Bolivian Wedding

Over the weekend Angel's best friend got married, so I got to go to a Bolivian wedding!


First was the religious ceremony.  Later, after greeting guests and cocktail hour, there was the civil ceremony as well which was terribly long and boring and appeared to involve the reading of every law that has anything to do with marriage.


Fake cake!!  It sat as a decoration all night long.  We ate cake, but they never touched this one!

  
Check out who caught the bouquet!



Not only did I get the flowers, but you can see the garter on Angel's arm!  Endless harassment from our table of friends. 


A super fun couple from our table.  We sat with Angel's coworkers and their wives.  Much more fun and pleasant than I had anticipated!


Later in the evening Angel and I got grabbed to help the newlyweds with a surprise... passing out giant foam hats and ties to all the guests!  We also had to help lead the dance which was terrible for me since I don't know how to dance hardly anything and a traditional Bolivian dance even less.  Thankfully no one left screaming.
