Anna-Lisa and Juan Carlos are totally married:It was a great day. There were TONS of tears around the sealing room. The ceremony was really beautiful.
There are more pictures floating around, but I don't have any because my camera is pretty dead. But as soon as i get pictures from other people, I'll probably post them, too.
See Anna-Lisa's brother on the left? He'd gotten back from his mission at 10:30 the night before the 9am wedding. He was pretty wired.
One of the excellent things about this wedding was the fact that I got to hang out with friends, especially those I don't get to see as often, like Em, Lori, Angela and Shelton. A large portion of the weekend was spent laughing.
The Emilys and I also made a border run on Friday to Tijuana, where I finally got up the courage to barter in Spanish.Unlike the last time crossing the Mexican to U.S. border, I did not make a stupid mistake when the agent asked me if I'd bought anything to bring over. When I crossed from Juárez I said that I was bring "Coke" with me. Ack! Coca-Cola. Man, that was dumb.
Oh, and you can't tell from the picture, but I got a nice sunburn.
Yo estaba tan jot así.
In between the wedding and the reception later that night the EmilyX2 and I went to Solana Beach. The waves breaking were a lot louder than any beach I remember visiting. Brasil was not surprisingly calmer than California.
Emily T looked for pretty rocks and seashells to take home to remember the beach. Emily D looked at the rocks and quietly admired the view. I threw the rocks as far back into the ocean as I could and gleefully popped the kelp bubbles.
I think what we did at the beach might be a perfect example of our personalities.
My BeeBoo loves the jar full of rocks. She even knows that the jar of shells is from the Atlantic, but the jar of rocks is from the Pacific. :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I'm just now seeing this post! I also can't tell you how much it meant to me that you guys were there. It wouldn't have been the same without you. :)
