Happy Father’s Day DAD!!!! Thank you for EVERYTHING! You are Amazing!
Also, this father day’s is Ana and Pedro’s wedding! Ms. Maria decorated their cake (GORGEOUS!) I told her she should start her own bakery or restaurant. She is an amazing cook.
So the day before the wedding the village helps kill the pigs, chickens and helps make tortilla and pooch (corn masa boiled). Their wedding was very nice…. 3 hour church service (includes wedding and christening of their baby girl Kira); then a reception party at the parent’s house. The village and church is invited to eat caldo (a kind of soup with chicken or pork in it) with pooch. Afterwards usually goes home around noon. They share the cake with just the immediate family and open the gifts in private. Surprisingly at K’ekchi weddings there is not much dancing that happens. Weddings here in Belize are a big to do and a lot of work. I was talking to one villager, Ms. Gloria, and she said in the states weddings are much easier because everything is catered!... She has a point, but I told her it is still a lot of work in the states too.
