Marianne Bihomora dreamed of being married in a church ever since she and her husband, Stanislas, who is known as Stani, were wed in a small civil ceremony two decades ago. Since then, lack of money, turmoil in her homeland of Rwanda, life in a Kenyan refugee camp, resettlement in the United States and raising their six kids put the dream on hold. But when Marianne's 70-year-old father, Michel Mumyantarama, came to Columbia from Rwanda in August... it finally seemed like the right time...
Excerpt from story written by Christine Martinez for The Missourian. Martinez spearheaded a multi-media project, shooting photos, gathering sound and producing A wedding 20 years later. I helped with a few photos.

These are lovely. I think my favorite photograph is the one of the bride's father.
