While I can't take credit for all these pictures, I still want to share these wedding moments of our very good friends, Dani and Caitlin. This couple is in a similar situation as Fernando and me, a typical "Spanish boy meets American girl in Seville, Spain" story. The wedding took place close to Caitlin's hometown, Rhinebeck, New York, at the Rhinecliff Hotel. Just weeks earlier, some random Miss Chelsea Clinton found herself wed in this town as well, whoever that is. We stayed at the same venue as the wedding, which is a bed and breakfast-style accommodations, perfect for putting Sweet P to nap during the day-long celebration. Well worth it!

The wedding venue had a view of the Hudson River.
The balcony area where debauchery was soon to take place.
The hallways were decorated with upcycled art. This US flag was created by Ziploc baggies filled with paint. Future craft project!
Gorgeous blue skies. And it was hot, hot, humid, hot! 
I hit the bar with Kelly and Mark for some champagne to quench our thirst.
Saying their "I do's" by the river.
The knot is tied tight. Our international friendships and families. Yay!
Feed us! The food was, in fact, delicioso.
Dani's little brother, Nano, gave Paloma a quick cheek squeeze. (And I just invented a tongue twister.)
Fernando made a speech, which he and I briefly rehearsed beforehand.
Caitlin and her proud daddy.
The groom's parents were happy to take Paloma while we had fun with our friends. That was sweet. For us, small breaks make a difference!
I got a special kiss from Kelly, who lent her chauffeur services, her home, and was Paloma's BFF during our NY trip. Bow down!
Fernando, and Dani's brother, Gonzalo, who's a pilot for Spanair. Hey, where are the airline hook-ups in our family?!
Paloma admired Caitlin's 6-week-old sleeping niece. Shhhh!
My Euro sisters. The lovely ladies, Memi and Sandra.
Mark was accidentally seated at our adults table (minus P), but we got to know him and realized he's years beyond his age. Plus, he's cute.

Those are great pics! I read the People article on Chelsea's wedding. What a great location your friends got married at. I love the pic of your family of 3 at the table waiting for dinner. You looked so pretty Justine! So will your friends be living in Spain or the States?
Hehe! Thx for the shout out on your blog! Some corrections though...my "hometown" is EVERYWHERE not Rhinebeck. Actually, if anything close to there it'd be Rosendale. D's bro works for AirEuropa not Spanair! And my niece was 2 months and 6 days there! ;) Other than that thanks!! Paloma is as cute as ever!ca
