Nthungululu azimayi!
George Phambala - Groom
Unbothered by everything wedding-related—except the budget. Very laid-back and prefers things in small doses. He gets grumpy when hungry. He’s adamant that he’s a great dancer, so everyone: please keep an eye out for his moves on the big day.
Panji Mulipa - Bride
Particular about everything (except the budget). Grumpy when tired, except when on holiday. She loves nsima and tea. She also loves to chat and is well known for her hours long phone calls.
Victor Kamwendo - Best man
George and Victor have been friends since childhood, by default, due to their parents being friends. You will not miss his presence (in a good way). Reliable and thorough. He does not like to wait (verify this at your own risk).
Mimi Maganga - Maid of Honour
The brides partner in crime for 25 years. She is the softest at heart and also laughs at everything. She loves food (if you need to bribe her).
Caution: She is incredibly protective of the bride.
Kia Banda - Groomsman
Kia needs no introduction! Life of the party, and flexible. After all, he's had to change his beard for this occasion. What more a show of love than to change your appearance for someone's special day.
Sabrina Jantuah - Bridesmaid
She's famous (in our circles) for her funny one liners. Methodical and sensible and a heap of fun.
She stands by her initial judgment of Panji.. " she's weird but she seems nice". This is your opportunity to ask her why.
Hope Chirengwa - Groomsman
Mr enjoyment; make a plan and he will be there. A treasure trove of stories and endless entertainment (and chaos). He will know where the drinks are.
Esther Mulipa - Bridesmaid
She is the brides middle sister. Quiet and reserved until you get to know her. Patient and caring. She is going nowhere fast but she will be there.
Wathu Phambala - Groomsman
The grooms nephew (and the grooms achilles heel). Lively and adorable, although now he is a lanky teenager, the groom is not "cool" enough for him.
Anita Mulipa - Bridesmaid
She is the brides youngest sister. Bubbly and always giggling. When asked to be a bridesmaid, her response was " as long as you don't make me do crazy dance choreography". You've been warned.
Chisomo Kumwenda - Flower girl
Full of personality and very friendly. She'll welcome you with open arms.
Ciara Nhlema - Flowergirl
Quiet and a little shy but otherwise an absolute sweetheart. Include her in everything to get the best out of her.
David Mulipa Jnr - Page boy
Not at all shy and you will hear him from the next room. Gogo is his favourite person after mum and dad got demoted. He's a cheeky little person with a big heart.
Nayah Kagodora - Flower girl
Very friendly and active but also loves a nap. She spends her time jumping in puddles and loves to dance. Offer her bread to truly win her over.
Mayamiko Uka - Flower girl
A shy little girl who is caring and loves to sing. Her dad says she loves cake but you might want to verify with her mum before you offer her some.
David Mulipa - Stepping in for Father of the Bride.
The brides brother. A busy body. Aside from walking the bride down the aisle, you probably won't see him in one place again for the rest of the day. He will have all the information.
Chimwemwe (Cece) Chirembo - Lady in Waiting
The fun aunt! She will instil order and then let her hair down like a totally different person. Likely to be found in the cutest outfit.
Joe and Nancy Bisika - The leading couple
Joe and Nancy Bisika - The leading couple
Nancy and the bride have know each other since high school and were roommates for a time. Coincidentally, both Joe and Nancy were in the same year with the groom at university. Nancy is full of energy and is always searching for a good time.
Joe is a music and photography enthusiast, so don't be alarmed if he helps out by taking photos of the fun.
