Meeting with ESL Partner: Numero Seis

Last Thursday, April I met with my ESL partner briefly for the sixth time this semester. We met once again at 1876 but did not stay long because he had work to go to later on that day. We talked more about his wedding and the plans they have already been making. He said that they have visited many venues but do not like any of them so far. He said it is funny because both him and his new fiancée are very picky and so planning should be quite difficult. They have picked out the color of light blue though and he even had a picture of the color with him. He also said that he wants their wedding cake to be Dulce de Leche or Dos Leches cake because it’s his favorite. I have had this cake before during one of my Spanish classes in high school and it is pretty yummy. He also said it feels weird calling her his fiancée which I thought was funny because I feel like that is such a guy thing to say. But he says he really loves her and claims he has “won the lottery” by being with her (how sweet!). I noticed this past meeting that he is very proud of his family and friends because recently he has started showing me pictures on his phone from his beautiful fiancée to his rambunctious niece to his adorable baby nephew. We also discussed how being from Mexico, it is going to be harder to get his family over here for the wedding and will require 6 months before they even get papers to do it! They are also having a mini ceremony in Mexico so that his extended family and friends from Mexico can see them together. I wished him lots of luck because I told him that I had just gone to a wedding and it was lots of fun but also seemed like a lot of work. I apologize for those of you reading (especially the males) that most of our discussion was about weddings but I personally love talking about weddings!
