Taybar and Patty's Wedding
Thank you for your prayers: the journey to and from Lages went well, the wedding itself was a great celebration, and we were back in time for a good Peregrinos meeting. The only glitch in the day was that Bec and Tom were delayed at Congonhas airport, São Paulo, and arrived over an hour late. Given their state of tiredness and ours this did not help, but we still talked till late once we got home with them.
The photo showing money being counted has to do with a tradition at Brazilian weddings. The groom's tie is sold off, in pieces, to the men, and the women put money in one of the bride's shoes. In this way is the honeymoon sponsored! On this occasion the guests came up with just over 700 reais; a sizeable sum. The informal portrait was taken on the way back to Florianópolis: we provided the nuptial taxi.
There are more photos of the wedding here.
