I had the great privilege of being invited to attend the wedding of Naty y Boris in Mar del Plata last weekend. Mar del Plata is about 5 hours by bus from La Plata.
Wedding customs are quite a bit different here. The ceremony was scheduled to begin at the church Friday night at 8 pm. The bride arrived at 8:45 pm. I'm told this is perfectly normal. Fashionably late I suppose. From there, we went on to the reception. We had drinks and appetizers to start, eating dinner around midnight. Then we danced. We sat down again for brownies and icecream. Then we danced some more and played some games. Around 4 am we had cake. Early in the morning we danced with masks, leis, and hats until about 5:30, when breakfast was served. More or less, that's how weddings go--a party all night long! The rest of the weekend we took advantage of the beach. We were blessed with warm mostly sunny days.

wow. I so would not last at a wedding like that. Though...the brownies are good incentive to stay awake. And the breakfast. Hmm...its almost like they just keep on using food as an incentive to stay awake and at the party. Not such a bad deal. :)
I know, I was surprised I didn't fall over drooling or something. Although, I admit I was probably a wee bit crabby from sleep deprivation the rest of the weekend. The dancing was what kept me awake more than anything--lots of fast songs. I mean the food was great, but it got to the point where I couldn't eat anymore.
