" Xhosa Wedding traditionally starts with the Ukutwala which means the groom's family have made a bridal-choice for him and taken her to his family house. Here she will wake up the next morning. This friendly Ukutwala is the beginning of the betrothal process. Now the lobola (dowry) negotiations can start with the bride's people and the amount depend on the bride's desirability, the family's wealth and status plus the benefits of the marriage. The traditional lobola (dowry) amounts to 8 cattle heads. On a specific day at the groom's house, sacrifice will be made to the ancestors for blessing by slaughtering animals, and whoever wishes to join in are welcome. The wedding is a happy occasion, celebrated by the community and lasting days at both the family homes. The end of the occasion is called the Ukucanda ibala, which is the walking together of the couple down the main road. Nowadays they often start in the church formally, with the bride wearing white. The families then host receptions with or without the ukutwala - always creating a surprise factor. "
