On our first day Doug took me sight seeing and I got to see the places he used to live and work. Then Doug had a part in the wedding ceremony so we had to go to the wedding rehearsal. After the rehearsal we all went to this beautiful old victorian house that had been turned into a buffet style restaurant. The food was delicious!
On Saturday we woke up early and headed to the Coke Factory. Normally it costs $15 a person but we got lucky because it was their 2 year anniversary and the first 2,000 people got in for just $2! The factory was awesome. We got to taste coke from all around the world like 65 different sodas. Some of them were gross and some were awesome. China has this yummy sour apple soda that I loved. South Africa had a candy flavored soda that Doug liked. I wasn't a fan because it tasted like banana flavored runts. There was a drink called the Beverly from Italy that was totally nasty! We even let Aila had a few tastes of some of the flavors and she loved it. We got to meet the coke bear and we saw a really neat 4D movie where the chairs move and you can feel stuff like wind and water during the movie.
On Saturday night we had the wedding. The church was decorated beautifully and the ceremony was great. I couldn't take any pictures because they didn't want any flashes when their photographer was taking pictures. After the ceremony we went to the church's reception hall which was also decorated beautifully and dined on a buffet of fruit and sandwhiches.
On Sunday we went to visit some good friends of Doug's. They were like his second parents when he lived in Georgia. They worked with him at his trailer park ministry and they were the sweetest couple ever. They have started a home church and we got to go through a study of "Experiencing God" with them which was neat because we actually met Henry Blackabee, the author of the book, at the wedding the night before. We had fun hanging out with them and their son and daughter-in-law.
Then we headed back to the camp where Doug had a ton of homework and studying to do (be praying for him because he has his finals this week). We took a break to go out to dinner at Buffalo's Cafe. Doug called it Butt food cafe because he didn't like his burger but my food was yummy. In fact, there was not a single thing I ate in Georgia that I did not like! They have good home cooking down there. Way better than the spicy sea food you find everywhere in Louisiana!
