When a wedding feast was cooked, the men gathered around to eat from the large trays of meat and rice. The following song was sung to them:

Our bread is sufficient, our house is warm Our sword is perfect!

Eat ye good men of God!

May it do you good.

After the men had eaten, the food was carried to the women, who had been sitting with the bride.
