Thanks, everyone, for making our wedding such a blast!!!

We want to thank each and every one of you -- our friends, our family, our guests -- for making our wedding day as memorable as it was and will continue to be. It was momentous as well as incredibly fun, and we could not have enjoyed it as we did without you. We're so grateful you came all the way out to the beach to be with us! You're the best.

Please share with us your stories! If you have a memory of the day or noticed something that Onnie or I may have missed (since we were Here, There, and Everywhere), please let us know.

We want to especially thank the following individuals, whom we either asked/begged for their special talented services or who, on their own initiative, went above and beyond the call of duty:

Father Jim Randall of the American Catholic Church. With Father Jim's expertise and gentle ways, we have a marriage that is recognized by the Catholic Church and one that became this very meaningful event that we share together as a couple. Thank you again, Father Jim. We wouldn't have done it without you.

Javie Granados, father of the groom, for letting us put him to work these last months. His love and helping hands are invaluable.

Pearl Ward, mother of the bride, for her motherly advice, gifts from home, and her role as caterer. She provided the support only a mom can give.

Jackie Kyanko, closest girlfriend of the bride and party-planner extraordinaire. Besides host a delightful bridal shower, she jumped right in there and ended up a caterer for the reception. Many thanks to such a fabulous friend!

Our primary photographers, Mike Gostomski ...

... and Rob Kyanko.

Wow, what nice shots! We're lucky to have them both be there for us and to capture our memories.

Susan Marshall, the bride's restaurant-slash-overall-buddy. When I said that I didn't want a bridal shower, Susan overlooked my bullheadedness and instigated it anyway. Thank you again for your creative talents, Sweetie.

Osvaldo Garcia-Contreras, our fabulous friend and DJ extraordinaire. I especially liked that he gave the inspiration to Tina to begin the conga line. Thanks for the beautiful music, Osvaldo - and the strobe lights!

Tina Granados, sister of the groom, who got the dancing going as well as make runs for supplies, for a lovely dinner the previous night, and for all her love and support. And didn't you just love her shoes?

Arno Granados, brother of the groom, for flying all the way from Alabama on not much sleep and without the rest of his family in order to join us.

Bob Geddings, Best Man, for being there at the groom's side and for fretting about the rings. He and the groom have come a long way since propelling rockets as kids, don't you think?

Chanelle Talbot, sister of the bride and Matron of Honor. She had to rush around with the bride while getting ready, and even put those beautiful bouquets together at the last minute - but how beautiful they were. I would not have walked out there without her. Love and kisses.

And big hugs to all those Helping Hands, who put food on plates, made coffee, steamed tamales, blew up balloons, and pitched in when when we needed extra hands. Roger, Stu, Crystal, Selena, Roz, Bev, you are all bright and shining gems. It was your party as well as ours. Thank you.

And last but most definitely not least, we'd also like to give our thanks to:

Rosemary Baker-Monaghan and her crew at the Liberty Theater, for their assistance in making the event go as smoothly as possible. And for offering us the theater itself, which surrounded us in timeless beauty!
