Living in Mexico and Learning to Speak Spanish: Tales & How-to Tips

The purpose of this blog is to provide information about Mexico -- mostly through my husband's and my day-to-day experiences of living in Mexico, specifically in San Juan Cosala, Jalisco, by Lake Chapala near Ajijic. I write for people who might live or retire in Mexico, for expats or travelers currently in Mexico, and for Mexicans. I write about how to learn to speak Spanish, why it's important, and how to get started. For more, visit my website www.mexico-with-heart.com as well! -- Rosana Hart

A Mexican Wedding, Part 2

Continuing from the last post about the wedding we went to recently, in the last photo there, you can see a little boy holding a little bag. It contained confetti, which was given out by two adorable little girls... with the results that when the newlyweds walked out of the church, they were showered! Here Olga is chatting with well-wishers right after that:


This mariachi band played in the courtyard in front of the church:


and at the restaurant beside Lake Chapala where the reception was held:

A meal was served, people chatted, and a good time was had by all! Here, a folkloric dance of the ancianos (old ones) was performed by local dancers:


That was followed by this dance. It turned out that the young man is the son of a friend of ours. That's how it is around here! People are connected in so many ways.



Then Noe and Olga led off the dancing. You can see Lake Chapala and the wedding cakes in the background.

May Noe and Olga be very happy together all their lives! They are off to a great start!
