The habesha kemis is the traditional attire of Habesha women. The ankle length dress is usually worn by Ethiopian and Eritrean women at formal events and weddings.

“Habesha” refers to people who come from Ethiopia or Eritrea in East Africa (at the horn of Africa). So a Habesha wedding is simply a wedding celebrated from these parts or by the Habesha people.
