Samuel and Sarafina Wed in Seattle

We are so delighted to meet couples from all over the world who marry in our home/office.  One of these incredible brides and grooms is Samuel and Sarafina from Ghana.

When Samuel called to arrange the wedding details, he asked if we had a place where he could change.  Yes, of course.

He arrived with his suitcase and ta-da ... this is how he looked.  Both he and Sarafina and their daughter are so striking.

It was great to see the transformation.  The ceremony took place on a rather chilly November day but inside we were warm and toasty.


Here is the family!
