Wedding Season

We'll be doing some catch-up posts, since while traveling and vacationing recently, we took a break from real life - including our blog. : )


It's that time of year... In April we attended two weddings in one week. On Saturday, April 25th, we attended the wedding of Sokheang and Rotha, friends from Phnom Penh Mennonite Church. Sokheang also directs the Men's Dorm. The wedding was held at the bride's home in Kompong Chnang, a province we'd never visited before. It was a good trip, with several Khmer friends joining us on the trip, and even more hitching a ride on the way home.


Weddings are a fun time to get REALLY dressed up and made up and socialize. Here's a table of friends having a good time at the nyam kaa (reception).


Here's a family photo from the day. Children don't usually get as decked out for weddings as the adults, and it was a good thing we didn't go to a lot of bother for Kai's outfit, since half of it came off as soon as we were done eating! It was a very, very hot day, but fun to celebrate with the newlyweds! Many blessings on your marriage, Sokheang and Rotha!

I think I shall send that boy a few shirts. He looks no better than his PaPa did at the Cultural Center wedding! Loved hearing from and seeing you all again
