My first wedding!

Last weekend I went back to Nairobi (I've been back to Nairobi nearly every weekend since I came to Nakuru....I've just had things to do!) to be Lucy's date to the wedding!

The party that we had gone to a few weeks ago was the pre-wedding party, so this last weekend was the actual wedding! Both sides of the family are Kikuyu and Catholic, so the ceremony was held in a really huge, beautiful Catholic church...and it was entirely in Kikuyu so I couldn't understand any of it. Then we piled in personal cars and drove 20 minutes down the road to a field where there were tents and tables and chairs and cakes and traditional foods for the “after party”...which was entirely in Kikuyu. The whole day was really nice...but you can only sit in silent, ignorance for so long, ya know? People around me were laughing, though, so apparently it was fun! My first wedding ever was in Africa—cool!

When Lucy and I finally arrived back home, the Canadians were there! We stayed up most of the night playing one of my new favorite card games, Cadie. --mom and popo, we're having some serious tournaments this summer-- They needed a place to stay for their last 2 nights before heading back to Canada! I know that my last few weeks here will fly by...but a part of me envies them, of course!
