Mexican Wedding...with none of those cookies

This weekend Eter's brother, Israel, and his fiancee, Marisol (cute name, huh?) got married. It was a two-day affair, because the Mexican government doesn't recognize religious ceremonies as legal marriages. So, they have to get married civilly first, and then in their church.
Friday, I went down to Tijuana and they got married legally. And the judge came right to the restaurant--so convenient! Here are some pics of that day with Eter's mom, brothers and the girlfriends.




Hmm, does anyone stand out in this picture? I feel huge around them. And I think I'm slouching pretty good, too.



Then Saturday was the sealing in San Diego, which I went to but didn't get any pictures outside because it all happened during my regular temple shift. Which was actually cool because I got to be the one taking her around and helping her get dressed and sending them out the door to everyone.

After that, Eter waited for me to be done and we drove down to Mexico again for a reception put on by her family. Her sisters made her dress, which was really pretty.



Anyway, I thought it would be fun for you to see his family. And to document at least one of my trips traipsing off to far-a-way Mexico.

Good thing you have your dark hair so you kind of blend-in! :) Those are cute pictures. Thanks so much for posting that. You are all 3 cute girls! future SIL's huh? Does the bride have balloon tied to her head?

I know, they are cute girls. And yes, if I were still blonde I would definitely stick out more! Potential SILs, yes. Ruby, the one in black, though, is not a member yet. Jared is working on it, I think. But yeah, I like all of his family which is SO good! And I think his mom is starting to genuinely like me. Or at least, feel more comfortable around me, even if she already like me.

So cute what a process! I always feel huge around my s-i-l and
m-i-l too! They are small and bone skinny. Oh well, you look cute. Marisol is a cute name.
