ROYAL FAMILY

A MEMORABLE DAY

-->

I remember my auntie's wedding four years ago. It was a very memorable day.

First, all the family came to my grandmother's house. At four o'clock we went to the church for the ceremony, and after that we went to a typical Catalan house. We had a snack there and then the party started at about nine o'clock. There was an amazing band and everybody danced. Finally, at about midnight, I went to sleep in this typical Catalan house.

There were a thirty people at the wedding. I remember my little cousin fell in the pool. It was a really fun day and I felt vary happy.
