We have shared before about some of the awkwardness of marriage in Vanuatu. Nonetheless, our family was honored to be a part of Sam and Leimawa's marriage celebration last month. The government granted me permission to perform ceremonies and sign marriage certificates several years ago, and so I had the privilege of officiating the ceremony. Shawnda tried her hand at (her first-ever) wedding cake, and Alexis enjoyed dressing up to be a flower girl. Being a part of these types of cultural events is something very special to our family.
