To Wedded Bliss

Im flying solo right now because Jared at the moment is hard at work building our house in the tribe. So this means I need to put my procrastinating tendency aside and attempt being organized. I planned plenty of time to get myself and the kids ready for a friends wedding. Despite my best efforts little did I know Israel would spill juice all over his clothes seconds before walking out the door. Our dog would decide to chase a pig when I opened our gate to leave. Which translates me running up our street in heels with a baby strapped to me trying to catch him. And a motor bike that wouldn't work. Granted I did leave the keys in the ignition the night before. Moving on, it was a crazy day and I need my husband back home! 

All the stress was worth it because tonight I got to see a beautiful couple commit their lives to each other in front of family and friends. Gloria and Andy have dated for eight years and dare I say somewhat the modern day Romeo and Juliet. You see Gloria is Papuan and Andy is Indonesian. While I realize this statement probably means very little to you. You have to understand that saying this entails  so much more than what appears on the surface. Underneath it lies decades of warfare, death, and fierce opposition.

Its frowned upon by both cultures to intermarry. But despite family disputes and cultural differences tonight they stood side by side and devoted their lives to each other. It was a sweet moment that I felt privileged to share and be a part of their special day.

Im not sure who is having more fun;)
