Today, the newlyweds’ guests enjoyed the combination of authentic Mexican classics for the groom’s side, and modern American music for the bride’s!
J and R’s love story began with mutual friends, but the bride’s desire to return to her Wisconsin roots brings us to the Mineral Point Historical Society’s wedding venue, Orchard Lawn. The newlyweds’ reception location featured an Italianate historic mansion, surrounded by striking gardens.

¡Que su matrimonio sea bendecido con mucha felicidad y prosperidad!

Today M & J combined their hearts, lives, and cultures, with the following pronunciation from Bilingual Wedding Ceremonies:

“Marriage is the clasping of hands, the blending of two hearts, the union of two lives into one. Your marriage stands, not by the authority of the state, nor by the seal on your wedding certificate, but by the strength and power of the faith and love you have in one another. El matrimonio es el apretón de manos, la fusión de dos corazones, la unión de dos vidas en una sola. Su matrimonio se mantiene, no por la autoridad del estado, ni por el sello de su certificado de matrimonio, sino por la fuerza y el poder de la fe y el amor que tienen el uno por el otro.”

Today our clients began their new life chapter together as newlyweds with the following Bible reading: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
“9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: 10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. 11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

“I love you, it’s almost too wonderful to me to say: but I want to say it and I am saying it – I love you.
And we’ll always keep each other alive.
We can never do nothing at all now, but that both of us know all about it.
You can do anything and be anything, so long as it’s with me.” – (“I love you,” by Dylan Thomas.)
Tonight we celebrate love between Yasmin & Justin – we wish you love, light, and laughter in your new path together as newlyweds!
