Pedro and Filipa's Wedding!
My cousin Pedro and Filipa got married in February in Lisbon. It was a wonderful sunny day, and a very nice wedding. Pedro and Filipa (who had to speak through her vail) gave a very heartfelt speech in church and then treated everyone to an all day reception in the hills around Lisbon. It was a wonderful day, and as well as meeting most of my relatives, I also met some old friends from Macau whom I had not seen for years!
My brother Lourenço was the master photographer, ably aided by Manuel and Inês. They are lots of artful photos!
| At the Church Some pictures taken at the church, just after the wedding... Look at the smile in Pedro's face! Congratulations!!! |
| In the Garden After the ceremony, we all drove over to a nice "Quinta" where the reception and dinner were waiting for us. But first, we had a chance to enjoy the garden, and Pedro and Filipa got a chance to take a picture with each one of their guests. |
| At the Dinner Table A very tasty meal, good conversation, and a speech by Pedro's mother, Tia Teresa, followed. Everything went according to plan, although a couple of photographers were seen arguing for an "exclusive". High society weddings are always like this! |
| Into the Night... After dinner, a lot more talking and some dancing to cap of the day. Pedro, still smiling, brought has all some souvenirs in a basket. A candle for the girls, and some traditional "Licor Beirão" for the boys. |
