Increíble viaje a la Ciudad de México!!!

Our trip to Mexico City 

for the Wedding of our most special

friend Yadhira...was

INCREDIBLE !

We three stressed big time about our 

attire...and to put it mildly we were

seriously underdressed.

 When we arrived at
the wedding site it was surrounded by
paparazzi, fans and bodyguards.
Held at a 16th century former monastery,
completely transformed into the most romantic
wedding site imaginable.
Greeted with huge bouquets of roses, (over 500,000 roses in all)
 we signed the guest book, were given our table numbers
 and ushered  Out into an open courtyard filled

with candles from floor to ceiling we made our way to

the perfect row of chairs in the very back of the cathedral.

Just a hint at how many roses there were.

I took this picture before anyone arrived. We sat in the last row.

  Yadhira winked at Jeanne when she walked up the aisle.

See the choir up in the balcony.

Here is our table. #6

The wall and chandelier are covered in roses.

Did I mention, fireworks?

 Here is the fountain full of rose pedals and candles.

A gorgeous actor...

It was a cross between William and Kate's wedding, Maudi Gras, Fireworks
show on the 4th of July, Rock concert and a Feast fit for kings and queens.
We did not get to bed until 5:00 a.m.  Last guests to leave ...7:30 a.m.

NEXT DAY

Here we are the next day at a small barbeque at their home for
120 family and US.

With Mariachi bands

Whole roasted pigs, a huge 

grill for making homemade tortillas,

and the food went on and on.

Even her mama and great aunties

drank tequila shots while listening 

to Mariachi.  (It's a rule)

Yadhira is so natural, she showed up

at her family barbecue...2 hours of sleep,

no makeup and danced and sang. We were 

so blessed to witness such a loving family.

Aunties and cousins hugging and kissing.

Daughters singing songs of love to their mother.

We laughed and cried, danced and sang.

It went on until midnight.

Here is a card I did for her.

It was part of a vintage chinese lacquer box

filled with memento's and a piece of red string.

That we tied on her wrist, and then everyone's

to show we are all connected.

The next day we visited Yadhira's store,

MEMENTO'S

of which she carries Bunnies By The Bay.

Then lunch at a 5 STAR restaurant

She had to leave for her honeymoon

at 6:00.  We stayed until 11:00 with

her sister and cousins.

5 Margarita's later

OOOHHHHH suffered the next day

while flying home.

Really a once in a lifetime experience.

There was so much more ...
