On Saturday Leah and I joined her family and attended her cousin's Greek wedding. They tried to prepare me for the experience, and I was not disappointed.
Archbishop Demetrios came into town to perform the ceremony. Greek Orthodox ceremonies are highly symbolic. They repeat each element of the service three times to symbolize the Trinity. I also found the elements of the service to be quite Christ-centered.
The reception was at Carnegie Music Hall, where I had my first experience with Greek dancing. Let's just say I'm thankful that the video camera wasn't around at that point! I also learned that it's always a good idea to stretch first:)
Opah!
