The female and her handmaidens will then prepare for when the day will be declared; the bride will be wearing her wedding garments day and night everyday until the wedding is officially over. Now when the male's patriarch finally declares when the day of the wedding is, then the families of both the bride and the bridegroom will exchange gifts and in some cases had built an entirely new house for both families to live in. then the families of the bride and bridegroom and their guests will surround them in an octagon shape, and a priest will offer a sacrifice for their atonement and then have them recite their vows and after the sacrifice has been made then they are officially husband and wife.
