Wedding Crashers

With our host parents César and Milagros

By Alisha

October was a month of weddings for Micah and I. First our host parents decided to tie the knot after being together for around 15 years. Even though Peru is around 85% Catholic our experience has been that many couples do not get married before living together and having children. This may be due to a lack of social pressure to get married or that idea that many men do not want to be tied down my marriage.

We then traveled back to the States to visit family and because Micah's dad got married! We had a really nice time visiting friends and family in the States. We drove through Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota seeing as many people as we could in the 10 days we were back. Congrats Jim and Kim
