Christina & Emanuel's Wedding

We attended Christina & Emanuel's wedding this past Saturday. It was a slightly drizzly and overcast day, and I only note this because Christina can't stand the heat and humidity - so the weather on her day was perfect!

This was my favourite moment of the entire day. Ever since he was young, Emanuel sang in the St. Micheal's choir (the Catholic mass that you see televised on Canadian television). After signing the register the St. Micheal's men's choir sang. It was beautiful and gave us all chills.

The wedding was full Portuguese - the first in a very long time. You know what that means? A Midnight Seafood Buffet! If you haven't experienced this type of wedding - I'll explain to you. After having a dinner of soup, salad, fish, chicken, beef and dessert - rows of tables are placed out at midnight with piles of lobsters, crabs, shrimp, codfish croquettes, mussles, suckling pig, pasteries, desserts, cakes - and of course, wedding cake. It's over the top.

Christina and Emanuel have been together as long as Nuno and I, just short of ten years. Emanuel and I were the staples at every family function for a long time now. Man, Christina & Emanuel are one of those marriages that everyone's been waiting so long to see. They are so happy and perfect for each other.
