Marrying in Colombia

First off I have to apologize for taking a huge hiatus on this blog.  I went back to the US in November and returned to Colombia right before New Years.  I helped Veronica plan the wedding which originally was going to be Feb. 28, but because the Notaría require a certified copy of my birth certificate and for it to be apostille, we had to push the wedding date to March 13th.  Many thanks to my sister Mish and her friends in India for helping me get the birth certificate.  More to come on the birth certificate in the next post.

My Mom flew all the way down to Colombia for the wedding.  I was quite proud of her as she's 82 years old and doesn't speak any Spanish.  My sister Carol was going to come, but her husband broke his foot badly a week before and so she wasn't able to come.  I wished that all my family and friends could have been here, but at least I can share the pics.

Here's a video that I put together for the reception (Note that you will have to view it on a computer because of the copyright music.)

    Felicidades Bryan y Veronica. Oramos que ustedes tienen un muy feliz matrimonio. Deseo nos podría haber estado allí.

    (Translated: Congratulations Bryan and Veronica. We pray you both have a very happy marriage. I wish we could have been there.)

    Hope I said that right hopefully 4 years of high school Spanish helped.

    Theresa and I are very happy for the both of you. It will be great when we get to meet your Bride.

    Congrats again Bryan. I am glad God put someone special in your life.

      We're hoping your travels together include a visit to Northern CA, so we get a chance to meet your beautiful wife. Enjoy the rest of your adventure!

      Gracias Darin. She is a real blessing in my life and I'm enjoying traveling with her. I thought of you when we were traveling through Costa Rica as I remember you telling me how much you enjoyed it there :)
