Uncle Brandon chasing Daisy on the beach was one of many memorable moments.

We spent much of the week with Noel and Christine, Christine was Alini's college room-mate in Sandiago.  We enjoyed their company all week long.

This was our family photo, from our first day on the beach.

It was a big time for Daisy, either on the beach with Dad,

or spending time with Uncle Brandon

or cousin Gavin.

Gavin had fun too.

Saturday was the big day for the wedding.

A combination of humidity and nerves, I sweat through my shirt, before the festivities even started.

We got to meet many of Alini's friends,

I thought these girls were sisters,

this shot did get the Rude sisters.

Alini's uncle literally saved the day.  The Priest did not show for the wedding!  Luckily, as a part time Judge, he filled in for the ceremony, and got everyone going on the dance floor.  (Sorry I don't have any pictures from the actual ceremony, as Grace and I were in it.  Therefore, the actual ceremony is not pictured at this point, I need to get some more pictures from others)

The rehearsal dinner was amazing!

They cooked all the meat on spits,

this particular cut was my favorite.  They just kept coming around with more meat, expecting you to take each slice and add it to your plate,

unless it was chicken or sausage, in which case they would slide off the bottom piece.  Wonderful food.

This is our new family in Brazil.  Alini's father, mother, and grandmother, Manuel, Layla, and Augusta.

An amazing trip.  More pictures later.
