Andrew and Laura's wedding
He did it! One down, two to go.
We arrived home at midnight last night (1am by body time) from our week in the Dominican Republic. It was quite an experience--with many language and culture challenges for us, to say nothing of the feeling that we were taking your life in your hands every time we went somewhere by road.
The bride was even more beautiful than she normally is, the bridesmaids were lovely, Andrew had many of his college and grad school friends attend, and the wedding started only 7 minutes late. (This, actually, was a miracle, but I won't go into that just now.:-) The reception was top rate, if a bit more fiesta than our deadpan family is used to.
Pray with us that Andrew and Laura will put the Lord first in their life together, as they will face even more challenges than a "normal" couple with a cross-cultural marriage and living in yet a different culture in Ethiopia.

Most beautiful. Everyone.
Thainamu, is that an "up-do" in your hair?
Can you believe it?? Another thing I hadn't done in 40 years, along with a manicure and pedicure. All this primping was done in a language I only barely understand, which was hilarious. I especially liked the part where I asked for silver glitter polish on my toes and the girl looked at me aghast and said (approximately), "No. No para la boda."
