The Church in Lower Perahori was filled with the many invited guests. There were so many people, many waited outside while the ceremony took place |
|
Leigh ann and Rotheis looked very relaxed and sparkled throughout the ceremony as their vows were taken in front of their families and friends. As is common with most weddings on the island, someone faints from heat exhaustion, but not at this wedding. All remained upright throughout. The social noises of the congregation got a little overwhelming for the Priest, so he took advantage of his position by insisting on some quiet through the ceremony. |

The Vows |

The rice throwing tradition was a little more aggressive than others as the congregation bombed the couple, the Priest and the Koumbara as they circled the alter. |
|
The families decided to accept congratulations outside the church, which made the wishes for good fortune in their futures, a more comfortable experience for everyone. The narrow village road then led guests and family north, to the village of Stavros, for the Reception at Mazourka Estate...but only after some clever manoeuvring the get cars out of the tight corners they had parked in, so they would be near the church and not up the mountain side of Perahori. |
