A Mexican Wedding is a joyous affair.  You might guess from the number of wedding cakes how many people were at the celebration afterwards. The photos in this spread just show a bit of the spectacle. I didn’t realize until I started editing that I had taken over 500 photos! 400 on my camera before the battery gave out and then 100 plus more on my friend’s phone. At any rate, here are a “few” of the shots. I particularly love the one of all the children acrobatically dancing on the dance floor…More photos will follow in a few days.  I might add that Alejandra is Yolanda’s niece and my English student.  I first met her at a camp we threw for local children many years ago. One of the photos is of Yolanda and her sisters. Another is of Alejandra with her two children, her sister Marie Jose and her cousin Yoli, who is Yolanda’s daughter. Yoli and Marie Jose are also taking English lessons from me. The two other Anglo women were Alejandra’s former teachers. Do you know about the Mexican tradition of filling eggshells with confetti and breaking them over each others’ heads? You can see evidence of the practice in the photos. The bride and groom are not the only ones brushing confetti from their hair and clothing at a Mexican wedding!
