i'm of irish descent as well but i'm also half hispanic... odd combo i know...
my best friend in denver got married in her garden, barefoot, and in a dress she made herself (i call her a granola girl cuz she grows her own veggies, has a compost pile, and no microwave or cell phone - but she insists she's just a purist) - we picked her bouquet out of her garden and she catered all the food herself (his parents helped - they are brazilian and made some AWESOME food!) - it was, without a doubt, the best wedding i've been to! (second best was a "masquarade" wedding in pittsburgh the day before halloween...) my cousin, on the other hand, had a huge traditional wedding and presented (did not ask, merely presented) her parents with a HUGE wedding bill... that wedding wasn't as much fun... too pretentious... --- In [email protected], "algriner1" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Of Irish descent for both of us.
