Treasuring the Memories

Some of you may have read about my Abuelita passing. I mentioned that I was very close to both my maternal Grandmother and Grandfather. So instead of a simple floral addition (hyacinths in my bouquet and in my Fiancé's bout) which will likely be overlooked by half the persons in attendance, I will also be displaying photographs of my maternal Abuelos and my Fiancé's maternal grandfather next to the guest book.

Luckily I was able to find this beauty, one of their original wedding photos. This is quite rare as no one was allowed to bring anything (including their wedding rings) over from Cuba. My only guess is that someone in Cuba mailed these to my family in the U.S. after the Bay of Pigs.

 Family Photo: Photographer Unknown

I treasure this photo more than anything, and I hope that one day our wedding photographs will be treasured by our family. Which brings me to my next post about our photographer... or lack their of. But you'll have to stay tuned for that episode.
