I had the chance in July to be in another wedding, this time here in Honduras. I am now a semi-professional bridesmaid internationally!

Melisa is the sweet friend that asked me to be a bridesmaid, who is the daughter of our bus driver and CREO's cook, Angel and Rosa. If you've ever visited, odds are you know them. She married Josh Shields, who is obviously a gringo and also a friend. Listening to Jeremias announce everyones' names (especially Josh's) might have been the most entertaining part of the wedding.

The wedding was really beautiful, and it was fun to see the Honduran/US cultures mix. They announce the names of the wedding party as everyone walks down the isle. Then we stopped and stood in two lines in the isle and blew bubbles as she walked through us. They do the civil ceremony where they sign the license before the ceremony begins, so the wedding party gets to sit. Also, because the reception is always in the same place as the ceremony they don't walk out after the wedding. Josh wanted to do that, so we did, but there was much confusion. Dinner and cake were provided by the hotel, and it was all delish.

Laura was a bridesmaid as well, which I believe is her 4th, not including her brother's next summer.. Which means that as a 16 year old she is well on her way to ACTUALLY being the girl from "27 Dresses."

(They're obviously very serious about the corsets. It was a great cultural experience.)
