| The second youth from our church to get married was Katie. Katie lives next door to us and has become a good friend to our kids. This is their wedding invitation - don't you love the photo shopped pictures of their heads. What a hoot! |
 |
| All three of our girls were in the Give Away - aka traditional wedding. The girls got ready with the others in a hot, sweaty little cement house. |
 |
| Grace was in the first group this time wearing the traditional Ateso cloth. |
 |
| Lydia was in the gomesi group - the traditional dress here. |
 |
| Emalai was thrilled to be a flower girl in this wedding! |
 |
| Beautiful girls! |
 |
| Super fun to get dressed up in things you don't usually get to wear. |
 |
| Waiting for the party to begin... |
 |
| Emalai proud as can be to dance down the "aisle" with her friends. |
 |
| They love to play here! This is the "security" for the party. |
 |
| Going out again! |
 |
| A few people at the party! |
 |
| Katie and Anthony - Bride and Groom |
 |
| Beautiful wedding party!!! |
 |
| Makai endured by playing with friends, having treats and trying to stay cool. |

| Katie's church wedding. Her husband is what they call a born again Catholic - meaning he trusts in Jesus as Savior - so the wedding was done by the Catholic church. It was very different and interesting. My kids kept asking why do they do that, why do they wear that, why do they say that... Unfortunately it looked a lot like religion, rituals and rules. |
 |
| By the forth big event in two weeks (actually 5th because we had another separate one too) we were all a little weddinged out. Good thing we were not involved in this wedding. It was still good and important to be there to love and support Katie and our friends. |
 |
| Cutting the cake. |
 |
| I was called up to greet everyone. We never go unnoticed! They do appreciate when we come. |
 |
| Giving gifts. |
And for now we are done with weddings! So thankful and so glad rest!
