Puerto Rico Wedding

Here is the groom looking under his wife's skirt (Is there anything there that is new??) It was a traditional wedding with the twist of Puerto Rico. Our family went down for five days to celebrate this union of my nephew Dan and his wife, Inia. We rented a lovely house in Rincon and twelve of us stayed there, lots of family, loving the beach and the pool and the coral reef out front. We hung out on the front balcony, ironed our wedding clothes, and were the hottest and sweatiest any of us could remember.

I love weddings! They are all the same, but with small differences. I want to tell all the brides and grooms that they should be loving and inviting to each other, not just for now, but over the long haul. Most of all, they need to be interesting to each other and for the whole marriage find topics to discuss.

There were funny things and lovely things happening. My four grandsons were stellar, so handsome and loving and fun! At the wedding we all danced. We all swam in the pool and explored tide pools and snorkeled on the reef. We discovered hundreds of terrestrial hermit crabs and huge green iguanas clinging to the trees.

All we ate were beans, pork, and rice, mostly. In Puerto Rico people don't eat many vegetables, but the fruits- bananas, mangoes etc- are wonderful.

Five days and we were ready to return. I am hungry for vegetables!
