Javi and Ani: La Boda

Last weekend was the wedding of 2 of our dearest friends here in Madrid, and the lifelong friend of Ricardo. So much fun! and such a beautiful event. Weddings in Spain are quite a bit different than back home. Since it was a catholic wedding, the ceremony lasted almost an hour. Afterwards, cocktails in the garden, a 6 course dinner, and then your typical D.J. party (but with lots of Spanish music!) Ricardo and Javi used to play in a band together and always talked about playing "live" for their weddings. Javi didn´t know, but Ricardo decided to suprise him with a special concert with all the guys from the band. It was amazing and such a special moment!
