A "Maryaj" in Haiti


Here is a picture of the church all decorated and ready.
This was our first time to attend a wedding in Haiti. The church was packed with people from shoulder to shoulder and the benches were as close as they could be. It was hot. There was quite the procession as the bridal party came in. And after 3 1/2 hrs the ceremony was over. (We only stayed for 3 hrs.)   :)
Kenslie got to sing in the wedding with the girls from her sunday school class. Rebecca (Wismiths wife) made her a dress, they were all supposed to have white dresses, pink sonks and hairbows, and black shoes.
This was quite exciting for Miss Kenslie.

(Maryaj is the creole name for wedding/marriage.)

Here is a video of the girls singing.
