You’ll notice there will be a few Brazilians around, so we thought you might enjoy a quick Portuguese lesson before the big day!
First things first… yes, we speak Portuguese, not Spanish.
Brazilians are usually very friendly, warm and affectionate people, so don’t be surprised if you’re greeted with a kiss on the cheek and a big hug when being introduced. We love to talk, laugh, dance and celebrate — so you’ll probably find us somewhere between the bar and the dance floor during the night.
Here are a few words you might hear:
Oi / Olá – Hello
Obrigado / Obrigada – Thank you
Desculpa – I’m sorry
Com licença – Excuse me
Por favor – Please
Tim-tim – Cheers (for toasts!)
Tchau – Bye
Cerveja – Beer (the groom’s favourite word!)
We can’t wait for everyone to meet, celebrate and share this special day together.
