I believe I see Rachel G. and Grace E. So how did the 1st wedding go? How do you say, "You may kiss the bride" in Swahili? Actually, I guess I don't need to know, but I hope you did! What a happy group of people!

Well, those are about the only two faces that I would figure that you would pick out. The wedding went well. I actually didn't have to even say "You may kiss the bride," because they were already pecking one another on the cheek by the time the last words came out. It is only in a wedding, in fact, that you will see a man and woman kiss in public. The bride and groom try to keep dead-pan faces the whole time, in order to show that they are sad to be leaving their parents, but it is very fun to watch them sneek little smiles and smirks throughout the service and reception.

Thank you for posting the picture!
