Meylin and Damen's wedding 2010--Trilingual Wedding









Beautiful wedding!

Congrats!

You can't tell from the pictures, but this was a trilingual wedding. The wedding discourse was given in English, translated to Spanish and American Sign Language. The bride and groom exchanged vows that were in ASL and voice-interpreted to English.

The bride's family members all remarked how impressed there were to see the accommodations made to meet everyone's needs. This access allowed all to participate in such a momentous occasion of their loved ones.

Watching the Spanish interpretation reminded one of UN meetings; the interpreter wearing headphones, interpreting into a microphone or a device, and those receiving the interpretation wearing earpieces. Very well coordinated effort. And all was at no charge to the couple!!
