Douglas loves taking weddings and since being here he has missed having frequent weddings. At 3pm this afternoon we had another wedding at the church in Downham Market. This was rather different because the Bride is from Tiawan. The Groom is the son of one of our church leaders. The service was lovely with songs in both languages and readings from the Bible as well as from the Dali Lama. The parents of the Bride had to have translations as they were not familiar with English and we were all impressed at the Groom's skills in translating for his mother in law. The reception was held at one of our local hotels and the food was excellent as was the company. They even served South African wine. The Bride's father made a speech that was translated into English by the Maid of Honour, the Bride's sister. The Groom's brother, the Best Man, entertained us all with his delightful speech. We left before the music started but even so only got home at 9.15pm and as it was still light outside I had no problems driving from the church.
