Odd

A few weeks ago, we went to a civil wedding ceremony in Beni... Well, not only did we go, but Noé drove the new couple after they were married. I was his date :)

Anyway, during the very long ceremony... the "official" who married them, had a phone call. And he stopped talking and he answered the phone!

Here's a little proof :)
To protect his identity - we've blurred it a little... But you can still see the back of the groom's head, fairly clearly! And the official is hard to miss, on the left, with his hand to his ear (I promise he's holding a phone!) hehe

A few minutes later, he resumed his duties and married the couple... eventually. But we all heard his conversation - which, was weird.
