pilar & alejo

Puebla, Mexico

March 10, 2012

   Where do I start!?!  The location, Puebla Mexico, was beautiful, the groom, Alejo, was handsome as ever, and the bride, Pilar… well…     she  was absolutely stunning!!

We couldn’t have asked for nicer weather and a more beautiful location. You could hear the birds in the trees singing away. There were so many great little spots to take images we could have spent a week there!! lol The whole place was like candy for the eyes!

We started off on the grounds of the reception hall, Bodegas del Molino. Alejo got ready at Hotel Hacienda del Molino which is on the same grounds as the hall. A little cobble stone road went behind the reception hall over to the hotel, and boy was it a bumpy ride!

The Church, Nuestra Senora del Carmen, was glorious. Passers by took a peak in to get a glimpse of the ceremony and to see Pilar. After the ceremony the couple was whisked away in an old Ford back to the reception hall for many hrs of celebration! Till about 4.30am to be exact!

The food was quite good, the cilantro soup was my favorite! I love anything with cilantro really. There was lots of dancing and singing (from the band, not me!!) The flowers got stuck in the chandelier 2 or 3 times before they had to move so a lucky someone could catch the bouquet, and they took the garter toss to a whole new level. Before Alejo was to throw the garter, all the single men formed what looked to be a mosh pit (devil ears, tail and all) and tossed him around like a rag doll! I know right! But not to worry, no one got hurt. 

Pilar and Alejo make a magnificent couple and are deeply in love with one another! I venture to say from the moment they met…. And you can’t help but smile and share in their joy of life and each other as they are contagious.

I wish you many happy dances, life events and love throughout your many years together.
