Alonda and Mario's Wedding!

The past several weeks have been stressful for everyone in my family. While leaving for hurricane Gustav, my mother became severely ill. She was admitted into a hospital in Shreveport and 4 days later transferred back to nearby where we live in Lafayette.
Her hospitalization prevented her from attending my niece Alonda's wedding (her granddaughter) unfortunately...which just broker her heart. She may not have been there physically, but in our hearts she couldnt have been there more.
The day started off unfortunately with a drunk driver crossing the center line and hitting Mario( the groom) and David(father of the bride) head-on, just 3 hours before the wedding. After a short hospitalization the wedding went on as scheduled.
The wedding was just amazing! Everyone just had a blast. I took a few pictures and wanted to share them with you. Please note I was there to celebrate the event and not there to take professional pictures.

This picture is of the rosary my mother made that Alonda carried with her at the wedding.




This is Alonda talking to Mario just moments after the accident....this was the most intense moment of the day.
What a beautiful couple!!! I love both of them!
