Journal of the witness Polo - after marriage (Day 1)
Today I had the honor to stand by the right side of Governor Babida not as his henchman but as his witness for his marriage with the beautiful young maiden Suzie.
The event was held on the coast of Okunde's river in the afternoon. Although the weather was hot everywhere else in the village, the ceremony's venue seemed to be cooled down by the freshness of the fountain of Ebuka, the god of purity.
The wind was mild and leaves bowed before us as we reached the edge of the way that led to the riverside.
General Dipi was the occasional priest. He was asked by His Highness Babida to take the role just a few hours before the wedding ceremony.
The Superior officer Dipi was just coming from the imperial city of Ekule with a thousand-men battalion entrusted to him by His Majesty Batang V.
