And finally, it was my turn to walk down the aisle! I was so happy and proud my mom got to come to California all the way from Chile to give me away to Mr. Poodle. Right before we walked into our chapel I was super nervous, but once my pretty handmade veil flew away in the wind, we had a good laugh and relaxed all over again. 
I think this is the only picture I have of my with my veil still on.
The music started right when we were getting closer to the entryway. We played Desde que te vi from Natalino. The English translation is “Ever since I saw you,” which described perfectly the way I felt about Mr. Poodle.
You can see my veil in the background getting caught in the bushes:
We were ready to enter!
Once we reached the altar, our minister and very good friend Paul asked, “Quien entrega a Joy en Matrimonio?” - ”Who gives Joy to be married?”
This caught me totally by surprise, as I had no idea he added Spanish in to make things easier for my mom.
That was when my Mom gave me away to Mr. Poodle. He thanked her and we both kissed her.
My friend Connie and my mom traveled all the way from Chile to witness our wedding.
Paul continued:
“On behalf of the bride and groom, thank you for sharing in this very special day… “

Mrs. Poodle, Santiago, Chile/San Bernardino, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Industrial & Web Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Firefighter & Mountain Patrol Engagement Date: February 25, 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Mr. P's Grandparents’ Ranch About Me: I’m a Chilean girl who's crazy about nature and swimming. I enjoy carving, drawing, reading and sewing; I drool over computers, fabric, pretty paper, purple and patterns. To me, chocolate should be one of the seven wonders, right next to lemon pie. I never thought an exchange work experience program was going to change my life forever, but while working in California, I met Mr. Poodle, and ever since my days are better and brighter. We are two goofy souls that, after finding each other, couldn’t help but want to be together forever. It has being a long and sometimes hard road, since we have to deal with such a long distance between us, but we are now facing the last stage of our Fiancé Visa, and soon we will be together. You know the best part? We will be married! So I’ll be blogging from Chile until just a few months before our “green and purple” wedding.
