Gracias to you....and you.....and you.....





I promise to write some special details from the wedding when I get the chance. But in summary our wedding was a huge community affair that involved all of our loving friends and family who donated their time, their talents, and even their back yard decor for our big day.

We have so many people to thank...here´s a few...

-All the people who made the journey to our wedding at the top of a mountain in Oakhurst(especially those who came from as far as Peru and England)
-Our site coordinator at Paradise Springs for all of her beyond-the-call-of-duty efforts
-The generous owners of Paradise Springs
-My bridesmaids and all their efforts before, after, and during the wedding, and for being amazing friends to me for many years
-Our Pastor and his family
-Our talented photographer, and her pretty red headed assistant
-The beautiful music of our wedding singer and the use of all of her sound equipment
-The Bunco Babes who prepared all of our food and took care of many of the behind the scenes details
-All of the women who came to the bridal shower
-The sweet hostess of my bridal shower
-People who acted as unofficial translators behind the scenes
-Grandma Chabuca for her beautiful poem, and Patricia for reading the translation
-The people who really let loose on the dance floor (you know who you are, especially the one who split his pants)
-All those who came to rehearsal dinner which was gifted to us by Patricia
-All those who helped decorate
-Those who moved chairs, handled the champagne, etc.
-The chefs taking care of all the meat on the grill
-Those who drank alot
-The friend who helped us order all of our flowers
-Those who came hours before rehearsal to set up
-The lovely lady that printed our invitations and wedding favors
-Our cakemaker (Coco´s mom, Patricia) who made the cutest cake I have ever seen
-All the people who have prayed and continued to pray for us as a couple
-All of my family members that pitched in with anything we asked at any moment
-Our videographer and all the extra ¨picture takers¨
-To the flower girls and their mothers and anyone else who helped get them ¨ready¨ or entertained them during the wedding
-All of the people that consulted us on wedding ideas
-Everyone that donated something
-Special thanks to my parents for the gift of our wedding, for their encouragement, for the hours spent on homemade crafts, for comforting bridezilla when she was convinced it would rain on that day, for setting up, cleaning up, coordinating, making me laugh, giving advice, for dancing like fools with us, for helping with honeymoon planning, for letting us both be your roomates, for letting your house be taken over by wedding clutter for months, and for loving us and supporting us.
-Most importantly thanks to God for all of these blessings and all of the people who have filled our lives with His love and grace.

You guys all rocked our wedding! We love you!
