dragoste și iubire

as aforementioned, sunday we went to sera's wedding! he's the physical therapist in section 2, and was ever so kind to invite us to come join the celebration.

we could probably make the longest list in the world of reasons why teo is so wonderful, and this weekend just added to the list. let's just say, romania has made me incredibly grateful for utah's grid system for the roads. and i wish everywhere had that system. romania's a little less than organized in that regard. so, if we had been left to our own devices, we probably wouldn't have made it to the wedding before it ended. but thanks to a call to teo, she helped us by telling the taxi driver where to go. our problems: 1. we didn't know exactly where we were going, we just had the name of the church written down.  2. even once we decided to take a taxi instead of trying to walk, there were slight issues in helping the taxi driver know where to go. then enters teo to save the day!

the wedding itself was an interesting experience, and definitely different than anything i've ever been to. it was combined with the normal church service, i think. or it seemed like it, at least. with a whole lot of musical numbers, scriptures, prayers, and talks of well-wishers. all within a big and humid room. like, really humid. we were a little tired. but it was good. and the choir? they don't mess around. i was surprised when they first started singing, because it was so loud and powerful. while the acoustics of the building probably helped, it was still incredibly impressive. america should take notes. also, the couple was beautiful. and the bride? so very pretty.

a few photos from our adventures getting there, and at the wedding.

 hahaahahahahahaha. that's all i have to say about this moment of our romanian experience. ahaha. ha.

 this guy had the best musical number.

songs about love, by a guy playing the accordion and singing? so classic.

 please take note of how exhausted everyone looks. ha.

 steve carrell! haha. kidding. but he looked and acted like a darker skinned version of him. almost creepily so.

just another beautiful sunday in romania.
