December 9th? Seriously?
So, John and I have been gone for 10 days, and I have blogged nothing - here or on my travelblog. Not because we havent done anything, we have just been doing a lot every day... ok, sometimes that means 6 hours at the beach drinking beer, reading and playing cards. But dammit, we needed it!
Wedding was crazy. Miriam and Abraham, his parents, her mom, John and I went to the Judge on Thursday and signed all the papers. It was actually really nice. Then Saturday was the actual ceremony but the judge was no longer coming, so I married them and Marco, Abraham{s brother, translated. Miriam and I wrote the vows on the beach on Wednesday - she said hers in Spanish, he said them in English (and added on stuff on his own, which made us all cry). Everyone was late to the wedding (it IS mexico after all) except Miriam and I - we were ready! The villa was gorgeous. Will add pics once we are back in Ontario on Thursday, and write more.
The reception was a mad blur of the father of the groom getting everyone to drink LOTS of tequila. John eventually, um, went to sleep - NOT passed out, of course - around 1am next to the pool. We spent all of Sunday recuperating. Not a pretty scene.
Monday we took a 2 hour bus to Puerto Escondido, which we LOVE. Going diving tomorrow!
