6:30 AM Jon, with upset stomach, leaves to pick up family of the bride (16 people in our 9 passenger van) from a village a few hours away. He is given pounded yam and a warm Maltina for breakfast by family. Women in van practice their notorious chants/yells all the way.
10:55 Julie arrives at church. (Church is under construction.)
11:00 Wedding starts without family. (About 30 in attendance at this point.)
11:15 Family (and Jon) arrives but not worried they are late.
11:45 Window frame falls out of church window.
1:00 Wedding ends. (Total of about 200 in attendance by end of wedding.)
2:00 Reception begins (Julie escapes.)
Mid Afternoon-Jon returns family of bride to village
Night- Jon begins return to Jos with a big batch of furniture for newly married couple (including a now-soaked mattress due to the unexpected rain)
8:00 Julie wonders if she should send out search and rescue when there is no Jon-sighting. Decides she doesn't know where to search. Makes a bunch of grilled cheese sandwiches for the dozen kids who are in the house.
9:30 Jon arrives-completely worn out. Julie is relieved he is alive and well.
11:45 Last student leaves the house after hours of eating, playing games, laughing, and lots of talking.
11;47 PM We fall into bed. (I think Jon is willing to offer $ to our own girls to elope!)
