Shaiza got changed into her third and last outfit for the reception – an incredible green beaded ensemble. It was incredibly heavy and I was worried she would fall over but this woman know how to wear this traditional costume. The reception was at the Orion Centre in Campsie for more than 300 people. Food, speeches and a ‘leaving’ tradition. The ‘leaving’ tradition is where close friends and family say goodbye to Shaiza as she is effectively leaving the family for good. It is a very emotional time and I felt very privileged to be there.
