Rachel Roe:
Belize is very unique, as the Mayan culture is still very alive and thriving. Jonathan has always been very interested and intertwined with this culture, and it was important for him to use authentic pieces in his wedding. The couple had a traditional Maya Shaman officiate their wedding. The ceremony started with the blowing of a conch shell, and the couple was invited to the sacred space. They used the directional elements, as well as traditional burning of copal incense and ancient Mayan blessings. For dinner, two traditional Maya women made tortillas live on their families traditional fire heart. Mayan food consisting of roasted pig and pibil (a shredded pork) was served.
