Marquito and Anna Silvia's wedding
Marcos Fernandes Pereira Raccioppi and Anna Silvia Tosin have at last got married. This day was one of the happiest and best in our years here. We have been through all kinds of moments with this couple and the bonds of friendship have become very strong. Now they are married, and we rejoice with them, and pray for God's blessing on their future.
The wedding and period leading up to it was significant in the amount of contact with the two families, for which we are very thankful. May God use this for his gracious purposes.
Andrew preached picking up two key points from the Pharisees' and Saducees'questions in Mark 10 and 12: Marriage is for Life and Marriage is not for Ever. The presence of many spiritist-leaning people made the second point sensitive, and it provoked some interesting conversations after the service.
This wedding was also significant for us as a church. Although Daniel and Priscila last December were both attending Peregrinos, this is the first time that two long-standing members have married one another. We are expecting some more weddings though, so watch this space!
Windblown and happy
Elisa and Mila: two of our various adopted children
Peregrinos suffering in the cold wind while hoping for the Bride and Groom to come for a photo on the beach.
Kito and Anna with Solomon, who sang, impromptu, at the wedding.
Anna and her sisters. (Sounds like a film title...)
The Registry Office on Friday 10 November. The legal part was done here, with a sumptious high tea at Kito's mother's place afterwards.
There are more photos here.
