Felix and Sophie's Wedding -- or the Relief Society does it again!

Felix and Sophie were married in Libreville.  Sophie walks down the isle as the DJ adjusted the music to the wedding march.

Everyone awaits the entrance of the mayor, who also has his own music played as he enters.  He is a kind man, wearing his office as a sash.  The protocol office has us all stand -- we don't have to guess what to do.

Rings are an important part of the ceremony.  First each of the "marrying" show their ringless hand to the audience, then their partner places a ring on their hand.  Here Felix puts a ring on Sophie's finger.

 After signing, the couple signs, the witnesses sign, the mayor signs -- he has read the Gabonaise law governing marriage and blessed them.  Now, Sophie is Madame Sophie.

 A small group has been invited to the Church for the quiet celebration after the ceremony.

Chairs of honor for Felix and Sophie.
