Why There & Then?

How was it decided?
到底是怎麼決定的?

我們婚禮的地點,是蒂芬的父親牧會了十七年的教會,而這個新的禮拜堂於 2010 年落成。蒂芬與其弟歆頌在這個教會長大,去年歆頌也在那裡完成終身大事。這個場地可能對婚禮來說嫌小,早到會比較有可能有好位子,請大家包涵。

The venue of our wedding ceremony is where Tiffany’s father serves as a pastor for the past 17 years. This new building was finished in the year of 2010. Tiffany and her brother Simon both grew up in this church, which is also where Simon’s (and the other Tiffany’s) wedding was held. We apologize that this place might be a bit too crowded for our wedding ceremony, and it’d be more likely if you arrive early for better seats.

結婚的時間其實沒有什麼好選的。韡函 7/24 與 7/30 各有一場音樂會 (歡迎大家去聽!),所以在那之前不可能,在那之後的  8/2 也不可能。又,韡函的學校 8/18 就開始新生訓練,我們必須在那之前回美國然後搬完家… 所以只剩下一個日子,沒啥好選的… 我們 8/11 就會離開台灣,所以也希望可以透過婚禮見見許久不見的朋友們。可想而知,這個行程有點瘋狂,也請為我們代禱。

In fact we don’t really have an option in terms of the date of the wedding. Wilbur has two concerts on July 24 and July 30, respectively (hope to see you there too!), so it’s impossible to have it beforehand or right after. Also, Wilbur’s orientation for the new program starts on August 18th, which means we will have to be back by the States and be done with moving before then. So there’s only one weekend left… We will depart from Taiwan on August 11, so we sure do want to see you at the wedding before that. As you can see, this itinerary is rather crazy. Prayers would be very much appreciated.
