first stop, carrie and jorge's wedding!
back in february (even before the sledding escapades) i flew out to monterrey, mexico to celebrate carrie and jorge tying the knot and to catch up with several dear college friends.
the cathedral that jorge and carrie got married in
the happy couple at dinner friday night (just imagine the dimples their kids will have!)
the beautiful bride - getting ready on saturday morning
third noordy girls! groen, me, carrie, marlene, and dena
just after jorge first saw carrie in her dress - she walked down the beautiful staircase in the background
all the calvin friends: me, mandie, christina, marlene, groen, and dena
the reception was held in a beautiful historic building. they had a live band (in the background) which was a lot of fun.
jorge surprised carrie with a few songs of his own.
the reception was unlike any i'd attended before. over the course of the evening, a variety of 'props' came out on to the dance floor. here everyone is dancing with balloons that had just been handed out. later on there were masks, light up rings, necklaces, and more. in the states, i'm used to seeing mostly young people on the dance floor with the older generations sitting and watching. here everyone was out there having a good time - mostly dancing the salsa and other traditional dances.

i'm so glad that i was able to be there and to enjoy being with old friends again.
congratulations, mr. and mrs. quintanilla!
jodi, i loved the line "just imagine the dimples their kids will have" because it's exactly what i thought as well.
