Now that I have slept and have my wits about me I'll try to say a little more aout the wedding. Marcela's brother Oswaldo got married to Heather, the Assistant pastor's daughter. The wedding was highly anticipated because the groom's family is well-to-do and Spanish. Everybody wanted to go to the big Spanish wedding - me included. The wedding did not disappoint, the grooms family showed up speaking spanish and wearing expensive clothes. Heather's family showed up speaking with a southern drawl and wearing jeans.
This was the first wedding in our church where the family had bothered to send out invitations. Before, the wedding was just announced in church and everybody just showed up. Heather and Oswaldo sent out handsome invitations with their picture and actually had a catered reception at the Double D party ranch - not quite South Fork ranch quality but we're not Highland Park caliber people either so it all evens out.
The only thing I wish is that I had more money to spend. Once again, an important event passed in somebody's life and I didn't bring a gift. (not even a card) I'd feel guilty but when you are as broke as I am guilt and money don't mix.
