Marriage, Faith and Beautiful New Beginnings

Wedding Day!

On January 1, 2011 Jeff & I officially took the plunge and got married in a very small, immediate family only wedding… We all agreed it was the one of the most heartfelt weddings we’ve ever been a part of… And the easiest!

 

My Mom, Victoria (my adorable niece) and I whipped everything together in about a week.

We got the pastor we wanted, the dress took about an hour and a half, the cake was rush ordered in 30 minutes, the flowers even less because I know the shop owner and just told her the look and feel (and please deliver it to the Red Hacienda) – extremely low stress, so I had time to contemplate the HUGE decision I made to marry Jeff and become a stepmom to Jonathon and Caleb, his boys.

Deb Gallardo

I wanted to share a beautiful gift we received from a fabulous member of our community, Deb Gallardo…

 

She sang a song a capella for us called “May You Always” by Dick Charles and Larry Markes. The song was recorded a few decades ago by The McGuire Sisters, Eddy Arnold and The Lennon Sisters.

Listen to Deb’s beautiful song by clicking ==> May You Always

Deb acts and sings, recently she was featured in a stage performace of Beauty and the Beast! She also teaches writer’s how to overcome the dreaded “Writer’s Block” and is the Story Ideas Virtuoso

Thank you Deb from the bottom of our hearts for sharing your beautiful heart and voice with us!

And Thank You all for being a part of our lives!

Love, Maritza
