Megan and Roel's Wedding

I had the privilege to stand in the wedding of Megan Hollon and Roel Cuaresma. I met Megan when I attended GBS in 2005. She and I were also roommates on our trip to Guatemala in 2007. We have a lot of memories from that trip, mostly memories of laughing but also a few tearful memories. I still laugh when I think of some of those times. Like the time we four girls were trying to cross a still which was flowing with two feet of muddy rain water. Or when she and I had to take a tuc-tuc home because it was pouring rain. The driver over-charged us and then the tuc-tuc kept stalling on the drive home.
Those are memories that I hope I never forget. Thousands of miles from home or just a few miles away, Megan has given me an amazing friendship. She cares deeply about people and has never shown a bit of selfishness to those around her. I'm so happy for her and Roel! They both deserve the best!
Here are a few pictures from their wedding.



The wedding colors were Green and Ivory
