Two Wedding Weekend

Two ladies we know got married this past weekend.

Armando's brother Chilly's wife's sister Vicki (I know that was hard to follow and it probably didn't come out right, but stay with me) got married to Jeremiah on Friday evening. They had a small ceremony held at their church which we didn't attend but then celebrated with them at the reception. The bride wore a beautiful dress and looked like an amazing version of Cinderella with her handsome prince. I didn't see much of the bride and groom as I was spending most of my time in the stair well with Esperanza - going up and down, up and down, up and down the stairs. She did take breaks occassionally to dance and run around a bit. No sitting or mingling thow. Unfortunately, I got no pictures of the happy couple. Here are a few others thow.

Recognize this dress Geneva? Anycia wore it to one of our cousins wedding about 6 or 7 years ago. I told Esperanza that it was Anycia's dress and she actually got excited about wearing it!There were 5 or 6 little girls that had the time of their lives dancing togetherOn Saturday Armando's sister Aurelia got married to Gary. They had a beautiful and unique wedding which catered to both American and Mexican tradition. They didn't cut corners anywhere when it came to entertainment, food, good beer, decorations and fun for themselves as well as the guests. Get ready for a ton of pictures...

It was really neat. Here is the groom lookin cool mid-dance wearing his glasses. Kinda looks like Angelina was dancing too
