WEDDING OF AGNES AND ERIC MENSAH

wedding at the cathedral, the expectation is that all clergy are present so there were 4 priests and 1 deacon, last year I did not attend and I was asked many times...where was I so I learn the drill.
of course with such a service the electricity went off at 6am and so Mr. Generator to the rescue

for an 11am service, starting at 1130 not tooo bad start and I walk back in my door at 2pm. The rest of the clergy are still there and they have services tomorrow. Being a priest here is an endurance test for sure. What I found most unusual after the wedding was the fund raising for the couple, GC100 is shouted out by the MC and then who ever wants to give that much comes forward (Last week exchange rate was 3 GC for 1 Canadian dollar), then the amount goes down to 50 then 20 then 10 then 2 then 2 GC, there was also an offertory during the actual service. Its now just after 3 and I am home and the mother of the bride brought me food (a container with rice, salad and chicken with a can of pop) this is the standard meal at all events, maybe fufu (not my favourite at all) instead of rice and occasionally fish.
                  tasted great!!!

 new to me that when the bride and groom are going to sit down behind the table facing the congregation, they only move when money id put in front of them, hence paper on the floor
