Gettin' Hitched

Two of our good friends that are working in the city had been talking about marriage for a while. They decided they'd go get their marriage license before I left, and that they wanted Jeshica and I, along with others from their fellowship to join them. It's not everyday you bring 10+ friends with you to the justice of peace, but it made for some awesome memories.

Here's the bride and groom heading off on their e-bike to the hospital/marriage license department:The rest of us piled up in 2 taxi's, but these guys wouldn't fit so they willingly pedaled the 20 minutes to get there. We arrived ahead of the bikers, so we lined up in front of the building to give them a grand entrance:

While the lovely couple were getting health exams and filling out forms, Jeshica lead everyone in building pyramids and playing the human knot game (all in the waiting area)! :)
After an hour or so we finally got to go with them into the "sorta like a wedding chapel" place and hear them say vows to one another.It was really sweet. And we sang, "This is the day," as they were walking out.The certificate:They invited us all over to cook us a meal afterwards!And while they took another 2 hours to cook the meal I snuck around taking pictures of people falling asleep with this giant bear:Yay, dinner is served! Great meal, great people, great day, great Father!!!
