Majo and Memel wedding celebration started the evening before the big day with a traditional “Calenda” (street parade). The meeting was at Santo Domingo plaza to end the party at a local bar a few blocks away from there.
The day of the wedding, Majo and Memel had another “Calenda” to walk their friends on their way to the reception. This time a giant puppets and traditional dancers walk everyone to the Hacienda Piedra Azul, an amazing location at El Tule, 20 minutes far from Oaxaca city.
One of the most lovely things I saw on this wedding (beside the incredibly emotive vows interchange) was a wall painted in a traditional mexican way to announce bride and groom’s names. Never seen this before!! What a lovely detail for them and for all the guests when walking on their way to the ceremony!!
