Wedding Party


A lovely lady called Ilisandra who works in the office at the children´s project invited us to her wedding to Rafael. We were very pleased to accept and had a lovely time at the ceremony which was at the Padre´s church. From there we went to their brand new house that they are due to move in to. It was great meeting the family and friends and celebrating with them. We felt very lucky to be able to join in with something like this which as a tourist you would never get the chance to do. The party started with fizzy wine, photos and dancing a wedding dance with the bride and groom. There were tables on the street and everyone sat chatting and enjoying the rum and coke laid on. We danced to local music and had a tasty meal too, eventually getting a lift home after one o´clock. All in all, a fantastic evening.

Blimey, Simon looks rather caught in the moment in that picture with the bride! Course, he was obviously just closing his eyes to imagine the real thing in 2010...
