This weekend there was a wedding in our neighborhood. This is a look at what the tables were like most of the day. Packed.
Well, since 3,000 invitations were sent out these full tables would empty, then fill, and repeat. So my great wife was hard at work cleaning tables and doing a ton of other work!
One great thing was that the whole neighborhood pitched in to help. People packed gift bags, packed take-away meals, and everything in between. These guys washed plates for hours on end.
Which made these dish-drier dudes lots of stuff to do!
Here are a couple of friends. The one on the left is called Santa Claus by some folks but we're not really sure why. The other guy laughs with just about every sentence he says. Fun folks to be around!
This is the groom's dad. Not sure if you can see but in the background are stacks of gifts they give to the folks who show up. It was a big affair!
The bride and groom. Catching them smiling is a treat. Wedding pictures of people not smiling seem odd to Westerners but pretty normal here.
I'm not sure what this thing was supposed to be. Its a pineapple with sticks in it. Some meat kabobs. Some shrimp on a stick. In person it was just an odd thing to behold. But folks were excited to see it come around all us dish-handlers!!
So a great time had by all. Of course by "all" I mean "all the people who weren't paying for it!!"

These are amazing and the kind of pictures I have only seen in books. It is so awesome that you all get to see things like this when they're happening!!! I hope that the relationships being built are fruitful.
Makes some of our festivities look skimpy by comparison! What a great opportunity. You're good neightbors!
