Break out the violins!
Break out the violins!
When Edgar Falcon and Maricruz Valtierra exchanged vows last week, it wasn’t inside a church or at a fancy wedding venue. Instead, they had a border wedding on the Paso del Norte International Bridge, which connects the United States-Mexico border cities of El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.
The couple said they decided to get married there because that’s the closest Valtierra, a Mexico citizen, can get to the U.S. The 25-year-old is barred from entering the U.S. because she falsely claimed to be a U.S. citizen by using someone else’s birth certificate when she tried to enter the country as a teenager.
She currently lives in Ciudad Juárez, one of the most violent cities in Mexico, while her husband, a 27-year-old U.S. citizen, lives in El Paso.
