The Aztec Humanist

My cousin celebrated her wedding on November of 2019 in small town in México where she found a wonderfully rustic hacienda. She offered me the honor of officiating at her ceremony. 

My cousin also asked my aunt - well versed in the traditions of the Anahuac - to help her select several pre-hispanic ceremonial elements. Then my cousin asked us both to create a hybrid ceremony for her. 

I felt so happy being a part of this beautiful example of the strong bond among generations. 
​My cousin is a Polynesian dance instructor and she has been competing internationally for many years.

​These events are about more than just dancing so my cousin has become a very skilled costume designer. 

She made her own wedding bouquet.
