Love is a beautiful and special passion and marriage is symbol of love. Marriage is celebrated in unique ways in different parts of world. In Massai tribe of Kenya, you can't choose the love of your life; it is believed that elders know best hence your parents decide what is better for you. One week before the marriage a wedding meeting held without consulting the bride or her mother. In which both families agree. On the wedding day the bride dresses with colorful necklace with beads and shells. Massai people cut the hairs from bride's head and applied lamb fat and oil on her head the father of the bride blesses her daughter by spitting on her head. Massai nation thought that spitting bring good luck for bride. She then leaves with her husband and does not look back due to fear of turning into stone. The husband doesn't stay with her in the house in which she stays for the next two days. Her mother-in-law commences the wedding ceremony and declaring them husband and wife by shaving the head of bride.
