Paging all Latin Brides

Hope everyone can make it

Wanda- Visa laws do vary widely. My grandmother from Colombia already has a visiting Visa so we don't need to worry baput that. My other cousin wanted to come form El Salvador and it doesn't look like they will grant it, no matter what It has taken over 6 months

Hi,

My sister also lives in Ecuador and what she needed was an invitation and a notarized letter from me (the bride) stating why I wanted my sister to come. She made an appt. with 'el consulado' 4/16 and I sent her the documents by Delagado on 4/10. I cut it really close since it takes approx. 5 days to arrive and it actually got there that morning or the night before. I sent an actual invite since I wanted them to know that it was legit.

This is what the letter said:

New York, Abril 10 de 2003

Consulado General de los EE UU de N.A.

Guayaquil-Ecuador

Senor Consul:

Con el debido respoeto que Usted se merece, me estoy dirigiendo a usted, con el proposito de solicitar su permiso, para obtener una visa consular.

Estoy invitando a una parte de mi familia, que viven en la ciudad de Guayaguil-Ecuador, a mi proximo matrimonio que se realizara en la ciudad de (enter town where you are getting married)-New York. El dia 23 de Mayo de 2003.

Los familiares invitados son: Mi hermana la Sra. (neter family members by relation and name). Esta visita traera mucho regocijo a toda la familia.

Agradeciendole anticipadamente por el tiempo ques se gaste en darle atencion a esta carta.

Atentamente,



your name and it needs to be notarized. My sister was granted permission right then and there and actually arrived this past Friday.

Hope this helps and good luck!!

SOBE THANK YOU!!! You don't know how much this means to me!! Un beso

When do you suggest I do this? I have 2 cousins and 2 aunts(they won't have a problem). My concern are my 2 cousins and one has a son, we are saying is the ring bearer. If he does come, he will be in the wedding party somehow.
THANK YOU AGAIN!!

You are very welcome!!!!!!

I think you should send your actual invite right before you send out yopur invites since if there is anything they may request.

Good Luck!

So Ladies...are we all set for the GTG or what? Its tomorrow. So Excited!!!

Have fun girls

I am sorry girls but I will not be able to go tonight.

I am sooooo exhausted as I ended up having to work last night. I need to stay home to relax and spend some time with hubby.

Have fun!!

Sorry - I will not be able to make it - I have to work. Have fun....

I can't make it either. I haven't packed yet for my trip. I have been lazy the past week.
Have a good time.

I am so sorry that I cannot make it, a friend of mine is going through a hard time and I am pitching in w. her kids. I will make the next one though!
Poor Curly, planning a GTG is tough!

As it stands only myself, avesur and P&a91203 are going to be able to make it. I think it's best that we cancel being that there were SO many last minute drop-outs. We will have to re-schedule

GTG for tonight has been canceled.

How about either Monday - the night of Labor Day or sometime in the first week of June???? We really should all get together!!!

Are any of you going to the general GTG on the boat???

Bird- I am unable to make it to the boat GTG. Maybe someone else can plan it this time.

I just wanted to take a minte to wish Sobe good luck on her upcoming wedding Tmrw. FELICIDADES!!!!!!!

Sobe2003- 5/23/2003

Felicidades Avesur. Espero que tu dia este llena de felicidad!!!!!!!!!!
