before i begin, i need to clarify: no, i'm not getting remarried, and no, we're not having a baby. but... our friends are!
just a few days after we got back to Basque Country, we had a chance to go to a Basque wedding FOR FREE! normally, people here pay 100-150€ to go to a wedding, but, a couple of months ago, i offered to take pictures at my student's wedding. when she took me up on my offer and i refused to be paid, she said, "well, then you and jonny can come to the wedding for free!" i don't know about you, but jonny and i like the word FREE. plus, we were very excited to get to be a part of such a significant part of Basque culture. so, here are a few pictures from the wedding and the huge feast/party they had after the ceremony.
next. babies. actually, to be accurate, it's only one baby. or so we all think. anyways, some friends of ours who live about an hour away are having a baby. a week or so ago we had a baby shower for her. it was great to meet joanna's Basque friends and here family who is here visiting from england. here are a couple of pictures for you to look at as well.
i think that's all for now, though i have much much much more to write. i just have to wait to find time to develop my pictures! more blogging will soon follow. i promise!!
What a compliment to be invited to such an event! Wedding and Funerals are some of life most significant events here. It says a lot about how she feels about you interacting with her personal group of family and friends.
ReplyDeleteyes, it was a great experience and we are so grateful for the way God is slowly bringing us into the culture and into people's lives
