Friday night we attended a beautiful wedding here... but the prep started Friday morning after school (it was early dismissal after Christmas parties!) Chase was asked by Yenny (one of the teachers at ANIJA) to be one of her girls... she actually had the opening roll of cutting the ribbons strung across the aisle...
Chase and I went to the salon to get her hair done! A first for the Trautwein family... but truly a common Dominican experience! Milagros Dougan was our guide as her daughter Alina was also in the wedding. Chase learned that this idea of beauty can be painful... the hairdryer was a little hot... but... all ended well!
Milagros puts on the final touches...
Chase carried out her roll perfectly... walking down the aisle first in front of some 300 people, cutting the ribbons as she went. There was no electricity... so a car was driven up to use the headlights, in addition to a few candles! It was a great ceremony and wonderful celebration. We were honored to get to attend and be a part! This is a neat family of very humble earnings, but truly great in spirit.
