February 15, the wedding
Today I’m going to a civil wedding. The marriage ceremony is taking place in the town-hall of Barcelona. I wait expectantly for it, because it’s the first time I go to a wedding with two grooms.
I remember two years ago I saw an homosexual wedding in a small town. The couple had been leaving together for a long time and everybody knew it. When they arrived at the town-hall perfectly dressed, they looked back before going in, because many people were in the street waiting to see them and to say hello, and they said: “Ja era hora”.
Sunday 17
The wedding’s day the grooms were also perfectly dressed. They looked elegant and the guests too.
Pere Portabella was the master of the ceremony. Two friends read poems. When the ceremony was finished, family and friends invited to the wedding went to a luxury hotel to have dinner. Before dinner, a fantastic appetizer
was offered , and people in general, started drinking champagne.
Inside the dining room there were round tables perfectly decorated with flowers and candles. Everything was marvellous.
When the wedding cake appeared, we listened to Procofief, and the lights were turned off.
During the coffee, “La vie en rose” by Edith Piaf began the dance, and many guests were to dance. every one seemed to be having a good time. The women’s high-heeled shoes started being so annoyed…, but everything was right to the end.
I explained that because today, fortunately, the wedding I went, it’s like the most of the wedding, more or less elegant, more or less kitsch. That minds love is the most important in life and it also minds that in this country, finally “the times are changing”, like B. Dylan said quite a lot of years ago.

I had a teacher that appeared on newspapers because he was the first catalan, or the first man in some village, or something like, that got married with another boy, when the law allowed it. It was curious for the students.
But, fortunately, you're right when you say that people are changing their minds (little by little...).
No problemo.
Instead of that and funny thing for me is while hetero are trying to NOT getting married, homo do.
I ask to myself ¿why? and not answer. Anybody could, please?
I think there's still a long way to go but we seem to be on the right track.
Your language in this post is much more accurate. Congratulations!! Some minor things ecept for the last paragraph. See my comments:
-I saw A homosexual
-Before dinner, (0 and WO) a fantastic appetizerwas offered
-During the coffee, “La vie en rose” by Edith Piaf, the dance began (WO)
-and many guests were to dance (I'd accept the structure but tell me what you want to say)
Think about this sentence and arrange it. It's messed up:
-That minds love is the most important in life and it also minds that in this country, finally “the times are changing”, like B. Dylan said quite a lot of years ago.
