Wedding
We've come full circle. An engagement, October of 2003. A breakup that almost ended it all in February 2004. Reconciliation in March. And now a wedding in December. Iraq couldn't keep them apart. They survived when so many other couples lost love forever.
The ceremony was small - only about forty attending - but it was a moving experience. It could have been bigger, it could have been extravagant but there wasn't a need. What we experienced was wonderful in it's own right.
The two of them were incredibly calm - more so than the parents.
The superintendent of the school where the ceremony was conducted officiated for them. She said that the two of them had impressed her with their concentration on marriage and not on the wedding when they had met to discuss the ceremony. They knew exactly what they wanted in life and had no idea what they wanted for a wedding.
