In our short break to northern Portugal we visited the delightful town of Amarante, situated astride the River Tâmega. In the town’s centre is an imposing bridge over the river adjacent to the São Gonçalo Church, which is a Portugese national monument.

We waited for the happy couple to emerge and to be greeted by guests with flower petals and rice, which were liberally thrown over the happy couple. Here’s a photo montage of the celebrations,
