Adriana Melendro, who first introduced us, was there. Our moms flew in, as did Naila’s friend Ximena.

Gonzalo Galvis helped make it all happen, from paperwork to party planning, and added some nice words during the ceremony.

That night in Bogotá was clear and cool, with a full moon above. Our wonderful neighbors in Barrio Armenia threw us a party in the park.
