Guests in muted colors were led to their seats by the ushers. The candelabras that were usually reserved for big mass were brought out and decorated to provide lighting to the venue. There was an atmosphere of mirth in the air as the guests arrived to congratulate Elder Lin and Lin Kang who stood at the entrance. Even though this was not an official wedding, since Lin Kang and Xiu Ling got married a long time ago, it was treated with the fanfare and aplomb of one.
