It has certainly been a month of wedded bliss :)
First up was Kyle and Maria's wedding. The setting was beautiful, and despite starting nearly 2 hours late (true to Nicaragua time) the kids behaved wonderfully. And our biggest accomplishment- between 15 kids and a half dozen adults, we only managed to break one glass! (I was sure it was going to be more since the little ones are never allowed to use glass cups)
Leito did an awesome job with his ringbearing duties :)
And the happy couple (with a little cake on their faces)- photo taking by Joely :)
Wedding number 2: Bertha and Martin :)
Their wedding was here at the school in the gym. Bertha helps Shirley teach sewing in the high school. Again I will say I was quite happy with how our troops behaved! Although its a little different when you're here at your own place. Most of all I love how they all matched though :)
And last but certainly not least, is Jenny and Luis!
Their wedding was the longest in the making being as they have been dating over 5 years! Jenny is Leo's sister and the director of our school. Joely, Debonney and Grace were all in the wedding so we had lots of fun with wedding prep :)
Here is the beautiful bride with her parents!
About to exchange rings :)
And what, might you ask, constitutes a half a wedding?! Well what a good question. Here in Nicaragua the civil (legal) wedding is usually done separately from the actual ceremony. While in the states we usually (I think) sign all the legal documents the same day as the church ceremony, that is rarely the case here. So my half wedding? that was Jenny and Luis's civil ceremony. It was the week before their church ceremony and full reception. It was mostly family I guess, the lawyer, the pastor and some other people. They signed the paper and we ate :) Pretty uneventful but fun nonetheless!
So there you have it, a summary of what has gone on here 4 of the last 5 weekends!
