A Spanish Wedding

We went to an amazing Spanish wedding this weekend. My husband's nephew and his girlfriend decided to get married in her village. Unfortunately the month before we suffered strangely heavy rains and as a result part of the church interior fell down and the Bishop announced that as there was no money the church would be closed.
Now villages in Spain are incredibly close and they decided to repair the church themselves os the bride and groom, family and villages found cement mixers, paint, step ladders and time and repaired the wall. just as the last paint dried the wall on the otherside of the altar started to crumble. So all the equipment was moved over and they began again.
The wedding was held in this quaint church and over 350 guests attended a sit down meal in the village square. The love and warmth of the brides' friends was expressed in a number of different ways as some  friends showed a slide show with pictures of the couple as they grew up, another friend  gave   through expressive dances and then the band gave an astounding performance which went well into the early hours.

A beautiful ceremony and wonderful celebration
