A Spanish wedding

Different countries, different customs. Some the same. Vows and speeches in English and in Spanish. A blending of traditions.

Yo y mi esposo

On our fourth day, we did family stuff. Visited. Had a cocktail party overlooking the city at night. The Giralda tower illuminated was breathtaking. Side note. For those of you who know me, my hair hasn't changed. I've just learned how to tame it. Mostly. Sometimes. Except when its humid. And I didn't have my usual mane-taming equipment. Oh yeah, and I have more silver highlights these days. With that being said, the hairdresser did a marvelous job the day of the wedding.

The wedding was outside and the weather was gorgeous. We all came away glowing. Well... some of that might have been sunburn, but what a beautiful ceremony. The bride and groom had gotten married last year, but different cultures, different traditions, and add COVID into the mix, and voila. Party on their first anniversary!

The couple walked in to the reception to Queen - Somebody to Love. We were served fresh, local foods as appetizers after the ceremony, then sat down to fresh local foods for dinner, and then a night of dinner and dancing (and mojitos).

You know how at weddings in the U.S. you do the Electric Slide and/or the Chicken Dance? Over there they do a version of Flamenco and its absolutely lovely to watch. Oh, and dancing waiters/bartenders.

Next week: Sevilla unscripted. A walk along the Guadalquivir River and other tourist attractions.
