December 26th, 2009!  Yuliza and I have found a great location for our wedding!  So now we can definitely say that the wedding date is Saturday, December 26th at 2 PM.  The location is a place called Granja Lucita, and is located very close to everything.

This is really a perfect spot!  It’s up in the mountains and has a great view of the countryside.  And the place is full of cute gardens. Besides being georgeous, its location is perfect.  It’s about 15 minutes from the orphanage, 20 minutes from Yuli’s family, and 25 minutes from Antigua where my family will be staying.

But an even nicer feature is that it handles pulling together all the different details of the wedding.  Stuff like decorations, food, cake, photographer and sound equipment; they help out with everything.  This was very important to me because we have to plan everything while I’m here in the US, and so it lightens the burden on Yuli tremendously.

We’re thinking that about 250 people will probably make it to the wedding!  Obviously it will be mostly Guatemalans plus a few friends and family from the US.  Want to come?  Let me know!  We’d love to have you, and I will be creating a website with more details about what to expect.

Here’s two pictures of the location of the ceremony and reception:
