CULTURAL

The best story you will ever tell is yours. It will be best told in VIDEO!

Verxel Arts covers Cultural events such as Ichilanga Mulilo, Amatebeto and Kitchen parties or Bridal Showers. Ichilanga Mulilo can be loosely translated as showing fire.

This is to free the future husband to eat freely at the in laws’ house.

It is repeatable depending on the wife’s family. However nowadays, most people combine the Amatebeto and Ichilanga Mulilo as one event.

Kitchen Party or Bridal Shower is when the bride to be is presented with numerous household gifts especially kitchen ware. Family members from all sides and the couple’s friends come to the party to show support to the bride. This is usually a ladies day out where invited guests learn ways of building a successful relationship and marriage.
