Omar y Elisa


The wedding last night was very different than a wedding in the U.S. It lasted over 2 hours and they have a civil and religious ceremony. The first is the religious, the second was a Bahi ceremony, which is a religion here in Honduras.

Afterwards we had quite the experience with our meal. It was dark by dinner, so we were hardly able to see what we were being served! When we got to our table we couldn't see a thing, so we were blindly eating food! Good thing we knew what the tamales were! They were muy delicoso!

The bride and groom were lovely, and had many friends and family there to support them. Omar the groom has been a resident at the Hogar since he was 2 years old and lived here until yesterday when he got married! Elisa is the sister of one of the house Moms for the boys. Omar and Elisa have known each other since they were little.

It was truly an honor to share in their special day!
