Well it has been a while since we have posted, but won't everyone be surprised tomorrow to see that we have a new post. I was able to buy my plane ticket to Peru, and we are very happy about that. I will be leaving on October 1, and arrive in Lima at about 11:00 p.m. That is on a Monday, which is good, because I think the airport will be less busy, and I can hopefully quickly get my luggage, and go through customs, and then the moment that Eliana and I have waited for for a long time, and thats when we are together. My parents also got their tickets to Peru. They will be flying up on November 9, the day before our wedding. We thought that Elianas father would be marrying us, but he will be walking her down the aisle, and instead I think that a pastor from Miami will be marrying us. I have met him, and actually was his roommate for several days while we were all at a conference in Lima. He is a friend of Elianas family. He speaks both English, and Spanish, and that is great.
I have had to get my birth certificate legalized for Peru. I had to send it to the Secretary of States office in Kansas, and then to a Peruvian Consulate in Denver. And now that I got it back from the Consulate, I will be sending it to Eliana. Some of you might have heard that there is a civil marriage process that we have to go through, and thats basicly doing the paperwork, and some other stuff. After that we are officially married according to the Peru government. We hope to have that all completed sometime in October, or the first days of November. And I am sending my birth certificate to Eliana, because then she can reserve a day for us to have our civil ceremony. And then on November 10 is our wedding. Some of you might be wondering when is our honeymoon, after the civil marriage, or wait until after the wedding in the church. We will be going on our honeymoon after our wedding in the church. Eliana had a picture of a beautiful wedding dress that she has liked for a long time, and its exciting, because that is being made just for her. It really is a very beautiful dress, and we will certainly post pictures after the wedding. Good night everyone!
