The wedding of Esther 2..

Yesterday we went to the wedding of our staff Esther 2 (we had more than one Etshers). Most weddings are on Saturday and it takes the whole day. On the card was written that the church service would start at 10 am. But we are a bit longer in Uganda, we know that there is African time....so we went to the church at 12.30 and there were not many people yet... At 12.50, the groom came in with his best man and the bride arrived at 1.30 pm. There was a lot of singing clapping and shouting, a lot of excitement for the young couple. They looked beautiful and very happy. Esther looked very bright and she was a smiling bride!! Very often they are very tense and serious, but Esther was just herself and relaxed. The whole ceremony was in the church and even the reception was there as well. There was food for the entire congregation and everything was finished around 7 pm.
Esther we wish you and Paul, God's blessing as you start your life together!!! and we are happy that you will still work with us in Amecet........
