well looky here! here i am with my favorite person in my favorite city!!! today was a verrrry long day. we woke up really early in the morning to take a flight from dusseldorf to paris. after landing in paris, anthony, his mom, grace, fr. efren and i said goodbye to the group we had been travelling with for the past few days and waited for my parents and anthony's buddy, steve, to arrive! it will just be the eight of us for the rest of the trip. the public transportation system is on strike here in paris, and so it took us a little longer than planned to finally get to our hotel. we only had half an hour to bring our stuff up to our rooms, change, and then meet back in the lobby before our journey to st. ambroise church for our convalidation ceremony (catholic wedding). i bought a new hair curler and everything, but i didn't even have time to BRUSH my hair!!! hahaha what a mess!!!! i wish i had more time, but in the end i know it doesn't really matter. it took us longer than expected to walk to the church, but when we finally got there it was quite beautiful to see. our wedding ceremony was very nice and intimate. grace thought i was going to cry, but i didn't feel like it at all. i just felt overjoyed. i also received my first communion and had my first confession today as well. talk about a holy day! after the ceremony, we had dinner at a cute restaurant near sacre coeur and then the four youngins took on the town while the four oldies (jk!) went back to the hotel to sleep. we had a lot of fun riding the metro, taking jumping pictures at the arc de triomphe, admiring the eiffel tower, and eating delicious banana/nutella crepes. i love this city!
what a great way to celebrate 3/13 years for me and anthony! we are so blessed! (=
