The time has arrived...just minutes from now we will be married...
Handsome Page Boy and Beautiful Flower Girl
Choir is in place
Here we go...
I'm ready...let's go!
Bridesmaids and groomsmen taking the long walk
The laptop that Derrick is holding was broadcasting the wedding to whoever logged in to see it live. We really did it for my dad but he found a program that allowed up to 12 people to be logged in at the same time. I believe there was 11 different people on at one time. Thank you God for technology. Thank you to those who woke up at 3am to see the wedding!
Looking for his bride
Here we go...
We did pretty well with not crying too hard...haha!
Also, love my sister with the camera behind us. In Uganda the
Matron follows the bride to help with the dress.
My beautiful sister
"Does anyone object..."
Mom giving me away on behalf of her and dad
Saying the vows
"With this ring I thee wed..."
(At least I think that's part of what we said)
Love this picture with Dominic peeping through to see.
You may kiss your bride
After we said our vows and exchanged rings we kneeled in front of the church and God
and they had all the pastors and parents come forward to pray over us.
The pastor who married us...never met him before this day and
couldn't tell you his name if you paid me.
Listening to the sermon
Our beautiful daughter
Our handsome nephew
Going over to sign the marriage certificate
They do an offering at the end where everyone can come
congratulate us and put an offering in the basket.
And that's it...we're off to the party!
Love this picture my mom snapped as we were leaving.
Some of our Karamajong children jumped in front
of us for the procession out.
Us with the "parents". On my side is my mom, Pastor Philip and the Inspector of Schools from Karamaoja.
On Abdu's side are his aunts and other women who have been mothers to him throughout his life.
This picture is supposed to be all the "friends" that were present.
Saved to Serve Worship Centre members
(our church)
Ezekiel 37 sponsored students, mentors, and pastors.
That's all folks...on to the gardens for official pictures and then the reception...
