It’s been a while since I last posted on the site, but with reason. The last few weeks have been some of the greatest experiences of my life.
I got married to the love of my life Sonia. I was so nervous the day of the wedding that not only did I cut myself twice while shaving but I also arrived to the church a few minutes late. Luckily the priest arrived half an hour later. The mass was great. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a mass that has sped along so fast. It was truly a blur. It was so romantic though I must say. While we knelt, we held hands. I couldn’t help but peek over at Sonia who looked so gorgeous.
The reception was something else. I was in such a great mood to see so many of my relatives (much love to all my cousins of the Duenas clan) and long time friends (Rachel & John, Favi & Adam, Katy, Santiago, Nilsa & Israel) in attendance. It was awesome to meet up with Hp, Oso and Mari. It was great that they considered me a good enough friend to attend the wedding. It was definitely good times. There are still memories that I am trying to piece together. I must apologize for that, but sometimes we can’t help ourselves. Much like what my friend Gabriel Garcia Marquez says:
“Life is not what one lived, but what one remembers and how one remembers it in order to recount it.”
The pictures and film that people took have provided different perspectives on the day, so it’s been cool to see what others saw through the lenses of their cameras.
We really appreciated everyone that attended the wedding, especially those that traveled so far to get to Porterville. We are so appreciative of all the wedding gifts that we received. Our guests were so generous. It was crazy how many boxes and bags adorned the living room and kitchen at 2141.
We honeymooned in French Polynesia. Tahiti and her islands are so beautiful. Moorea and Bora Bora are islands that everyone has to visit at least once in their lifetime. Words can’t describe their beauty. Only pictures do the islands justice.
