Les cuento que una día, estando sentados mis primas, tíos, abuela, mi mamá y mi persona en la mesa tomando café, suena el teléfono de la casa, el cual mi tía atiende, recuerdo que la cara de ella era un poema, los ojos le brillaban, estaba de lo más contenta con esa llamada, cuando la misma finaliza, le preguntamos qué había pasado, su respuesta fue: “La gata se va a casar”.
La gata es la nieta y sobrina mayor de la familia, así le apodan desde pequeña por el color de sus ojos, el enterarnos que se iba a casar nos sorprendió a todos por su corta edad (18 años), sin embargo fue motivo de celebración y alegría, recuerdo que la boda era en 2 meses, algo apresurado, pero importancia no se le dio, así que, por ser la nieta y la sobrina mayor, por ende la primera de las primas en casarse mi tí9a, mi mamá y mi abuela empezaron desde ese momento a organizar varias cosas.
I tell you that one day, while my cousins, uncles, grandmother, my mom and I were sitting at the table drinking coffee, the house phone rings, my aunt answers it, I remember that her face was a poem, her eyes were shining, she was very happy with that call, when the call ends, we asked her what had happened, her answer was: "The cat is getting married".
The cat is the granddaughter and eldest niece of the family, so she is nicknamed since she was little because of the color of her eyes, when we found out that she was getting married we were all surprised because of her young age (18 years old), however it was cause for celebration and joy, I remember that the wedding was in 2 months, something rushed, but importance was not given, so, being the granddaughter and eldest niece, therefore the first of the cousins to marry, my grandmother, my mother and my grandmother began from that moment to organize several things.

Cuando se habla de matrimonio, inmediatamente nos imaginamos un evento de magnitud, así sea solo por la parte civil, recuerdo a mi abuela llamar en varias oportunidades a la mamá de mi prima, preguntándole que necesitaban, que comida tenían pensado repartir, que páspalos iban a dar, si había champaña para el brindis, quien iba a adornar las copas de los novios, en fin, tantas pregunt6as que a veces agobiaban, lo que si no nos percatamos nunca fue, que a todo lo que mi abuela preguntara, la respuesta era la misma, “si, ya está listo”
Pues llego la semana del evento, LA BODA DE LA GATA, mi prima no vivía con mi tío, porque sus padres tenían mucho tiempo divorciados, sin embargo siempre manteníamos esa constante comunicación familiar, sobretodo mi abuela, nunca desamparó a sus nietos porque imagino yo que, sentía la necesidad de darle lo que su padre no le dio.
Recuerdo a mi mamá y a mi tía comprando ropa, que color me pondré… que vestido elegiré negro o azul, la peluquera estará libre ese día, las niñas deben ir con su mejor vestido, tantas cosas y preparativo para la fiesta de la prima mayor.
When we talk about marriage, we immediately imagine an event of magnitude, even if it is only for the civil part, I remember my grandmother calling my cousin's mother on several occasions, asking her what they needed, what food they were planning to give out, I remember my grandmother calling my cousin's mother several times, asking her what they needed, what food they were planning to give out, what they were going to give out, what kind of champagne to toast, who was going to decorate the bride and groom's glasses, in short, so many questions that sometimes overwhelmed us.
The week of the event is here, LA BODA DE LA GATA (THE WEDDING OF THE CAT) My cousin did not live with my uncle, because her parents were divorced for a long time, however we always maintained that constant family communication, especially my grandmother, she never abandoned her grandchildren because I imagine that she felt the need to give them what their father did not give her.
I remember my mom and my aunt buying clothes, what color will I wear... what dress will I choose black or blue, the hairdresser will be free that day, the girls should go with their best dress, so many things and preparations for the party of the older cousin.

Pues el tan anhelado día llegó, la fiesta o recepción estaba pautada para el mediodía, y de manera puntual ahí estábamos los tíos y primas apoyando a la prima mayor, por supuesto mi abuela no podía faltar, cada uno estaba vestido mejor que el otro, mi abuela con un conjunto elegante que definitivamente siempre la caracterizó, mi padrino, esposo de mi tía con un tarje de corbata y demás, mi mama y con un conjunto de falda corta, pero elegante, tal cual ella le encanta, mi tía de traje largo, pues se casaba su sobrina mayor, y nosotros, unos vestidos de fiestas bellísimos, dignos de llevarlos a un evento de moda.
Well, the long awaited day arrived, the party or reception was scheduled for noon, and punctually there we were the uncles and cousins supporting the older cousin, of course my grandmother could not miss, each one was dressed better than the other, my grandmother with an elegant outfit that definitely always characterized her, my godfather, my aunt's husband with a tie card and so on, my mom with a short skirt outfit, but elegant, just as she loves, my aunt in a long suit, because her eldest niece was getting married, and us, some beautiful party dresses, worthy of wearing them to a fashion event.

Solo que cuando entramos a la casa, mi prima, es decir, la novia estaba en pijama y planchando, mi tía, la mamá de la novia limpiando, el novio durmiendo en short, los hermanos de mi prima jugando con tierra en la parte del frente de la casa, jajajajaja ninguno de los que estábamos en el carro queríamos bajarnos, puesto que en ese momento caíamos en cuanta que “La boda de la gata” no era nada elegante ni estaba acorde a ninguno de los trajes que nosotros teníamos puesto.
Only when we entered the house, my cousin, that is, the bride was in pajamas and ironing, my aunt, the bride's mother cleaning, the groom sleeping in shorts, my cousin's brothers playing with dirt in the front of the house, hahahahahaha none of us in the car wanted to get out, since at that moment we realized that "The wedding of the cat" was not elegant and was not according to any of the outfits we had on.

Cuando se empezaron a vestir, por lo menos teníamos las esperanzas que los trajes que se iban a colocar eran más adecuados a la situación y pues no, recuerdo ver a mi prima casarse con un pantalón de blue jeans.
De vuelta a nuestros hogares las risas no eran normales jajajajajaja, de verdad que parecíamos un evento de gala en un sitio no apto para ello, no se cuantas semanas tuvieron que pasar para acordarnos de lo mismo sin que las lágrimas no se salieran de tanta risa.
My grandmother quickly invented a parallel story to justify the elegant clothes we had, she said that we were coming from the marriage of a niece of my grandmother and that we did not plan to stay, but we had no other choice, I really think that nobody believed us hahahahahahaha
When they started to get dressed, at least we had hopes that the outfits they were going to wear were more appropriate to the situation and well no, I remember seeing my cousin getting married in blue jeans.
Back to our homes the laughter was not normal hahahahahahaha, we really looked like a gala event in a place not suitable for it, I don't know how many weeks had to pass to remember the same thing without tears coming out of so much laughter.
