Greetings my dear friends Stemians! I hope they are fine! On this occasion, and in the context of "Valentine's Day", I want to share with all of you a photographic review of one of the happiest events in the life of my wife @danycaro and in mine: The day of Our Wedding! !!
After almost 8 years of courtship, the proposal of rigor and the lucky "If I Agree", we decided to put a date to our Ecclesiastical Wedding. I do not deny that many doubts assailed us, especially with regard to the future and what destiny would bring us; However with our love as center and holding hands of God, we decided to throw ourselves into the water.
Talking about the theme we would use for the reception, and seeing that it was difficult for us to agree, we came to a very Solomonic decision: We would use a minimalist and traditional concept, but at the same time it would be a "gamer" wedding with elements alluding to my dearest hobbie "video games".
The truth is that although we did not have many resources to do a celebration in style, we set out to plan everything ourselves and thanks to many friends and family who supported us we were able to realize our dream wedding.
Many of the details we wanted to have for that day came after an arduous search, such as the dress of the bride. My wife wanted something simple and with what she felt comfortable, arriving at the end to find a model that not only fulfilled those expectations, but, in my opinion, made her look incredibly beautiful ... What do you think? ?
The ecclesiastical ceremony was held in the parish "San Juan Eudes", in the city of Caracas, which means a lot to us because in it we provide service by musically animating the Masses and other religious services. The priests who served as witnesses of our nuptial vows were Father Pedro Guerra and Father Miguel Vargas, with whom we have maintained a friendship for many years. It was a celebration full of feeling and spirituality. For us to receive the blessing of God, in the presence of our family and friends was very important.

After the ceremony, we went to the Celebration Hall which was beautifully decorated thanks to the collaboration of many friends and especially our "Wedding Planner" Milagros, who took great pains to take care of every detail and ensure that, in addition to maintaining a sober atmosphere and elegant, we had a space for all my friends who love videogames to enjoy at ease!
At the time of our first dance as spouses and the respective toast, we set out to start the celebration, thanking those present and excited to be able to share with so many special people for us.
The party immediately began! And those responsible for putting the musical touch were my friends from the group "Vitamina", a band of which I was director for more than 6 years and with which I toured many Latin American countries in important events. In this opportunity, they could not be absent, so they entertained the whole evening with excellent music. And as expected, I got on the platform more than once!
As usual, I could not miss the usual photo session with friends and family, in which we could capture a beautiful memory that still lingers. Here I leave a brief sample. It should be noted that the godmother was the sister of the bride, who traveled from Australia to share with us this special night.
The Godmother!

Courtship!
I could not miss a Selfie !
One of the most emotional moments of the night was the surprise we prepared Daniela. The accomplices of this gift were several musical friends, among whom were Fernando in the Batería, José Ramón in the keyboards, Javier in the bass and I with my guitar,. We wanted to give the bride a very special repertoire. To complete this ensemble, a very good friend, excellent singer and a hundred percent artist came to accompany us. I refer to Diego Rojas, who is currently one of the main singers of the renowned Venezuelan group "Guaco".
Diego, before joining the ranks of "La SuperBanda de Venezuela", was a member of Grupo Vitamina and we cultivate a great friendship there. For the occasion, we assemble acoustic versions of great Guaco themes such as "If my walls will speak" and "How it will be"; we also play songs by one of the most famous musicians of our country: Ilan Chester, giving to all present versions of "You are one in a million", "For someone like you" and could not miss, for obvious reasons, the song " Daniela".

At the end of the night, came the typical "Hora Loca", or "Cotillón", a very Venezuelan custom in which the guests put on masks, hats, wigs and use whistles, maracas, streamers and other party gadgets to celebrate big time Many of these items are made by ourselves, such as the masks that made allegory to the characters of Marvel and DC comics.
All the photos were taken by the excellent Venezuelan photographer Leonel Véliz. If you want to know more about your work, you can locate it in this Instagram address:
