Miss
Costa Rica Celebrates Religious Wedding
April 2006 --Although
joined in a civil ceremony in November 2003, Miss Costa Rica
2001 Piarella Peralta and her husband, Dutch banker Tiemo Wesseling
longed for a religious celebration of their love, and on April
1, 2006 the former beauty queen, escorted by her mother and
brother, walked down the aisle of the 18th century Iglesia de
Orosi in the Cartago province of Costa Rica in order to reaffirm
her pledge of devotion to the man she loves.
Wearing a white
wedding gown created with a full ballgown skirt by Miami dressmaker
Belinda's Designs, the bride exchanged white gold wedding bands
with her husband during a mid-afternoon ceremony witnessed by
225 guests.
The vows were recited
in Spanish, with Dutch translations provided.
Following the nuptials,
the couple gathered with family and friends beneath a tent erected
on the grounds of the Rancho Rio Perlas hotel, a 49-room Spanish-style
sanctuary that opened its doors to the public in 2002.
