Godparents: that's a first!


Emma and I were asked recently to be "Godparents" for our good friends and recent intern graduates, Nicu and Claudia Carstea.

Here in Romania, every couple chooses another couple that they are very close to, to be their godparents. The role of the godparents is to first be witnesses at the civil wedding ceremony. But they are also looked to for advice and support throughout the years of the couple's marriage. We are so honored to be godparents for this wonderful couple.
