Drew, Leslie, Eliana and Jadon: Wedding Fun!

Yesterday we had the chance to go to a wedding, which was a first for both me and Eliana. It was a fun experience and I'm really glad we got to go, however, I was okay with leaving as well because I was beginning to wonder if I might get permanent hearing damage from the loudness of the music. I cannot adequately communicate in words how loud the music was. It is beyond anything I've ever experienced besides the Lifehouse concert I went to and stood right in front of the stage and speakers. There is no way you could have a conversation with anyone and when Drew and I talked to each other it was literally right in each other's ears. It was crazy! Somehow Eliana managed to sleep for a little bit though which amazed me. I was thankful though. We did leave early because she was exhausted and there was no way to get in a real nap but she still did great.

Here are some other observations that are different about weddings here compared to the US:

There is a lot of dancing and most people actually join in. Please note that both Drew and I got out and danced but both of us were kind enough to not capture that on film!
There are a lot more women in the crowd than men.
There was a professional dancer entertaining everyone. She even got Drew up and danced with him (after much trying to refuse her by Drew). It was a little awkward.
Throughout the event they stopped and had people give speeches.
The bride and groom remain very solemn throughout the event and the bride even keeps a look of sadness on her face as she bows her head over and over.
There is a ton of food that just keeps coming and coming.
The music is LOUD!!!!

So yeah, we had a good time and are thankful we got to go. Enjoy a few pictures and videos from the event! (The professional dancer is the lady in yellow!)
