May 2007-- The two intertwined hearts featured on the
wedding invitations announcing a renewal of vows between Charytin Goyco,
hostess of Telefutura's popular daily gossipfest "Escandalo TV,"
and her husband Elin Ortiz was a fitting motif to mark a love that has
not only endured but grown during the couple's 30 years of marriage.
On the afternoon of May 11, 2007 the television presenter once again
felt like a blushing bride as she rode inside a glass coach drawn by
six white horses to Disney's Wedding Pavilion at The Walt Disney World
Resort in Orlando, Florida.
Clutching a bouquet of yellow and pink roses, Charytin
took the arm of her son Shalim and walked inside the chapel, where astrologer
Walter Mercado, singer Millie Quezada, and Jorge Reynoso rose from their
pews as the bride made her entrance wearing a fairy tale creation by
Venezuelan designer Sammy Gicherman. The natural Duchesse silk of the
gown's ballroom skirt rustled against the green aisle runner which led
to the altar, the carpet's pink and red rose pattern echoing the rose
petals which would come cascading down upon the couple following the
Catholic ceremony.
The bride's white illusion veil, trimmed with a Chantilly
lace border and held in place by a tiara, framed her face as she once
again pledged her love to her husband. In the distance, Cinderella's
castle provided a romantic backdrop in the window behind the officiant,
who blessed their union during a ceremony in which Latin Grammy Award-winning
artist Marco Antonio Solis offered a reading and mariachi singer Graciela
Beltran performed.
Following the vow renewal, the couple joined their guests
for a reception at Epcot Center, which was followed by a two-day honeymoon
at the theme park.
