Traditional Zulu Wedding

 

A traditional wedding focuses on the marrying couple's heritage, and fuses culture and a party atmosphere to ring in a new marriage. It's all about incorporating traditions from both cultures, and often little consideration is given to the overall cost of the wedding.

The Zulu wedding can take many shapes and forms. Usually the bride changes at least three times on her wedding day, showing off to her in-laws how beautiful she is in different colours. Although it is not a Zulu custom for the bride to wear a traditional Christian white wedding gown, nowadays many brides prefer to do so. The wedding service takes place at the local church, and during this time the bride is dressed usually in white.

After church the wedding party moves to the bridegroom’s home. The bride changes into a traditional Zulu outfit. One of the highlights of a traditional wedding comes when the parties from the bride’s and the groom’s families compete with each other through the medium of Zulu dance and songs

Umemulo

Image
Umemulo is a traditional ceremony that commemorates the coming of age of a Zulu lady. It is a very meaningful ceremony as it marks the transition of a Zulu girl into womanhood, signifying that she is now ready for marriage. It is a  reward from the girl’s parents for "good behavior" or remaining a virgin. The Umemulo ceremony is carried out when a girl hits 21 years and signified by drastic changes as per the Zulu traditions and culture. This is done after Umkhosi Womhlanga.  The rituals involve slaughtering a cow  and the traditional Zulu dance Ukusina involving a spear and guests gifting the young female with money and there blessings.  Umemulo is not just a birthday party; it is a process that involves years of planning from the moment a girl hits puberty at around 13 or 14 years of age. Once a girl reaches 21 and having fulfilled her Zulu tradition obligation she can now prepare for her umemulo.
