Cocktails started at 7:30pm at the pool and the wedding, officiated by Pastor Daniel Arbolaez, began at 8:30pm. Lucia Becerra, sang “Because You Loved Me,” a song the bride dedicated to her parents.

Following the ceremony in the Gold and White Ballroom a multi-course dinner was served at the Grand Ballroom. The wedding cake was on display on a big round table with blue lighting illuminating it.

Cristina Kallop’s party

reception for Nina Thais Bazo:

Cristina and Bill Kallop who own “La Diva,” a 120' yacht previously owned by Ivana Trump, gave a private party reception on Friday, January 4, 2008 in honor of Nina Thais Bazo..

“Nina is my best friend ... for her ... anything in this world!” Both Nina and Cristina were born in Lima, Peru and both of their families have known each other since the time of their great grand parents.

Even though Cristina lives between Houston, Texas and Lima, Peru they get together in Palm Beach as often as they can. "One cannot live without the other," they say and It is easy to see how well they understand each other and how important one is to the other. She is like a real sister says “Thais”, which is how Cristina calls her. “Thaisita”.
