A Chinese Wedding

by Cindy

We are so very fortunate that our small group is so culturally diverse.  It really is one of our favorite things about life in the UAE.  Recently one of the couples was married here in the UAE.  I'm guessing the wedding was a bit "westernized" compared to a traditional Chinese wedding, but either way, we enjoyed it all.

It was a church wedding, held at one of the church buildings here in Dubai.  The entire ceremony was in Chinese with the exception of our small group singing Great Is Thy Faithfulness in English.  While none of us are professional singers, the audience was kind enough to compliment us after our "performance."  It was certainly a unique opportunity and one for which I am very thankful.  Regardless of whether we can speak the same language, it is a joy to be united with people from all over the world because of our love for and our faith in Jesus.
