Church wedding

Please note that many people would like to have a church wedding, a catholic one for most Colombians.
Make sure to speak to your church's priest (the one you belong to, not necessarily the one that you want to be maried by) and get the pre- requisites in order to get married.
My husband to be belongs to the Church of england! so you need a special permit signed by the bishop for something that is called a Mixed marriage delegation. This is not difficult to obtain but you need to get it signed at the Arquidiocesis de Cali, the offices are close to La Merced Church.
you may only be married by the catholic church in an actual designated church! so PLEASE make sure that you get proper permission for any chapel before you find out that you can't get married there.
Also if you want to be married by a catholic priest wave goodbye to any OUTDOOR wedding. This will not happen. You will have to get a registrar instead.
The most important requirement is the pre-marital course, this takes 2 days minimum, so please take this into account if there are any flight arrangements to be sorted.
these courses are not done by the priests themselves but by groups like Movimiento familiar cristiano who help couples with these courses.
Also you only get your marriage certificate from the church 7 days after the wedding and then it is important to take it to the notary to be able to register it and make it LEGAL. (usualy by then you are on your honeymoon and it gets forgotten that this is important to do)
well i wish someone told me first of all this!!!! I am a nerve wreck as my fiance will arrive in cali 3 days before the wedding. wish me luck!!!

Muy contenta, ahora solo me falta relajarme en las limpiezas faciales (ok nadie que haya sufrido una limpieza facial se relaja en ella) pero pronto llegara el bano de Luna y el masaje yupi!!!

Latest Advances

Ok. i still have 10 months, but since i will be leaving cali for 6 months it means that i have a lot less available time to finish everyting. If you are looking for invites in Cali. Editores Pasoancho on 56th and pasoancho street are very professional, and they are very reasonably priced. Would recommend it to anyone.
But in the end i went with Jairo Andrés Jiménez Cardozo and his mother Nubia since they own a printing company and Jairo is the brother of one of my university friends. (if you need to contact hime he is the Creative Director of UNORAYA 301 2425929) Once they are finished i shall post it here in the blog.

Hacienda La Viga - The chosen One

Classic Cars

found these right outside of the new Salerno pizza in San Antonio, it has a beautiful decoration and on the second floor there is an area where weddings and parties can be held, the best part is that you only pay for the food, and you bring your own docorations, but it is a great alternative that is easy on the budget. Apart from the fact that the wooden oven baked pizza is delicious!

Hacienda las Mananitas- Decorplantas

Incrediby beautiful
It is a bit away from cali about 15 minutes from chipichape, on the way to Yumbo, but the place is an event venue/ plant nursery so the decorations are all done with natural flowers, they have a little chapel in the premises, good parking space and a small river, fountains, a beautyful tree.
So it is high on the list.
The decorations are all done with class, they sell an "all included" package, except for the alcoholic drinks and the cake.
too many nice places, only one can be the chosen one.
