The wedding was gorgeous. It was at La Chumbera which is a restaurant/special events place that clearly specializes in weddings. It is located up on the side of a mountain with a gorgeous view into Granada and of the Alhambra. The ceremony was what I'd call an untraditional Jewish ceremony. It was officiated by one of Amy's friends from work that happened to speak English, Spanish and French, which represented the main languages spoken by the guests. There were probably about 70ish people there, with a lot being friends from all over and a good number of David's relatives from Spain.
Michael got to be part of the ceremony, as one of 4 sides of the chuppah. Amy wanted a chuppah, which is a traditional part of a Jewish wedding that represents the home that the couple will build together. It is a canopy like thing that is usually a solid structure that is decorated for the ceremony. Well, in untraditional style, Amy didn't order a chuppah to assemble for the ceremony, she had a "living" chuppah.
Amy looked gorgeous, she is not the white princess dress type, but the black lace dress was perfect!
After the ceremony and the sun went down a bit, there was a lot of picture taking with the great view as the backdrop.
Michael and me with the parents of the bride, Andee and Murray. It was great catching up with Mom and Dad Klein. Not only did we see them at the wedding festivities, but we got a chance to have dinner with them when we were both in Sevilla earlier in the week.
After dinner, the party moved into the cave. Literally. As the restaurant was built on the side of the mountain, the inner parts of the facility were dug into the side of the mountain. It was pretty neat, not something you can experience here in Houston. They had a DJ and his lights were causing the purple color. We left around 3:30 in the morning, but I think that a number of folks stayed even later than that. Congrats Amy and David and thanks for a great excuse to splurge on our summer vacation!
