They feel (and rightly so) that their alabaster and marble porticoes and fountains are a good arena for the nuptial business too, and since the wedding chapels are a dying breed (more people just live together in carnal sin nowadays) that they can double up, so to speak, on the rooms . Same-o/same-o ------ or not? *Quinceanera = a really big-deal coming of age party for a 15 year old Mexican girl - kinda like a Jewish boy's Bar Mitzvah . (A 'Bris' is NOT the same thing . ) Mexican godfathers are known (be forced) to mortgage their homes/property and sell cars to finance one of these parties, and they can last three days too .

Imagine having a bit of a dance in one room, while in the next the dearly departed is bouncing up and down due to the music. Odd. I don't know whether it will take off, except for those people that really like odd weddings. Carnal sin - long time since I've heard that. LOL. In the old days you did not live in carnal sin, you just went for a test drive. sarel	sarel (2490)

So the wedding was in the chapel downstairs and the party was upstairs where they normally hold the wakes. I wasn't around here then but apparently it was a good wedding	gary67 (56)
