15 years of marriage

Papel Picado banners in Cihuatlan - by David Dagoli

Last night I was treated to the story of how Hugo "stole" Lorena away from her family, both on one bicycle, and they hid in a Motel in Jaluco for 4 days. Lorena's family is very large and they all had different opinions of Hugo. Hugo's family was small and not as well known. Then the physical problems Euriel had were all blamed on Hugo. He got turned around in the womb with cord around his neck leading to Lorena's first Cesarean. 

So today is their 15th wedding anniversary which they jokingly call their Quinceañera. We're gonna have a special dinner tonight as yet undetermined. We'll decide when we shop in Melaque a little later. Maybe shrimp ??

Preparing your daughter for marriage

The mysteries of the Catholic Church in Mexico.

Hugo left work early today because he and his daughter have to prepare themselves for what I think is her final step in her communion tomorrow.   I believe he has to present her somehow and say a few words.   Interesting that the family is not very religious but they don't want to jeopardize the daughters chance of getting married in the church.   Couldn't find anything on the web that was clear about the procedure but Hugo says it all has to be documented on paper. Guess I'll hear more tomorrow and after.

Yari about 6 months ago in what I think was the first communion
