My big fat chilean wedding..

or at least it is a catchy title, right? So on Friday I went to a wedding of an old school friend of Carla. He was getting married on Friday afternoon, so I got out of work early and rushed to the wedding, unfortunately Santiago has taken a turn for the cold. it was very warm the week before but Friday afternoon was quite chilly. After the wedding, which was in Spanish, but I do think I heard the "do you take this women...." there was a reception, with some goat cheese on a stick attached to a large orange, some little treats on mini breads, cheesey asargus or spinach *it was green* and a few other things...then there was a waltz that was on an outside stage that was in front of everyone. apparently quite traditional and cute. I think I will have to do the same thing at the wedding I may or may not ever have.the whole..reminded me of Alyssa's wedding..oh what good times..and A, your dress was way prettier. *so being at a wedding reminded me of my friends, but the actual bride, party and event was entirly different, I do not even know if they had a bachlor or ette party, I think not...So her's/the brides gown was strapless, and white, and puffy, but she had black flowers embroided in the back, and black ribbon/ness going up the back...her hair was big and curly...my dress was cute, it was yellow with panels of grey and the rest was black..about knee length and loose, very cute, but not warm enough for 20'

ok, so after the food, none of which was near as good as the stuff I get at home.(all homes)..they had dancing..I got to say, Chileans can dance! old and young. they get on the floor and do not stop..it is quite impressive. and good moves too. the times I have gone to the clubs to go and dance I cannot believe how amazing, no offense my American boys, but they got you beat. and me too for that matter..I have to left feet. most of the time no one notices, but geez, it can be intimidating..

So around about midnight, the bride and groom came out wearing cool hats and glasses, and the dj turned over the stage to a live band, with all kindas instruments...I left around 2am, with the floor still packed...Carla stayed til 7am...how is this possible???

well, the wedding was nice, no toasts that I noticed, the cake...well, it was wierd..it looked fake, like candy and plaster...and was way too sweet..I do not know if the bride and groom even cutted a piece because they did not make a big to do of it..before the cake there was a dessert buffet, way better then the dinner...with spears of fruit, a milky/leche cake and some other desserts...tiramisui, and what else?? I think a icecream, which was more gelatoee...but I did not have any of that...

over all good times....questions??
