Sierra Leone Weddings: Stephen and Rachael married in Sydney, Australia

Mr Stephen & Rachael Kamara in Sydney, Australia
Stephen and Rachael met at a mutual friend's house and she says that although it was not exactly love at first sight, Stephen invited her to a prayer meeting and, well, the rest is their story. 

Two months later they they got engaged and after surviving 1.5 years of ups and downs, the couple finally set a wedding date for 01.11.2014. 

Rachael's mum catered the food and made the cake and their pastor married them in a beautiful rose garden in Sydney, Australia.

They went with an old style theme with the vests, suspenders, old cars and high tea reception that was simple but elegant. They also mixed in the Salone culture with the traditional Africana dress, calabash and drums.

It was definitely a wedding to remember filled with love, tradition, laughter and God's blessing. The couple says they are so blessed to have had a wedding that mixed both their cultures something they hope to one day show their children. They will hold these memories dear for the rest of their lives.

Ladies and gentlemen this is the Sierra Leonean & Australian wedding of Stephen & Rachael. Meet the Kamaras!
