“Let the hawk perch, let the eagle perch, and if one tells the other not to perch, may his wing break,” said the eldest man from the bride’s compound as he blessed the kolanut before breaking it into pieces. Stately, he ate of it and then shared the rest with the bride and groom’s father and the eldest from the groom’s compound. The boys watched the bride carrying a wooden cup filled with blessed palm wine and searching for her husband-to-be among the sea of men trying to take the wine from her. Eventually she found her groom and she knelt down before him. He took the wine from her and drank from it before he allowed his bride to drink from it.
