There is always something happening when I least expect!

Okay before I tell my church story let me share with you my "oh my are we having another revolution story." Yesterday, Romania voted on whether or not they should impeach their president. Now we all know that no matter what the outcome was, this was only the beginning to Romania's political problems Romania voted not to impeach their president. .
Anyways, last night I was getting ready for bed (at about 11pm) when I hear what I thought was gun fire. My first thought was that can't be a guns, can it? I ran to my window to see, and I saw a bunch of cars stop and then take off, all the while the noise continued. I walked out of my room and my roommate had the same look on her face, "are we having another revolution or something?" We both looked out the kitchen window and notice that in the reflection of the window of the hospital across the street, fireworks. As we stood there we soon realized that it was not a revolution or anything like that but it was coming from the football stadium across the street. Still don't know what the the fireworks were for.
This morning when I got up to go church, we heard a bunch of cars honking and so we looked out the window to see a limo go by, must be a wedding somewhere. I left for church and as I drove up to the church I notice a lot more cars then normal. And when I got to church I noticed that the limo I saw was at the church. There was a wedding at the church today!!!
Here is Romania they have civil service either the day before or morning before the church service. The church service is a celebration! There couple come in and sits up front and there special songs, poems and preaching done. It really cool be part of this. At end of the service the couple exchange vows and the church prays over them. And then we wish the well on road of the life. And then they leave the church and go to reception. (No kiss in the church).
So that was my day at church. Got to go to a wedding that I didn't know was going to happen.
This is what I love about Romania, something is always happening and most of the time I don't know until I am in the middle of it!
