Oaxacan Wedding Processions





Now…here’s a worthy photo topic for a calendar…

We got off our bus on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Our stop was the llano…a square near the centro. We were heading to our favorite taqueria, when the wedding procession met us walking the other way. They were strolling from the church to the reception place. It was a parade of guests in their wedding best as well as a few others who seemed to be part of making a show of the event. It was wonderful and completely different from any wedding I’ve ever attended. I snapped these photos as they passed.

Hey, let's do a processional with paper mache for the next CWOW wedding. I love it, really I do.

We'll have to bring Ping back to orchestrate the the puppet making.
