They got married at a venue called "The Red Barn" in Matamata. Take note all you kiwi brides. If we were getting married in New Zealand, this is where I would go. It was amazing. A huge outdoor fireplace, and beautiful indoor/outdoor reception area.
Claudia's parents rode a bus 22 hours to get to Buenos Aires from their home town of Barriloche and then had to board a plane for 13 hours. Matt worked hard to practice his vows en español and all of the speeches were translated so that her parents didn't miss a beat.
The ceremony was outside under a huge beautiful oak tree.
Late night party hats, masks, boas, and whistles.
It was such a fun and beautiful wedding. And, an added bonus was that seeing a wedding unfold suddenly inspired Mr. Veggie to have a wealth of wedding ideas. He's been all wedding talk for the past three days. He's made unprompted suggestions about favors, table settings, and center-pieces. I'm starting to worry about him.
Another bonus: The wedding was in Matamata, a.k.a. Hobbiton, where the Lord of The Rings Hobbit Village was located during filming. No, we didn't go on a tour. Who needs to with photo opportunities like this right in the center of town?
