Day 39


Today was Calvin’s wedding day. Calvin is George (the housekeepers) son. Calvin has been a friend of Jim and Susie’s since he was one year old. Their wedding day was spectacular. I was in charge of taking pictures and getting Lillian (the bride) to the wedding one time.

I headed off to church this morning to get the car decorated. Two girls put bows and ribbon on the car. They finished it with a pink and purple flower boutique. After the decorations, I went home before picking up the bride. When it was time I hopped in the car and took off. When I arrived at Lillian’s she was in the midst of getting her makeup and hair done. She looked absolutely gorgeous!

There was no time to waste. We had to get to the church no later than 1:00. Well, we arrived at 1:02. Only 2 minutes late. That’s not too bad for a bunch of girls trying to get ready! When we arrived the bride maids were ready to head into church. The ceremony began. Calvin and Lillian started their new marriage together.

The reception started right after we took pictures. The wedding party walked into the room with African music. They danced to it with rhythm. The food followed shortly after. During dinner there were speeches. I had the privilege of reading a letter from Jim and Susie to Calvin and Lillian. They were very receptive to the sweet letter. I could see that it touched their hearts deeply to hear from Jim and Susie.

This wedding was lovely. Calvin and Lillian enjoyed their day to the fullest.
