Also my mum, Mary (my sister-in-law), Emma and Kate (my maids) had to prepare themselves. So like anyone can imagine the house was pretty crazy. While all this happened downstairs, John prepared himself alone quietly and calmly.
Al 10 am Alberto (my brother who was to give me away) arrived and the photo session began. The morning went as planned and John and I were very happy thinking that our love would be blessed in a few hours.
At midday John, Mary and Emma left the house. Shortly afterwards I was ready to leave. Here I am getting into the bride's car.
At 12.45 pm John and Mary entered the chapel and were greeted with a warm aplause.
My entrance was a very moving moment for me. Family and all the guests were really emotive too and they expressed themselves with tears and applauses.
The ceremony was sensitive, joyful and lovely. The priest gave us good advice and made some jokes that lightened the mood. Kate gave us a candle that we gave to the priest (later) which symbolized that our home will be always a place of god's light.
Another nice symbol was that Brunella and Tatiana united us with a flower chain, meaning that we are united in love forever.
My friends (Lorena's) made the mass readings and the petitions for our future life together. Thanks to Monica, Mario, Carolina, Jaime, Nilza, Gonzalo, Carla and Fabian.
The chapel is very nice and was really beautiful with the flower decorations. We want to thank Jose Antonio Maldonado's chorus because they sang excellently and with feeling. It was nice that he allowed Mary and Emma to sing "Edelweiss" in the ceremony. Thank you Mary and Emma for your nice voices.
After the mass, vows and rings we were ready to sign. As you can see I was very happy to do so.
To the music of the "Wedding March" we left the chapel slowly and now proudly married. Everybody was clapping with happiness, it was a wonderful and unforgettable moment of love.
