Mission Inn Wedding: Michael and Johana

Beautiful bugambilia flowers adorned the balcony of the Mission Inn. It was on this balcony that Michael waited for his bride to approach. Johana tapped the shoulder of the man she loved, he turned to see her smiling. That smile would remain on her face the entire day.
Family had flown in from Honduras to witness Michael and Johana get married. Her grandmother had given her a special blessing and her father walked her into the St. Francis of Assisi Chapel. Before a golden altar, Michael and Johana vowed to love each other forever. Marlon Martinez led a beautiful ceremony incorporating Hispanic customs as the exchanging of arras, the placing of a lazo around them, and offering flowers to Mary.
Outside, in unique Mission Inn tradition, their guest threw rose petals. They entered The Grand Parisian Ballroom and danced on a cloud of smoke. The dancing would continue the entire night. It was while dancing where they had met and fallen in love, so their first night of husband and wife would be no different. Johana even changed in a cute dancing dress. Michael never left her side… and he never will.

Bellas flores de bugambilia adornaban el balcón de Mission Inn. Fue en este balcón donde Michael espero que su novia llegara. Johana tocó el hombro del hombre que amaba, él voltio a verla sonreír. Esa sonrisa permanecería en su cara todo el día.
Familia voló de Honduras para ser testigos de la boda de Michael y Johana. Su abuelita le había dado un bendición especial y su papá la entregó a la capilla de San Francisco de Assisi. Ante un altar de ora, Michael y Johana juraron amarse para siempre. Marlon Martinez encabezó un linda ceremonia incorporando costumbres hispanas como las arras, el lazo y flores a María.
Afuera, en tradición única de Mission Inn, sus invitados tiraron pétalos de rosa. Ellos entraron al Salón de Baile Grand Parisian y bailaron en una nube d humo. El baile continuaría todo la noche. Fue bailando donde ellos se conocieron y se enamoraron, entonces su primera noche como hombre y mujer no sería diferente. Johana hasta se cambió a un lindo vestido de fiesta. Michael nunca dejó su lado… y nunca lo hará.
