BACK FROM THE WEDDING!!

HELLO TO ALL,           I SURE MISSED YOU ALL VERY MUCH. I AM SO ADDICTED TO THE OH WEBSIGHT LOL.... WE GOT HOME LATE FRIDAY NIGHT... I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE THE GA LINE I TELL YA... WE TRAVELED TWO DAYS THERE AND TWO BACK AND JUST VISITED THREE. BUT ALL IN ALL IT WAS THE GREATEST TIME. WE GOT TO SEE ALOT OF THINGS YOU WOULDNT HAVE SEEN ON A PLANE. I SORTA FELT LIKE PEG AND AL BUNDY GOING TO SAN ANTONIO WITH ALL THE CRAP WE WERE TAKING THERE. I HAD ALL MY DAUGHTERS SHOWER GIFTS AND EVEN 15 WATERMELONS LOL..... DIDNT GET TO SEE ALOT OF SAN ANTONIO BUT WHAT WE SAW I LOVED!! WE HAD A FAMILY GET TOGETHER WITH MY SON IN LAWS SIDE TO MEET AND GREET ON MONDAY AND THEN TUESDAY WAS THE REHERSAL AND REHERSAL DINNER AND THEN WEDNESDAY WAS THE WEDDING SO ALOT OF RUNNING AROUND AND DOING THINGS. I HAD A GREAT TIME EVEN THOUGH IT RAINED EVERYDAY THERE. THE REHERSAL DINNER WAS AT AN ALL FILIPINO FOOD RESTAURANT ( SON IN LAW IS FILIPINO) AND HAVE TO SAY WAS VERY GOOD WHAT I ATE OF IT. I MAINLY PICKED THRU TO GET TO THE SEAFOOD( THOUGHT ABOUT YOU KIX LOL). AND THE WEDDING WAS SO GREAT. IT WAS AT ONE OF THE SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS. THE ESPADA. IT IS VERY OLD AND IS SO SPANISH LOOKING. IT WAS A CATHOLIC WEDDING AND TOTAL FILIPINO. MY DAUGHTER WORE A FILIPINO WEDDING DRESS AND MY GRANDSON AND HUSBAND WORE A BARONG WHICH IS A FANCY FLIPINO DRESS SHIRT. MY DAUGHTERS WORE BURNT ORANGE BRIDESMAID DRESSES THOUGH. THE FILIPINO TRADITIONS WERE SO COOL. THEY HAVE THIS DANCE AFTER THE WEDDING IS OVER FOR THE COUPLE AND ITS THE MONEY DANCE. YOU PIN MONEY TO THE BRIDES DRESS WHILE THEY DANCE AND ITS SUPPOSSED TO START THE COUPLE OFF ON A GOOD LIFE.... I TOLD HIS PARENTS I WISH WE DONE THAT IN OUR TRADITION LOL...IT WAS SO FAMILY QUAINT. I WAS SO NERVOUS ALSO BECAUSE LEON AND I WALKED MY DAUGHTER DOWN THE ISLE TOGETHER AS HIS PARENTS DID ALSO. THEN THE MOTHERS HAD TO LIGHT THE UNITY CANDLE. I HAVE TO SAY THAT AS I WAS WALKING I WAS THINKING HOW A WHILE BACK ALL THREE OF US WOULDNT HAVE FIT DOWN THE ISLE TOGETHER. LOL...THE PHOTOGRAPHER TOOK TONS OF PICS SO CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM. ILL TRY TO SEE WHAT EVERYBODY TOOK AND GET SOME TOGETHER FOR YALL SOON. THEN THE RECEPTION WAS DOWNTOWN NEAR THE BOARDWALK AT A RESTAURANT CALLED AZUCA. I THNK IT WAS LATIN FOOD. MAN IT WAS GREAT ALSO BUT STUCK TO SEAFOOD LOL.... I SURE HATED TO GO HOME BUT I KNEW MY BABY WAS FINE WITH HER NEW FAMILY AND HUSBAND. THEY WERE THE SWEETEST PEOPLE AND SO LOVING. DOWN HERE THE MEN DONT HUG AND KISS SO MUCH BUT SHAKE HANDS.HIS FAMILY WERE VERY LOVING AND SO FRIENDLY. NEXT TIME WE GO TO TX THOUGH WE WILL SURELY FLY. YES I SAID FLY<<< NEVER HAVE BUT THINGS ARE A CHANGING AND THATS ONE MORE THING TO ADD TO MY LIST!! SO JUST WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW I WAS BACK AND MISSED YOU ALL. SO SEE YA MONDAY MORNING FOR WEIGH IN!! HUGS MARGE

Boy, it sounds like you had a fabulous time and the wedding sounded wonderful. Glad to have you back. Hugs. Jo

Welcome Home Marge, Sound like a grand time and I look forward to seeing some pictures.                                        Annie

What a great wedding! I love San Antonio, it's a terrific place. You definitely need to go back and spend more time seeing the sights. My uncle grew up there (he's 85) and he has all these great stories about old San Antonio. Glad you're back!!!

Marge, Really sounds like a great experience for you and your family!  Thanks for sharing it with us! Lori

Hi Marge, I love San Antonio. I'm glad you had a great time. I can't wait to see some pics. I bet you looked marvelous. ((((hugs))))

That is a really lovely mission, I bet it was a beautiful wedding!  And Azuca.. yum.  I love living in San Antonio (most of the time) but all that rain while you were here for has turned in to the most brutal humidity I've ever experienced.  Its not even that hot, but I am still so sweaty and it never dries.  UGH.  I'd have to have an early spring wedding in San Antonio, otherwise I'd be a soaked bride!   Glad you had a wonderful time, and congratulations to your families!
