My frequent readers will know that Jorge and my best friends are Juan and Viri. They already had their civil ceremony back in December, but this past weekend was their big Catholic wedding. It was SO MUCH FUN!
The wedding was held at Ocean Events, a beautiful outdoor venue set on the beach near Puerto Juarez, right in front of El Meco ruins. (Jorge and I almost chose this venue for our wedding last year, before deciding to get married in Merida.)
I got to be a bridesmaid (there were TWELVE of us!), and of course I took pictures… you know me.

I told you there were 12 of us
It's a Mexican tradition for family and close friends to pay for certain parts of the wedding. Juan and Viri sponsored our wedding cake, so we sponsored their dessert table... money well spent.
Here's a Mexican wedding tradition for ya... the men carry the groom off to the restroom. They undress him (completely), and bring his clothes back to the bride, who then has to go to the restroom to dress him again.
Here they are bringing the clothes back.
The wedding was filled with great food (especially the cupcakes… ooooh, the cupcakes…), tons of dancing (the dance floor was NEVER empty, and the salsa music was the most popular), and tons of friends. We ended the night around 2 am.
Congratulations, Juan and Viri!

Looks like such a fun wedding! And your dress is GORGEOUS! I can’t believe there were 12 bridesmaids- were there 12 groomsmen, too? I don’t even think I have 12 friends! And what is with the king outfit?
It looks like such a fun wedding. 😀 And wow, look at all the bridesmaids! Loads of you. hehe.
You and Jorge are actually such a gorgeous couple. ❤
And I absolutely love Viri's dress.
Beautiful wedding.
Congrats to you friend! I really admire that her wedding had so many bridesmaids! It’s so lavish to have an entourage when coming down the aisle and that wedding photo with the bridesmaids lined up is striking– ooks like something out of a movie!
