Amanda and RJ - Pandemic Panic! Married March 20, 2020

 Wow! What a wedding this one was!

Originally, Amanda and RJ were set up to get married and have their reception at Blanca's Reception Hall. We had the rehearsal and they decorated the venue the night before the wedding.



Early the next morning, the mayor closed all public gatherings and shut down all event centers, etc. due to Covid 19!

I got a desperate call from Amanda, explaining that they were trying to get their decorations from the venue and moving everything to their house.

About 50 people crammed into Amanda and RJs home! The counters were crammed with pans of food that had been intended for the reception. I don't think the cake made it.

You can see in the picture above, the big-screen television is our altar!


It was tight quarters doing the broom-jumping ritual!



All-in-all, I think, despite the stress and difficulties of the day - Amanda and RJ were happy that the wedding was still able to take place, and most of their friends and family were happy to be there for them.

I couldn't find a copy of the ceremony I performed for them that day -- but it will forever stand out in my memory. Not only for the trials, but also the awesome, relaxed, and happy couple they are!

Rev. Sabrina

Happy Anniversary!  I feel so blessed to have been a part of your wedding day – your love story.  May your love continue to grow stronger with each passing year!

A Love Story That Began at the Thirsty Bronc: Ida & Jesus Say “I Do”

Image
Every love story has its own rhythm — some arrive with fireworks, some with a sweep-you-off-your-feet whirlwind, and some begin quietly, simply, in a place you’d never expect to become sacred in hindsight. For Ida and Jesus, their story began the way so many great romances do: with a brother, a bar, and a moment that neither of them forgot. Where It All Started: The Thirsty Bronc Years ago, inside the familiar hum of the Thirsty Bronc in Edinburg, Texas , Michael did what brothers do best — connecting people. He introduced his brother, Jesus Garza, to Ida Montoya-Cruz. No buildup, no big orchestration. Just, “Hey, you should meet…” Sometimes the best beginnings are quiet like that. For Jesus, the moment landed hard and fast. From the second he saw her, he thought she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever met — radiant, smart, and undeniably kind. Ida, on the other hand, saw Jesus sitting there looking all sorts of cute, quiet, and cuddly — like a big teddy bear she couldn’t hel...

Happy Anniversary Sabrina and George - Married April 27, 1991

Image
This love story begins in a shiny new commercial jet engine repair plant. George, a man who's friends with the vice president, finds himself wandering through the bustling building. He strolls into the vice president's office to pay him a friendly visit. The office is a hub of activity, but George's eyes land on a particular sight: the vice president's secretary, Sabrina. Sabrina & George 4/27/91 Sabrina is busy at work, her back to the door. She's unaware of the new visitor in the room as George takes in the sight of her. He thinks she's cute. Really cute.   So, without thinking, he lets out a remark, "You look like a woman that has everything a man needs!" Sabrina, hearing this, feels a surge of anger. She's had enough of men making sexist remarks. She stands up abruptly, ready to turn around and give the man a piece of her mind, maybe even a slap! But before she can, George, seeing her fury, quickly shouts, "...and I need hand lotio...
