and then he kissed her

The team from Crossroads Bible Church in Texas participated in a special service while in Chambellan.  On Monday couples from the church attended a marriage conference and then on Tuesday morning fourteen couples were married in a large ceremony at Chambellan church.  The team from Texas had brought in with them wedding dresses for the Brides to wear along with sets of rings for both the bride and groom.  It was a sight to see 14 brides getting ready all at the same time.  Something I’ll probably not soon forget.  One of the team members took wedding portraits and “kissing pictures” of each couples and printed them out to give to each couple.  The process of taking the pictures was quite hilarious and drew quite a crowd.

I also took pics of the process.  Here are some of my favorites:

People climbed onto the roof (using the stairs of course) to watch…

Amy,

Thank you for the pictures. I was just telling my boss about how Haitians don't show PDA. These are some of my favorites as well. And with regard to your 7/4 post, we all had a great connection with you as well. I personally did abtwa. I thank Him (and you) for your presence with us this week and look forward to see how He is going to use your time in Haiti.
We love you.
Cindy Lou

p.s. You won't like any other teams as much as you like us ;)
