oh how i love mexico.

so i just returned home from a wedding. my co-worker (who's also become a friend) got married in a small town about an hour away from where i live. my friend leti was gracious enough (as she always is...and does an above average job of) to accompany me on the adventure to find the town and then to hang out at the wedding and reception.

we had a blast. the ceremony was beautiful...and the reception was great fun. there are many traditional dances and music here...those are always fun to participate in. and, as always, i was in mariachi heaven. the mariachis actually serenade each table individually. and i got my own song played for me at the request of the bride and groom!!! sweet. :) it definitely made my night. then we had a traditional wedding dish- virria, rice, and beans, with chile and tortillas (of course). there was plenty of tequila in sight, which is another can't live without item for all events in mexico. there was the "dollar dance" which is peso dance here in mexico), the dance before the tossing of the flowers, and the banda/durengenza music. so my co-workers, leti, and i danced and danced and danced.

it was a blast. i love weddings here. well, i love weddings in the states for that matter...hehe.
