Sleepless in B.A.

A once in a lifetime recipe.

Amor and more.

Take one feisty organised fabulous Argentinian woman

 

and one funny gentle flexible South African man

 

and a friendship formed in dubai add family and friends from all corners of the earth

and 10 days of festivities
in the most exciting eclectic passionate visually diverse
meat eating soccer playing location

imaginable

 

Argentina

then drop one word

wedding

 

Pow!

 

I am pretty close to speechless
(clearly not quite!)

sleepless in B.A.
sleep was not part of the recipe

but fun times were
with over 50 guests
from South Africa
and others from America Europe and the Middle East the party lasted for 10 days

We mobbed the city by day

we walked
took a bus
ran
took a taxi

and by night walked and talked
wined and dined taxied and bussed some more

stopped and stayed for hours in one place
with lots of other revellers
we got to know our wonderful new family
and their all embracing friends
and they got to understand a bit about us all this and more

culminating in a wedding beyond magnificent
perfectly organised to the final detail
with the first dance a fusion
of tango and African gumboot dance
(thank you Johnny Clegg for ‘Impi’) way beyond magnificent

a never to be forgotten event
thank you Sofi and James
Dadour and Lili
Clari Lucas
and Edu

with smiles
and gentle and generous ways
and zero evidence of any stress at all
you made magic and miracles happen
in magnificent Buenos Aires.
