Deborah and Ramone

It seems I have known this family forever. I first met with Mrs. Whetstone for coffee way back in 2006 when she booked me for her daughter Deborah's wedding day. Deborah actually lives in Spain and her mom has been so gracious to take care of all the wedding day details. It is also in Spain where Deborah met her groom, Ramone. What a special day when the 2 families came together on a hot, Summer's day in Gulf Shores, AL to celebrate their marriage. It was also quite fun trying to communicate with everyone since soooo many people in attendance only spoke Spanish. Everytime I looked over at Clark, he was actually trying sign language! haha! Now if you've ever heard Clark and me talk, we've been accused of having a pretty long, Southern drawl. I can only imagine what Ramone's family and friends must have thought of that. It's hard for other Southerner's to even understand us sometimes! ; ) Thanks to everyone for taking us in, taking care of us and treating us like your own. Many best wishes as you begin your new life together!

What a sweet moment I was able to catch as Deborah helped Amanda (Ramone's daughter) put on her slippers.

I love fun ring pictures. These were the toppers for the cupcakes on the childrens table.


A clown to entertain the children--and she was bilingual! : )


A time to themselves.
Daddy's hands.



And of course, a sneak peak slideshow.
