A New Experience...

We were invited to our first San Antonio wedding on Saturday evening and it was a wonderful experience! The bride's parents are good friends of ours from church and we felt very blessed to be included since it was a rather small wedding. It was held atop an old San Antonio building downtown and the reception was held there also. The view from the top was gorgeous and we looked down on an old estate that has been converted to a library. The weather was beautiful, except for the fact that it was rather breezy.


The men in the wedding party were all dressed in traditional Mexican shirts (there's a name for them, but I can't spell it). As soon as the ceremony was over, a mariachi band began to play as beverages were served and then we headed down to the former penthouse for the reception. The food and fellowship were wonderful and it was a perfect first wedding to go to in Texas!







The following morning was a special presentation of the triumphal entry into Jerusalem during the passover. It was held in our outdoor amphitheater for all the children and everyone was given palm leaves to wave as "Jesus" was lead through on a real donkey. It was pretty amazing!
