Anasgebam Sergena (“We won’t let the groom in”) One of the most exciting Ethiopian wedding traditions is the groom picking up the bride before the ceremony. The bride’s family and bridesmaids play defense while singing they wont allow the groom in, while the groom’s family and groomsmen trying to enter the home singing that they’re ready to pick up the bride. There’s playful banter, singing, and celebration to kick off the morning.
