On to the Hotel Loretto...................

The Wedding of Mario and Jesusita--Part 2, The outdoor Reception in the grassy courtyard of the Hotel Loretto...........

One thing I really appreciated about a break of a few hours between the ceremony and the outdoor reception was that it gave us a chance to relax at home and doff the monster hat--settling instead for the "monster" hair.................

Jesusita wants her Daddy to still look perfect after taking off his formal suit jacket.............

And Mario is beaming as a waiter passes behind him. This portion of the reception features a full bar and delicious canapes..............

OOOh, and that scrumptious cake was on display amid shimmering Chrystal baubles.......

Dwight is thrilled with his warm reception by the bride...............

A heartfelt hug from Mama..............

Mario is finding himself muy simpatico with his newly inherited cousin...........

The very friendly photographers allowed me to take a few shots while they were arranging the formal photographs..................

She's a beautiful bride.............

And a playful one too..........................

I had never seen this pose before, but everyone seemed to agree that it was definitely the "hot shot"...........................

But I like this one too................

Posing with Aunt Carmen......................

Homme pensive................

Big sister, Carmen, rocks this spring's hot look-animal print................

It's pretty obvious that this young woman was raised with lots of love..................

"Daddy, I love you!"..........

Hello, beautiful! .....

ROMANZA!
