Dr Ilaitia Delasau and Irene Kelemete
were married
on April 22 at St Mary's in the City, Christchurch. Ilaitia, a Fijian was
brought up Methodist in Fiji, and Irene, Samoan, comes from a very devout
Catholic family. Both Ilaitia and Irene have attended services at Glenaven
over a period of years, and they have been present for many of the high
moments in the life of that congregation. Both have graduated during that
time, he as a doctor and she as a dentist, and bothj now practice in Invercargill.
Many people in our parish rejoice with them in their marriage.
Many of are aware of the unwavering support of Malcolm Gould and Euan Thomson
for them both, especially for Ilaitia in the long and demanding journey
towards graduation. Malcolm was fittingly honoured at the wedding, and gave
a most moving speech at the reception. We thought it was worth tacking to
our website as a human testimony to a love that has not counted the cost
. .
