138. Lesvia & Carlos's Wedding (3-26-11)
by Karen Dunn | April 1, 2011
Today Lesvia and Carlos got married!!! They put on a great party.
I went over to Lesvia's house at 3pm to help out while she got dressed. I took lots of pictures.
Cooks in the kitchen. Yummy! They are cooking for approximately 200 people.
Lesvia starting to get ready.
Turns out that Abel's sister-in-law was doing Lesvia and the little girls hair.
A few days ago, three children ate something toxic and passed away. I believe one of the boys played soccer with my boys and two of the children went to a Mayan Families school. Lesvia's house is on the same street as the cemetery and while she was getting ready, a parade of people passed by carrying the three caskets. So sad!
They did a great job of decorating their house. The reception will be here at the house after the ceremony at the church.
While I was at Lesvia's, Nat and the boys went out with Abel to get something to eat. We knew we wouldn't be eating until 9 at night. After dinner, the boys went to Abel's house to get dressed and Nat met me at the municipal building for the civil wedding.
The kids had fun running around in front of the church before the ceremony began.

My boys loved being all dressed up and posing for pictures :-).
