Yana & Abbie

Yana & Abbie - Wedding in Los Angeles on January 3rd 2016.

Photo by Milla Cochran www.theroseweddings.com - So honored to have captured an african/gabonese-chinese wedding. African/gabonese couples do this: they pour water or alcohol on the ground in each of the cardinal directions, meanwhile praying to the spirits of their ancestors. The act is supposed to provoke the spirits to pass on their wisdom to the new couple.
