My eldest host sister is in the process of getting married! Here in Chile, this life event turns into more of several days of festivities starting with the civil ceremony. For this week's post, I have included some of the photos from this first event. As my gift to the bride and groom I am acting as the official wedding photographer. The first wedding I ever photographed was in Serbia last summer, so maybe I'll consider a career in international wedding photography!
The civil ceremony is only attended by close family members, but you would never know by the quantity and quality of food. Primarily various Chilean appetizers - olives, pickles, pickled vegetables, empanadas, and cake.
The family's request for a "relax" picture. The request doesn't exactly translate, but considering a picture is worth a thousand words, I think it worked out well.As my host sister official changed from "senorita" to "senora", my mom's toast made her and the groom tear-up.Bride and groom's first kiss as a government-certified couple!My homemade, personalized invitation for the grand celebration next weekend!
