Spanish Wedding - guest etiquette

2009-09-01T19:03:23Z

I have been invited to a Spanish aquaintances wedding. I do not know them that well….
so I have just accepted to go to the church service and forgo the sit down dinner (partly as I know they are paying!)...
What should I expect at the church?
The invitation says the church part is 2hours long. Is it really going to fill all of that time?
Is it the norm to wear a flower in button hole?

(I have prehandled the gift bit by buying a gift voucher for El Corte Inglese. I am sure they will not object

Any tips?!

Humanists in the Costa del Sol?

2008-04-07T10:50:30Z

Are there any humanists, rationalists, secularists, atheists, agnostics, skeptics, freethinkers, and the like in the Costa del Sol?
If so I have just started a Yahoo group which you can find here PM for more
The idea of the group is to allow humanists in the region to be in contact and exchange views and ideas, and with sufficient interest it may be possible to organise meetings.
Please join the group if this subject interests you.

In Madrid?, seeking places to run, workout, get in shape?

2010-01-29T19:51:05Z

Hi there to all!

My name’s Dave and I’m living and working in Madrid. I cater to the fitness needs of the expat community to include places to run, connecting workout partners, helping people find the nearest (cheapest gyms) and more. I’m also doing personal training for the expat community as well. I have found that a number of clients either 1. don’t want to join a gym 2. do not want to work with a spanish speaking trainer because of the language barrier. If you are looking for anything I mentioned above, including a free consultation and possible fitness training, you are more than welcome to send me a message.

On a side note, I am arranging a group called E.R.R (Expats Running Retiro). The first meet will be this Saturday and everyone regardless of age, speed, fitness level are encouraged to come out and meet others. No one will be by themselves, everyone will have someone to run/walk with. SO COME ON OUT!

What: E.R.R. Meeting (Expats Running Retiro)
Where: Retiro Park - Meeting point is the Main gate (Puerta de Acala - Arch Monument in the middle of the big traffic circle)
Time: 11am - We will be running around the park clockwise to pick-up others waiting at other gates.

Ciao!
