Who's Patricia??


          Clearly I've been looking through wedding pictures lately and have been reminiscing on what happened almost three months ago, aka Marc and I getting married. I went cruising through some of our family member's Facebook profiles and came across some of the best pictures I didn't know we had. Some pictures that have stories all on their own. This picture is what happened at probably the funniest moment of our second wedding. I remember when Marc and I first began to talk about marriage, we had come to an understanding that it would have to be an Spanglish kind of wedding. We both have people in our families who speak and understand Spanish a whole lot easier than English. I don't think it ever occurred to me that I would have to speak Spanish myself, because I don't catch on to things like that. Typical Becca. Anyway, so we have two pastors at our ceremony, one Spanish speaking and one English speaking. They both had the same script to follow, so everything was said twice. Marc spoke first in Spanish, and as I'm waiting for the English pastor to give me the translation I quickly realized that was not the case. I'm not very confident in my Spanish speaking skills, let alone speaking it in front of a crowd, yikes. We're going back and forth between our English and Spanish lines, until our Spanish pastor says something that throws everyone off. I guess she forgot to change the name on her paper, and all I could hear say was the name Patricia. At this point, I was like, ahhhhh no, this is awkward. Fix it Becca, asap! I may not be quick with jokes, but I was determined to keep the fun vibes of our wedding going, so I smacked Marc's shoulder yelling, "Who's Patricia?", in the sassiest tone I could think of on the spot. Immediately, everyone starts cracking up, as I'm realizing only Marc could be super cute and look embarrassed over something like that <3 Clearly there is no Patricia, but it was definitely funny to see Marc's face when it happened. This might have been a "you had to be there" kind of moment, but definitely a great memory for anyone who was at the wedding.

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. Don't think you got away yet Patty!!

So close! We are so close to the end of the month. We've almost made it. I will finally have time off, and won't be as tired as I've been. Thank you love for sticking with me this month. I know it's been hard. With all of my sleepiness and staying on campus to get work done, even when we see each other, I feel like it lasts for just a few moments. There is also something super exciting about seeing our diplomas next to each other. For two, first-generation college students, we sure have done well for ourselves. Teamwork makes the dream work right?? I think so! It definitely helps to have a superstar on the team anyway. And by superstar, I mean Mr. Do-It-All-Himself-Colón. Thank you for being such a great teammate! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I still don't know why you don't complain about the accent mark!

Sometimes we see, read, or hear things that we try to get across. For me lately, I've been trying to get across what young love means, and the beauty of it. Today, I came across another blog, where someone worded it in simplest form. Short, sweet, and to the point. Thank you Anonymous, I couldn't have said it better myself. " The question is asked: “Is there anything more beautiful in life than a young couple clasping hands and pure hearts in the path of marriage? Can there be anything more beautiful than young love?” And the answer is given: “Yes, there is a more beautiful thing. "It is the spectacle of an old man and an old woman finishing their journey together on that path. Their hands are gnarled but still clasped; their faces are seamed but still radiant; their hearts are physically bowed and tired but still strong with love and devotion. Yes, there is a more beautiful thing than young love. Old love.” " With love always, Becca Colón P...
