Dancing Groom ~ After receiving approval from his future father in-law to marry his daughter, the groom, Samuel Tembe, skips and dances back to his home in the mountains of Enga Province, Papua New Guinea, awaiting the date of his marriage.
•
Personal Notes: While on a @NatGeo story about sugar in the highlands of Papua New Guinea, I attended a beautiful ceremony where a young man named Samuel went to ask permission to marry his future bride. The most beautiful part of this event was when the he left skipping and dancing through one of the most beautiful landscapes, joyful for the future.
