Brazilian Weddings



So we had a Brazilian wedding to go to a few weeks ago. There are some big differences. First, the wedding was on a Thursday (that was the only night that the bride could get the place for the wedding). Second, Brazilian brides are always late. The wedding invitation said 6 pm but she didn't start walking down the aisle until 8:00. What's funny is that there were finger foods afterwards, but most of us didn't eat beforehand, so someone went and got us food. We sneaked it around both before and after the ceremony (we did have enough decorum to restrain ourselves during!).
The pic on the left is of the bride and me (in my all-Brazilian outfit), and the pic on the right is a package of the "contraband" wedding cookies. It was unlike any I've been to so far....
