We attended the wedding of this young couple. The groom, Isaac Thomas, is a member but the bride, Petra, is not. Before she can get baptized they have to get married. Many converts have to get married before baptism here. They have a "cultural marriage" but it is not a legal marriage.
President Antolok, the Uliga Branch president, performs the marriage of Petra and Isaac.
Sister Jones and I were treated as guests of honor at the wedding. We sat at reserved seats at the head table and ate first after the ceremony. Also, Sister Jones was given gifts by the bride and Elder Jones was given gifts by the groom.
