Last night Mark & I attended a wedding that clealy lives up to my title. Steven (from USA) & Ismenia (from Brasil) met on-line, conversed using their computer translators, and fell in love. He travelled to Brasil to meet her face-to-face a few months ago. Almost instantly they knew they were meant for each other. It was so sweet to witness this couple exchange their vows; he in English, she in Portuguese, by an Hispanic officiator who could speak both languages. Love was written on their faces by the way they looked at each other and the words they expressed. Their reception also showed the blending of cultures with both American and Brasilian food. We got to drink Guadana (soda from Brasil) and taste some of the best Brasilian homemade "truffles". The peanut ones were WONDERFUL! And we got to learn a couple of Portuguese words: beso (kiss) and saude (cheers!). Thanks, Steven & Ismenia, for inviting us to your wedding!
