A June Wedding!

I received an e-mail from Sue Williams describing the wedding of her niece Laura Fieg on June 23.  The message is below, lightly edited, along with some photos of the ceremony and the program.  Enjoy!

Hi All,
It was one of the most beautiful weddings I have been to in a long time. Very nicely done! Laura made a beautiful bride! I think they are made for each other. Chief is a wonderful addition to our family. Laura's friend, David, did an outstanding job w/the music for the ceremony. He also got the bridal party to do a "flash mob" dance as a surprise for the couple, which was perfect!

Toward the end of the evening Laura and Chief changed into typical Uganda dress and performed a typical wedding dance that would be done in Uganda. The reception was great, food was good, music fantastic, great wedding cake, great wine (it was at a winery!), great family/friends gathered together.

For the family tree Chief's birthday is 7/17/82. And another note to mention is, just to keep it clear, Chief's "legal" name is Valentino (1st name), Kasibante (last name).  Mr. and Mrs. Kasibante leave for Cancun today [June 25] on their honeymoon. When they return Susan and Jerry [Laura's mom and step-dad] leave for Alaska, so Chief and Laura will "house/dog" sit for 2 weeks. Then I'm not sure what is on their list of things to do. However, Laura said that they will not be in Atlanta for Christmas 2012 because the airfare is too expensive. Only 2 trips per year is in the budget, and they have done those for 2012. Hopefully they will still be in Atlanta when Brian/Emily have their baby so they can meet their new niece/nephew.

Emily held up very well during the wedding. [Laura's sister-in-law Emily was about seven months pregnant at the time!]  She looked tired towards the end of the evening but she has a "mother's glow" about her that is beautiful! Can't wait to meet the next additon into the family!

Love to all........Sister Sue/Bro Ed/Aunt Sue/Uncle Ed/Cuz Sue/Cuz Ed

A few notes from the program:

The pastor was Daniel Latshaw and Laura's longtime friend Erica Ambrose was maid of honor.  Emily Fieg, wife of Laura's younger brother Brian, was among seven other bridal attendants.  Chief's best man was his good friend Jimmy Kiyimba and Brian Fieg was one of three other groomsmen.

Chief and Laura will reside in Kampala, Uganda where chief will be a pastoral intern and Laura will teach music.  They may be contacted on Facebook or at:  LauraKasibante@gmail,com or KasibanteChief@gmail.com. Letters can be sent to Laura Kasibante, Heritage International School, P.O. Box 7899, Kampala, Uganda.

What a thrill to welcome another member into the Fieg family!
