Belu & Marce's Happily Ever After

All I can say is WOW!  After 10 years, many of them apart, Belu and Marce finally tied the knot in one of the most beautiful, FUN weddings I have ever been to.
It all began in the church just before 20:00 - the latest wedding cermony I have ever even heard of (and apparently that was early for Buenos Aires) where I saw the most fabulous bride walking down the aisle to her first love. When the music started, I had tears in my eyes in anticipation of what I was about to see. I was one of many!
Having heard so many stories of Marce through our college years, and after, now having met him, I couldn't have picked a man more perfect for Belu.

Beautiful family

 After the cermony, we made our way to the venue for hors d'oeuvres and drinks, and then into the ballroom which was decorated so beautifully... As we waited for the bride and groom to enter, we watched a video of them and their friends/family - some embarassing pictures from our college days appeared but thankfully everything was family friendly!

How cool are these? Drink suggestions from members of the family

The room was decorated so beautifully, looking back, I definitely did not get enough good pictures to do it justice. I was more interested in what was happening, or about to happen, as there were surprises around every corner. My camera (who has recently been named Ricardo!)  took a bit of a back seat for a change.

The cake was cut around 03:30AM!

Catch the bouquet/football!

Argentinian weddings are very different from weddings I had been to before. Before the meal started, there was dancing. In between each course, there was dancing. After the meal, there was dancing. After cutting the cake, there was dancing. And after the dancing, there was more dancing!
The last time I saw such a packed dancefloor, was in a nightclub. Except here, everyone actually knows how to dance. It was the one part of the trip I felt very Irish!!

It started with 2 (Their 1st Waltz)

Not long before everybody joined in!

And what makes dancing better? Not dancing COSTUMES!!!

The night morning ended close to 07:00AM with tea/coffee and croissants being served. I was just imagining if that wedding had been in Ireland no one would have made it that long with an open bar all night!

Thank you to the husband and wife and their families for an amazing celebration. I hope they won't mind, I have cordially invited myself to the next wedding that takes place in the family...even if they don't know me!!!

Best wishes to Belu and Marce for a lifetime of happienss together.
