Belinda and Pedro’s Wedding Weekend!

This weekend was a very spectacular weekend. Last weekend after visiting my boyfriend Carlos’s grandmother, we were fitted for our dresses at a Cecilia’s Boutique on the outskirts of town. The bridesmaids’ dresses that Belinda chose for her wedding are very beautiful. They are strapless yellow dresses. After the fitting, Belinda and her bridesmaids (including me) went to the Galería Pacifico in Microcentro to pick out shoes. The shoes were black high heels and were identical.

Then we went to the jewelry store (Claire’s) to pick out pearl necklaces. The pearl necklaces are very pretty and were very reasonable to buy. On Tuesday after work, Carlos was fitted for his suit at the mall. He also bought new black shoes for the occasion. Before we went to the rehearsal, Carlos and I watched Argentina compete at the London Olympics. We both love watching basketball and soccer, and always root for Argentina to win. However, the Americans have a great basketball team with LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

After watching television, we went to the rehearsal at the church downtown, near Microcentro. We arrived there a few minutes before seven o’clock, after the traffic was settled down. I wore a conservative gray dress and Carlos wore a white dress shirt with black slacks. We received our bouquets at the rehearsal. The bouquets are very lovely. They consist of yellow and white roses and are made of silk. Carlos’s grandmother sat in the front row in a wheelchair with her breathing machine. She was happy that her granddaughter was getting married to a very suitable and handsome man.

The priest of Pedro’s and Belinda’s church was there and told the couple what to expect on Saturday. Pedro and Belinda’s church is large. Belinda told me that she was expecting a huge wedding, since Pedro was very involved with politics, campaigning in Buenos Aires and the rest of Argentina. For the rehersal dinner, we all ate at the Four Seasons Hotel nearby. We had Argentinean beef medallion and fresh shrimp. On the day of the wedding, Carlos was very nervous. I told him that he should not be nervous, because it was not his wedding day. Carlos said that he would marry me someday, and this reminded him of what our wedding day would be like.

At the church, there was lots of security. The reason for the security was that the President of Argentina came to Belinda and Pedro’s wedding. I thought that was very sweet of her to take time out of her busy schedule to watch one of her important advisors getting married. Belinda looked very beautiful in her wedding dress which was a white, strapless gown. We all celebrated Belinda and Pedro’s wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel. Their wedding cake was a white and yellow cake and was three tiered. Belinda and Pedro’s wedding was a very important and spectacular wedding to remember.
