Here are some pictures of a traditional Fijian wedding that we attended on August 31st. The groom was Sisi's uncle. It was a lot of fun and we felt honored to be guests.

| Hour three of five hours of Kava drinking |
 |
| What Carrie didn't know was that every time she came over to me to get the camera the whole kava ceremony would stop, with the men looking off into space or at the ground until she left. No women allowed. |

| Women prepare the food, cassava and taro root here. |
