A ''mpikabary'' is a person proficient in the art of kabary. A mpikabary is often hired to represent a bride or groom during meetings between their respective families prior to the wedding. In case a family does not like the words or the proverbs used by the other family, the entire wedding can be called off.
In kabary the main central point of the discussion is always avoidedin direct words. For example, during a kabari at a funeral, the name of the deceased cannot be mentioned.
