Another First

We had the opportunity to attend a wedding on Friday.  I thought it might be a little awkward since we didn't know the bride, the groom, or either set of parents!   But they made us feel welcome and wanted!  It was quite different from our typical wedding...we opened and closed with prayer and a hymn; a spiritual thought was given before the actual  ceremony, and after the ceremony President Andi gave a blessing to the groom and then the bride.  Afterwards we were all given a box containing two rolls and a cup of water as we left the church :).    Oh...they place the ring on the right hand and when told he could kiss his bride the groom kissed her on the forehead...it's not acceptable to kiss on the lips in public!  A fun evening!!
