Novias

A bride and groom having their wedding photos taken at the Alcázar in Sevilla

In Spain, I think about Candice (my sister-in-law) often because the city has numerous bridal boutiques and I often see brides getting pictures taken at picturesque spots here. (Candice is getting married this summer.) One Sevilla plaza in particular is fittingly filled with both bridal boutiques and children’s clothing stores. Check out this shop window:

They often have a mother-of-the-bride dress next to the bridal gown on display – Charlene, have you found yours yet?

We also often see decked-out wedding guests, shiny cars decorated for the newlyweds, etc., because we visit little pueblos on Saturdays, and the cathedral is typically the most important site to visit in a Spanish town.

A wedding taking place inside the cathedral in Cadiz

On our Saturday afternoon in Cadiz, we planted ourselves at a cafe across the plaza from the beautiful cathedral. In the time it took us to drink a few glasses of sangria, we saw 3 separate weddings get underway.

Candice, I can’t wait to celebrate your wedding day!
