Give away is a party in Uganda, arranged by the parents of the bride, before her wedding. It is quite many traditional things happening through the ceremony. The man must go down and “find his match” among several women (traditionally the ladies we’re all covered up, so only the eyes were bare. I wonder how he could be so sure to point out the right one, unless they agreed she would do some secret signalling or something like that?... ;-) The lady serves food to the two families, establishing a bond between them.
I have been to some of these give-aways, without having much special connections to anyone in the party, but here, you often get invited anyway. After the cake has been cut, the formal part of the party is over, and for many, the disco part begins.
