Subscribe Before flying to Thailand for the wedding Justin and Kelly decided to officially tie the knot in Bangladesh. The embassy requires that an official sign the papers of the marriage certificate. The embassy gave them some phone numbers and they contacted a tiny Christen church. They could have had the minister come to the house or just sign the papers but they opted to have the wedding at the church. This must have been very surprising to the minister because they pulled out all the stops for the wedding .. of course Justin and Kelly had to buy some sweets and a few liters of coke for the masses that attended. The convoy of cars wound back behind the main road passed smaller and smaller alleys. Turning around did not become an option but eventually we pulled up to a very modest little church right next to a huge mosque.

Justin and Kelly ...... Elizabeth just loves a wedding
The kids were fasinated
The ceremony was partially in Bangla but mostly he spoke in a fabulously broken English. There was quite a bit of "what he say?" but in all it was a lovely experience. After the ceremony and the sticky sweets and coke, we went to our favorite Indian restaurant Bukarra for a few drinks.
All the women wore saris ...

The happy couple!
