Love Never Fails

Of course I know I am biased to tell you that this was the most beautiful, fairytale wedding I have ever seen. But it is true!

In 2006 we moved from Holland to Spain and this is where the happy couple met, so it was an international wedding. The bride and groom were a picture. The bride was wearing white with red embroided flowers on her dress and a long veil. The groom in black, shiny satin with a red waistcoat. A dream couple really! The surroundings were amazing! A garden with ponds, waterfalls and even a swimming pool. Palm and olive trees and exotic flowers that spread a wonderful fragrance in the air.

There were tables decorated with fruits and vegetables, all very colorful. The ceremony was done outside. A beautiful setting next to the water fountain with nice little orange chairs for the guests. The groom was accompanied by the bride’s twin sister and the bride by her sister’s husband. They exchanged and the wedding started. There were wonderful speeches, and an extremely funny one by my daughter about her brother. Everything was done in English and Spanish. The couple exchanged their own special wedding vows in the language of their partner. They gave each other the coin of happiness, which is a Spanish tradition, then the rings and in the end they were tied together with a red ribbon.

The diner was suburb and the party went on until the early daybreak. There were fireworks and a horse show. Children were taking care of by nannies. It was all extremely well arranged, nothing went wrong. It was the best wedding ever! Don’t know if I will ever attend another like this………..maybe my daughter!?

Happy Mom.
