Every summer growing up, my family would take an annual trip to Mexico to visit family. I remember never wanting to leave the company of my cousins and enjoy the sense of community Mexico projected. As we grew older, less of the family reunited. My siblings grew older and started creating their own families. Schedules wouldn’t align and we could never all meet in the middle to continue our tradition. However, this month, things changed but everything felt all the same.
I say this because my closest cousin’s wedding took place in Mexico. This special event is what brought us all together and continued that tradition with new members of our family! Seeing all my siblings gathered in Mexico felt euphoric as we reminisced on fond memories we had created in such a beautiful country.
The wedding itself was beautiful and was the perfect event to create even more memories with my entire family. It’s something about seeing everyone in the same place and enjoying each other’s company. As a very nostalgic individual, hearing everyone’s laughter and seeing them all dance definitely brought tears to my eyes. It had been years since the entire family was able to reunite and the cherry on top was that it happened in Mexico. Overall this was a very fun weekend and I feel very blessed to have been able to finally continue our tradition.
