We got invited to our neighbor’s wedding, whose daughter Grace happens to be Jasmine’s constant companion. Jasmine was very excited about the affair, and carried the invite with her for several days, as this would be her first wedding.
On the big day the weather was superb – sunny and in the 70s. Grace’s family were all decked out, and Grace had a fabulous hairdo of ringlets. The wedding was entirely in Spanish, and my four years of language schooling allowed me to understand every fifth word, so I actually got a foggy idea of what was going on. Even so, there were many emotional passages and songs that didn’t need translation.
