Spanish Weddings

Might I at least supply a bride's name? Bonita Picante del Mujeres Calientes Now, in the US that might not go unnoticed, but as most of the UK news presenters don't know how to even pronounce "Jose" correctly, you'll be quite safe. And I'm glad to be of help.

To be honest (and I ALWAYS AM): I picked the first name because it sounds like (and is a name). None of the words are nasty. I'd not thought to use it for an image search. The Yahoo image search should not be done (at work) with the safety turned off. Not intentional - but the grand scheme of unforeseen consequences is one of life's party favors.

Well no, if the referendum goes the wrong way you'll be slung out back to Hungaria.

I haven't *changed* sides, I've just added an extra one. It's like when you have a spare car or whatever. :laugh:

I'm putting together a fake Spanish wedding, however I know nothing about Spanish weddings. The UK last year implemented an almost complete blanket ban on taking your kids out of school during term times. Some schools will allow you to do so for extraordinary reasons, such as a wedding, if you can provide a wedding invitation. I know someone who makes such things and is prepared to create whatever I ask for. The back story I have so far for my fake Spanish wedding, and my attendance at it, is as follows. A old mate of mine from university is getting married to a Spanish lady, she wants to get married back in the bosom of her family. So, fill out the story for me, I need a location somewhere around the Costa Del Sol, I need a name for the señorita, what day is the wedding likely to be on, is there any specific information that is likely to be on the invite, are there any particular customs about Spanish weddings, before / during / after, that I could be made aware of, any other detail you want to suggest to pad out my story. Obviously I don't need to go to so much trouble, but if you're going to invent something, might as well flesh it out as much as possible, otherwise I'm going to have to concentrate on work instead.

Whatever you, do don't mention the part in the ceremony where all the male guests have to redacted a goat after having redacted a chihuahua. It probably would not go down too well with the school's child care unit.

It's still mostly cheaper to pay the fine should you get one than to fork out for a holiday during the school holidays. I found myself looking at forest holidays recently, looking for a short break with the dog during October half term. The prices for the week after half term were exactly half of those during it.

Why not an Irish wedding? That way you can stretch it to two or three weeks! :beer: Okay. How about having it in Zahara de la Sierra[^]? Romantic village up in the mountains where her father has a small farm and vineyard. The family, at least her father's side, have been there for at least 300 years! We'll call her Ana Sofia Tobora Herrera and she is 29, and quite the catch for fat old Dave who you went to college with and played rugby/football/tiddlywinks with for at least ten years.

I'm sick of that. Let's be from Vermont. And let's have an emerging maple syrup conglomerate.

Much simpler if you call the school and tell them that the household has a vomiting bug. They want nothing to do with you until you have had 24 hours without being sick and the virus that causes this can easily last a week. The added bonus is no one wants to hear all the details on how you felt when you were throwing up.

really? Anyway, as Spaniard and married I can probably provide some details on what that means. 1.- Names: You know, we Spaniards have always two surnames (typically first surname is the father's first surname, second is the mother's first surname, legislation has changed recently allowing more freedom at the time of registration). There's a big article at the wikipedia: Spanish naming customs[^, but the above will probably suffice. Frequent surnames: García, Fernández, Sánchez, González, López, Rodríguez Frequent names for a woman: María (a safe bet) [note: beware of placing the acute accents at the correct place, also -ez termination in some surnames, no -es (that would be Portuguese or Hispanoamerican)] The Spanish National Statistics Institue provides access to the frequency of names and surnames at http://www.ine.es/en/daco/daco42/nombyapel/nombyapel_en.htm[^], so you can get a common enough name. 2.- Location: Feel free to go to google maps. Take a starting place, then look for a church. Marbella is the capital of Costa del Sol. If you want to have something less typical (far from foreigners), try somewhere in Castilla y León (León, Burgos, Segovia) or perhaps Asturias (Oviedo, Luarca) or you might want to get lost in busyness of Madrid. If your choice is Cataluña or Euskadi, surnames might change, but the INE page will allow to select statistics by province. I'd look for a small chapel. Not the cathedral or a famous church as it would be more difficult to book 3.- Date: Typically Saturday and typically mid afternoon. 4.- Other details: If it is a religious ceremony it will be in a church or a chapel (never at the celebration place). If it is a civil ceremony it will at the town council or (in some cases) at the celebration place. The bride is delivered by the marriage godfather, typically her father (or other man of her choice if the father is not alive). There are no maid-of-honors. The groom is delivered by his marriage godmother, typically his mother (or other woman of his choice). There's no bestman. The groom will wait for the bride. Everyone should wait for the bride inside and she should arrive slightly late (to

The fake wedding invite was an idea I had based on a letter from the school about them requiring them. I decided to try to flesh out the details because I thought it would be fun, and educational for myself. Thank you for the effort you put into that reply, very informative, and useful too.

The most important thing is the bullfight - name the bulls, and have pictures of them on the invitation, along with the bullfighter/toreador.

No bullfight for a wedding. Although there might be a small chance of a "capea", certainly not in the wedding day, but in preceding days (e.g. a long weekend where people are joining for several days) or as a stag&hen outing. Never been to, but a "capea" is basically an outdoor party where the participants get bumped and trampled by a (fortunately) very much scaled down version of a real bull, being still painful enough.

I thought that for those who paid large sums of money for their children's education breaking up before the main schools was part of the deal.

Yeah! With all those school fees, you can't afford the holiday price hikes on flights.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.
