Our Thai staff friend, P'Fawn, got married on November 1st. It was fun to see what a Thai Christian wedding is like (probably a lot different than a wedding of not-Christians).
The bridesmaids and other girls in the wedding party were just asked to wear pink... so they all had different pink dresses. They all got ready together before the wedding -- just like in America!

The invitation said the wedding would start at 10:00am. But here it is at 10:34am, and still no wedding...
There she is! P'Fawn, the beautiful bride (being walked down the aisle by her dad).
We are looking at the inside of Thai Lanna Church, P'Fawn's church. The pink/white lettering says the names of the bride and groom and the date of their wedding. It is made out of painted STYROFOAM, which is SO THAI. I can't think of a conference or event we've attended that did not have decorations made out of styrofoam. When we came to the church the night before to "help out," none of those flower arrangements had been assembled. P'Juum, another staff friend, pretty much stayed up all night long making them.
During the wedding, all the pastors who spoke during the wedding came and prayed for the couple, and all the Christians in the congregation were invited to pray also.
And then I got to sing at the reception! It was a fun day.
Our team with the bride and groom!
