The bride sits next to the groom, sobbing uncontrollably, a woollen blanket over her head to hide her puffy face.
It is 0300, the time that the village shaman calculated would be most propitious for the wedding. He also decided whom the girl should marry.

The rest of the village has been preparing the wedding for weeks.
