A SPANISH WEDDING

THE GRAND FIESTA

All smiles getting into and out of the church


Antonio pretends not to hear as friends give some last minute 'girlie' advice to the bride....

El pare de la nuvia fa que no sent res mentres les amigues intenten donar un consell d'ultima hora a la Cristina.

Now Antonio, a proud father, escorts his daughter 'up the aisle'

I el padri, acompanya a la nuvia a l'altar.

Y el padrino acompana a la novia al altar.


John and Cristina check their investments.

Juanito y Cristina comprueban sus inversiones.


After the service (a mixture of Catalan, Spanish and English with beautiful music) in a lovely old church, we await the emergence of the bride and groom . . . .

Els nostres amics esperen despres de la cerimonia amb impaciencia...

Nuestros amiguitos esperan despues de la ceremonia con impaciencia...
