We left the Port of Barcelona with three of my children, two of which would marry at high sea with all the passengers and crew onboard.    The wedding preparation went beautifully and friends helped out ‘dressing’ and ‘hairdressing’ the brides. All was done with the help of a hairdresser male friend and other marvellous female friends.    We kicked the grooms out of the cabins as they are not supposed to see their brides and instead they went to the different bars onboard to have their last bachelors’ party.    I had designed the bunch of flowers which the brides carried, the flowers they wore on their heads and veils that covered their faces. Everything as it was expected. The grooms only wore bow-ties and the four were barefooted.    The ship’s disco was the venue and everybody was welcome as long as they were in the nude. I, the mother, led the grooms and my husband the brides. Two friends were the bridesmaids and also helped carrying the veils.    We got goose pimples as we walked in and the wedding march began. It was a very moving moment.    Yoannis Natarakis, the captain of the ship, was a bit confused as my daughter and my daughter in law are both called Susana. He was about to marry brother and sister! He was very pleasant, though.

    After marrying, they kissed to no end and an artist on board sang a very nice song. There was rice throwing and a waltz, as it should be. Unfortunately, the rice on the floor and their being barefooted did not go too well!
   Later, we went on deck to breathe fresh air in a gesture of freedom and happiness. On the way to Sardinia, we mused on the fact of being the first nudist couples to marry at high sea.
   In the evening, the captain led the presentation ceremony, wedding-picture included. However, we had to dress up for this occasion.
   The wedding march started again as we walked into the dining-hall and everybody clapped. We sat at a especially reserved table and there were cava bottles, (courtesy of the ship), and a big heart with two doves on top. All the members of the crew behaved just great.
   This was an unforgettable cruise, to be with us for the rest of our lives. The people we met and those we were already friends of, were our big family and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts for the love they showed us. And also thanks for having shared with us this precious time.
