Last Spring, we had the privilege of being invited to a pretty swanky wedding. We’ve been to different kinds of weddings but this one was quite different. It was like a peak behind the curtain of the top 10% here. We were invited because the groom is a fellow trek guide. We run in similar outdoor guide circles and it’s not unusual to invite EVERYONE you know to your wedding here. We ran into hotel and guesthouse owners, other guides, and winery owners. It almost felt like a tourism convention where we could make more business contacts. Anyway, the wedding was quite different in that the food, venue, and entertainment was fairly refined (compared to other weddings we’ve been to). Enjoy the visual experience!
Notes:
The kids brought things to do, knowing that we were going to be there a quite awhile and hunkered down in a tent intended for guests.
Ephrem made sure to wear his utility vest so he could collect the free candy often served.
There is one picture of a table with men sitting and people giving money. It is expected that you will give a cash gift upon arrival to the wedding. Your name and amount you gave is cataloged.
So what were all the booths?
Hi! They were just places to sit and have snacks and talk.
