A Quiet Wedding

Derek officiated at a quiet wedding in the main church (Santo Antonio also called "The Matriz - Mother Church"). The bride and groom, here in the middle, were already grandparents, but they have been together for years, which seems to be very common here. I am not sure why? Money, maybe or lack of a priest to do the job at the time they became a couple. What amused me about the wedding is that the parish secretary and her husband, a local shopkeeper and local barber were rolled out to be the witnesses.
