It was wonderful to have you and Joaquin do our wedding. It couldn’t have been more perfect! Very memorable! And the wedding gift was amazing. ( it was the only one we got. ) but it meant the world to us. I love that we were involved in the entire ceremony before it happened. We have both been married before and were not given that option. Thank you both so much!
Your questions helped us clarify what we wanted most from the ceremony and we felt that you cared deeply about making the ceremony meaningful and reflective of who we are as a couple. We knew having you marry us would be meaningful on many levels, and it was.
We want to thank you for making it all come together. It was very nice of you to reach out to Patty to play the music at the wedding. She did a fabulous job of playing the music for us, and really nice of Patty to do it as a wedding gift. She is a very delightful lady. Would you thank Joaquin for taking the pictures of us and reciting his poem? Thank you for the flowers for Gertie, and a big hand to you Mr. Foster. Thanks again!
