Mexico Wedding

Mexico is always a cool place to visit. This was my first time to Guadalajara and found it just beautiful. Modern architecture is very popular so there are many cool commercial and residential buildings to look at. There is also much history especially in the historical center downtown.

The wedding was pretty cool- not too different than some weddings I have done in the States but there were some definitely unique events. The Bride and Groom (Angie and Steve) are from the US but the Bride's family is from the town we were in- her uncle actually married them!

Some images:


Angie and the girls (and I) got to ride in the horse drawn carriage- so cool! Their church is in the background.


Yes, those are real fireworks- and yes, the reception was indoors! I thought about how that would work in the US- I figured the sprinklers would go on and everyone would get soaked... then I looked up and found no sprinklers at all... that's good! or is it?
After the six fireworks went off and the smoke added to the discharge of a smoke machine and cigarette smoke, you could hardly see your hand in front of your face- let alone breath without feeling like a brick was on your chest!! It's a dangerous job but some one's got to do it!

The party was completely out-of-control! the reception went until 3:30 and the staff had to pretty much chase the guests out! Those Mexicans can party!!
