Family wedding at Orator Hotel, Samoa

Back from a quick trip to a weekend family wedding in Samoa and it was such a blessing to be there with my parents and cousin's with their children to witness such a special occasion.

It was my boy cousin's daughter's wedding held at the Orator Hotel inland on the island of Upolu, Samoa. Growing up our mothers were very close as sisters but sadly my auntie died many years ago before she could have witnessed such a beautiful occasion but believe that she was there in spirit.

It was a beautiful outdoor wedding with tropical Samoan weather. The pic here is of the ceremony where the officiating marriage celebrant shared the vows with the couple, family and friends.

A wedding reception was held in the banquet hall nearby for all the formalities of speeches, cutting the cake, more speeches, dinner, and dessert as well as a bit of dancing too. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stay the whole night but it was an enjoyable time for all.

So now I'm looking forward to attending the next family wedding that's to take place and maybe, just maybe, it will be again in Samoa.
