I am 21 years old and engaged. I was adopted from Guatemala as an infant and did not know much about a traditional wedding ceremony. Thank you so much for this! I would like to use some aspects of the traditional Gautemalan wedding in my own wedding. Once again thank you! I cannot thank you enough!

If you would like to visit your friend during their wedding ceremony, and you know the date of the event, we can arrange for an individual sponsor visit for you. Generally, individual sponsor visits allow you to meet your friend at the project office, subproject office or another public location.

Visits occur within normal project business hours and last no longer than one day. All visits between you and your sponsored friend must be coordinated through the Kansas City office.

We ask you to notify us as soon as you decide to visit. We request a minimum 30-day prior notice. This allows enough time for us to contact the project office to make sure they can accommodate your visit, and for you to complete and sign required forms.

For these visits, you will need to make your own travel arrangements, but you will have a chance to meet and spend time with your friend. Sometimes a member of your friendís family might visit with you as well.

The CFCA project staff will be present for the entire visit and will provide translation services as necessary.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Sponsor Services by email or call 1-800-875-6564 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central time.

If so, hopefully one day we can attend our sponsored child’s ceremony…

Me gusta el cuento de una boda en Guatemala. Yo espero que estes muy bien. Hola a ti y todos amigos en San Lucas Toliman. Libertad y yo rezamos todas las noches por nuestros amigos de San Lucas.

Besos y abrazos,
Christine y Libertad

My daughter, Bridget, was married in October 2010, and I was just about to send wedding pictures and a letter to my sponsored child, Angelica, in Guatemala. Knowing what a traditional Guatemalan ceremony is like will enable me to better explain Bridget’s engagement and marriage ceremony.
