💫 What is a Traditional Burundian Wedding?
A traditional Burundian wedding, called “Ubukwe”, is more than just a celebration of love — it’s a sacred union between two families, sealed with blessings, symbolic gifts, dance, and ancient rituals passed down through generations.
It’s a fusion of rituals, music, heritage, family, and symbolism – and every moment is rich with meaning.
