My friends wedding

My friend Colin McDonald, who I have known for about 35 years, got married May 26th in Kyrgyzstan.  He has been teaching English here in Korea for about 3 years now, and met his wife here.  She is ethnically Korean, but born and raised in Kyrgyzstan.  Most of her family is there, so that's where they had the wedding.  I was one of two best men.  Because it's the middle of the semester I was only able to go for a few days and didn't get to see much.


The wedding was held at a resort on Lake Issyk Kul, out on a pier which is barely visible in the photo below.  In the distance, what looks like clouds, are actually the snowy tops of mountains.
