Pia is Cecilia’s daughter, so as a “member of the family” I was invited to her wedding on Friday. What a lovely, happy day it was!

This was the civil ceremony at the registry office, with about forty guests who all then went back to Cecilia’s place for the party. There had been rain in the forecast and that was a concern because the meal was to be an asado, and they were counting on people being able to sit outside. Anyway, it turned out to be a hot, sunny day and the rain didn’t come until late in the evening when it was all over. The meal was fantastic — lomo (fillet mignon) on the barbecue, great sausages and all the other components of an Argentine asado. And lots of champagne to go with it!

These photos are at the ceremony and afterwards. I didn’t take any at the house, but when I get a link to the official ones I’ll pick out a few and post them.

Now here’s the fun part. They are having another ceremony at the end of this month — on the beach! I’ve never been to a beach wedding and I’m really looking forward to it. I’ll definitely post more photos then.

It’s official!

Cecilia and I and her sister had already left for the car, so we missed out on getting into this one!
