There had been a bit of a problem because Roma's brother wanted to get married this year and evidently having two siblings get married in the same year is not acceptable because one sibling might get slighted - I think - at least that's the translation I came up with from the explanation. So Roma and Aaron were going to postpone their marriage - but then the temple is closing for four months and that would really put their marriage date down the line.
They worked it out that both Roma and her brother would get married in December. A hall for the reception was found, a friend of Roma's did the photography, another friend did the make-up, I made wedding skirts, another friend did her cake, the flowers were taken care, Roma got a dress.....so forth and so forth. Roma is a warm, sweet girl and it is easy to want to do things for her. She never asks - then again not many Filipino do. I actually love Jonah and will do whatever I can for her family. Roma is in her family. From what I could see, a lot of the wedding came from Aaron's family, Roma herself took the lion's share.
Jeffrey was asked to be a witness and we were a witness couple. We both felt very honoured to be asked but felt we may be usurping someone's place, but it worked out that Roma didn't have a lot of family that could go into the temple. Roma had help from all over. I thought it was all part of God's grace.
