Goin’ to the chapel and we’re gonna get married…

Colin and I attended a double Baptism, Confirmation, First Communion, and a Wedding all in the same ceremony. Togolese priests man, they do work! Our good friend and moto taxi driver Dieu Donné (“God Given”) got married to the newly received into the church Immaculé (“Immaculate”). Talk about a punny wedding. But it was really nice, nothing too different from our ceremonies. All you have to do really is cut out the fancy, overpriced costumes and garnishes and replace the alcohol with Tchuc. Oh and there is no cake as I found out to my dismay. But I was a guest of honor in the house partially due to the color of my skin and partially due to the fact that I had a nice big camera and could take lots of photos. I did a lot of the latter, especially with all of the children who kept peering into the room where I and monks/priests were eating our meal. I think I pissed off the director a little bit by egging the children on and making funny faces at them when he wasn’t looking. Naturally they kept coming back to the window to see me and he had to keep shoeing them away. Harmless fun, but I loved it.
