Wedding Celebrations

Last weekend we were privileged to participate in Gerardo's cousins wedding to his girl-friend, Monica. Gera and I were asked to stand up as well and Katy and Elena were the flower girls.

Trying on their dresses before the wedding. Elena absolutely loved her dress!

Giving some brotherly help and advice.
The girls did a great job despite the fact that there are not rehearsals here. Before the ceremony I walked her through what she had to do. With Elena there was no way to really prep (she carried the Bible) and both Gera and I were ready for whatever she did. Gera and I walked in before them so her Grandma was the one that sent her off by telling her "walk to Mommy". They did great until Katy started throwing the petals out. Elena stopped with look that said "why are you doing that, what am I supposed to do?". After a bit more prodding she continued on...


Gera's uncle did the religious part of the ceremony.

Elena was the life of the party with her energy and ceaseless desire to dance.

We all had a lot of fun and are excited to welcome Monica and her daughter Daniela into the family.
