Caravan caters for last-minute brides in Harare
Inside a rusty old caravan, brides-to-be try on gleaming white wedding dresses whose pricetag would normally put them way out of reach.
Parked to the side of a Harare courthouse where couples go to tie the knot, the caravan even enables brides to get fitted on the way to getting wed.
It's not exactly something borrowed -- the business is a commercial venture, hiring out wedding dresses, bouquets and decorations.
But in Zimbabwe, plagued for decades by poverty, unemployment and high inflation, the rental service is an affordable godsend.
Brides can have their hair and make-up done too before heading into the Magistrates Court to make their vows.
Typically, Siwardi has up to six customers a day.
Brides arrive first thing to prepare for their big day, before meeting their groom outside and going to the ceremony, she says, sorting through a rail of Chinese-made gowns.
The white-roofed caravan is one of three offering similar services outside the court.
