BST’s Director of Admissions, Ms. Lia Rochill, has a wonderful reason to celebrate! This 2019 Master of Divinity graduate and BST staff member was recently married in a beautiful ceremony right on the BST campus!
Lia met her future husband, Leokato Yepthomi, through a mutual auntie. What began as a friendship blossomed into a three-year long-distance relationship before Leo popped the question! Lia and Leo were married on Saturday, October 25, in a beautiful outdoor ceremony held on BST’s historic campus. For Lia, celebrating this milestone in the very place where she works and completed her theological studies added a truly special significance to the day.
Both Lia and Leo hail from the Sumi tribe in Nagaland, India, and the wedding was a vibrant and beautiful blend of Naga and American cultural traditions, creating a truly memorable evening.
Adding a personal touch, the ceremony was officiated by BST’s own Dean LeAnn Snow Flesher. The joy of the day was made even more profound by the attendance of Lia’s mother, Ms. Bokali Haralu, who traveled all the way from India to be present for the special occasion. The entire BST community extends its warmest congratulations to the happy couple!
