together and this what makes them one! It is very sacred ceremony. Anyone that is committed to their faith & future spouse can get married this way as long as they follow the steps. You are also supposed to maintain this (going to church at least on Sundays, doing confessions, and taking communion) as a life style after getting married. Most people just choose to opt out of all of this and just go to municipality office to get married and have a reception at a different day.
    The reason you won’t see both the orthodox church celebration and a wedding party/reception like this is the following. (This is where our tradition and religion differ) Taking communion, our lord’s flesh & blood is very sacred and the celebration that follows is with church songs not music/zefen. People don’t party or dance to worldly music after taking communion. Some folks decide to do the church part on like a Thursday and have a reception on Saturday or Sunday.
    I looked up this Ethiopian Orthodox Church wedding and I found this short video so you can see the process. In this case, the groom is a deacon. ruclips.net/video/1TfhENUY2kw/видео.htmlsi=um63XbK7-2csOCHH

    A vowel usually happens when the couples marry at church. All evangelical couples do vowels in front of the prist or pastors. it's believed that vowels, which are called covenants, are not only between the two couples but it's a belief system that they dedicate their marriage to walk with God as well and let God lead them.

  • @dashetesfaye7054
    @dashetesfaye7054 7 месяцев назад +2

    Was there no Church part for this wedding? The reason I ask is that for Ethiopian weddings, vows are called Kalkidan and are exchanged at Church (in front of God, family, friends and the priests/pastors)
    after the priest or the pastor officiates the wedding. The Church part is a very essential part of Ethiopian weddings. The Orthodox Church even has what’s called «ye teklil sireat/የተክሊል ስርአት" which goes beyond exchanging vows and includes taking holy communion. People who do this can’t divorce. Exchanging vows is also a very important part of Ethiopian Protestant weddings. The only wedding that I have seen (as a child ) that did not include Church or exchanging vows is one that happened at the city hall/Mazegaga/ማዘጋጃ during the communist Derg regime that claimed that there is no God.

    number of chicken, sheep and cattle slaughtered matters back in the day. the newly weds bragged about it. They said, 'oh, at my wedding we slaughtered 300 chicken'(if you ask me that's a massacre. genocide😳). Better kill a couple of cattle than 300 chicken. Kurt and Tej are popular at weddings. for the faint of heart the scene of people eating raw meat can be revolting. have you tried some? or anybody tried to give you a gursha and you questioned if there is some kurt(raw) in it? Well you know it's rude to say 'no' to gursha. Everybody assumes you're a habesha with that traditional cloth you're wearing. about wedding vows, in Ethiopia, you go to the city, sign a document then you're all set. Voila! Las Vegas style. they say, 'What happened in Vegas stays in vegas' I am surprised to see the bride and groom dancing . . . this was not so back in the day. They must remain calm. . .little movement except when walking and sitting. This is new to me. On a scale of 1-10 what's the magnitude of the culture shock you are facing in Ethiopia?

      @@Knox-n1i Most people in Addis at this point don't really care or have given up about the so called insurgence coming from the north whether It's the "Tigrayans/TPLF" or :Amharas/Sheno", they are tired and all they want is peace because of what has happened in the last 40/50 years and current and global inflation which is making life very hard for most people. I can safely assume the same thing for the people of "Tigray" or "Amhara". Despite popular historical belief, most people have resorted to just ignore the noise/negativity and pray to "God" or "Allah" to bring peace to their motherland.I am not say the current administration is perfect but at some point, we need to realize that "Peace", "Equal Rights" and "Prosperity as a whole" takes time to to learn how to forgive, let let go some resentment, and transit to just be one wholesome society to be able to appreciate what we have and grow together.

    Lady, do you really think.these Ethiopian Christians do not exchange wedding vows in a church? They do. They are not like many Americans who look forward to leaving God out of everything including weddings. Respectfully, if you are an American who belongs to certain Protest Christian denominations, we can understand why you think this lovely couple did not celebrate their wedding in a Church. With that in mind, please note that Ethiopia is in East Africa,. It is not in West Africa.

      What should black women with straight hair do with their hair? Curl it or cut it all off because it does not fit the « black identity» (assigned by who knows)?? You probably did not mean to be rude or condescending but please know that what Ethiopians find ridiculous or rude is other humans trying to put black women in a box and attempting to limit what they can and cannot do (with their own hair). This does NOT fly in ancient, historic and free Ethiopia that defeated colonialists at the battle of Adowa, will NOT allow anyone (other than GOD)/will NOT let other mere humans take away their freedom and dictate social norms for them!
      Ethiopians are an ancient and a self defined people and will NOT let other mortal humans define them, assign an identity to them or tell them what to do. The ONLY one that Ethiopians fear, submit to and obey is the Almighty GOD who created them in His image.
