Our First Haitian Wedding

Ron and Vanessa Watson are a godly young couple that we just adore!

Ron is the World Orphans OVC program Director and Vanessa serves as one of our interpreters for short term teams that visit. It has been a joy to watch their relationship develop and mature over the past year, and to be present for their special day.

The couple wanted to symbolize their support of the merging of cultures through their wedding ceremony, and both Emma and Natalie, along with another American friend, Jenny were among the bridesmaids for Vanessa. Ron's American friend, TJ, stood up as best man. 

All of us learned a great deal about Haitian wedding traditions, and the girls experienced it first-hand.

Here a few highlights of the beautiful event:

We all enjoyed a fancy night out together celebrating the newlyweds. Ted was videographer for the event, so watch for the video posting soon. SPOILER: the couple's musical talents are impressive!
