Showing Off

So I was dressed and ready to go.  It was almost 10:30AM, so our guests had gathered in the lobby to wait for the transport.  And I got to pretend I was Evita on the balcony.

Getting Ready

So, the morning of the wedding I showed up at my parents hotel at around 8AM.  I had breakfast with whoever was eating at that time (I wish that I remembered who, but there was lots to remember that day), and before I knew it I was being pushed towards the shower.

At 9AM the girls for hair and makeup showed up.  I got my makeup done while Mom had her hair done, then we switched.

(Please note the super comfy "Duke Fencing" sweatpants)

How Much Time Do You Need to Train for a 10 Mile Run?

Well, after my week off for working, there was Carnival.  And after Carnival (which I will post about once I get photos from Carlos) I was a bit sick for a few days.  I am now ready to write more about the wedding - but in the next post.  Currently I have a more pressing issue.

Why?  Because I need to work.

I'm serious!

I got a small contract (through Carlos) to translate a 25 page document.  In six days.

Friday Night Dinner

I can start writing again since I finally have photos!

As you recall, the gringos started walking to the restaurant from the hotel around 6:45PM.  We arrived at the restaurant at about 7:15PM.  Almost everything was set up.  We chose this restaurant, El Maiz, for the rehearsal dinner because my parents really liked the food and the place was nice.  However, as with everything here, it wasn't perfect.  We had reserved the whole restaurant, but there was a table in the back with two people sitting there eating dinner.  The owner told us that these were friends of her daughter and she couldn't turn them away.  I was so annoyed.  We reminded her that we had reserved the entire place and that there was barely enough room for our group, let alone some strangers.  I mean come on, she could have told them to return the next night.
