Ale and Maria's Wedding in Madrid
Last weekend we hitched a ride to Madrid with Angel and Sandra. We were expecting a very cold day (1 degree C!), but it turned out to be chilly at the most. We stayed at Dani and Zainab's cozy home in Pedrezuela, which is about 30 miles from Madrid.
Fernando was the "videographer" for this wedding of about 50.
The church was tiny, but perfect enough for this quaint gathering. This is the couple with their parents at the altar.
The new couple will be moving to Australia in March because Ale got a scholarship for his post-grad. Don't you just love Maria's winter wedding dress?
Borja and his charming Colombian girlfriend, Sandra. Lucky guy, I say.
Memi, Caitlin, me and Sandra in the lobby of the reception venue.
The after-party was at a bar/restaurant with a spectacular view of the Real Madrid Futbol Stadium. Nice!
We got a chance to take a picture with the newly married couple.
Their first dance song was "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green.
Fer with Juan Antonio and Dani.
Nicole, Zainab, and the sister of the bride enjoying some drinks and smokes.
Juan Antonio got to wear Zainab's hair for awhile.
So did Borja.
They had a sushi bar downstairs. My pregnant self was particular about what I ate. Sad to say, quality was not what I'm used to at home.
On Sunday, we had a roasted chicken lunch at Rafalin's and Elena's house. We also got to meet their new boy.
Sandra and the chubby bubby 5-month-old baby, Francisco Javier. I wanted to eat his cute sumo wrestler legs.
