After a group blessing of the newlyweds, the ceremony concludes and......
The Receiving Line commences.......


While waiting our turn, Dwight explores the old mill.................

What a lovely setting to receive all the well-wishes of your friends and family!.....
We all wish the newlyweds joy and contentment.......

The parents are relieved that part of the events has successfully concluded...........

And they are cheerfully greeting their guests................
Megan and Keegan couldn't have chosen a lovelier setting for their wedding.....

A happy Terry................
A happy Marty..................
There is still a lot of kissing going on..............................
A moment in time on an ageless rancho.......................
Goodbye to the mill.................
It's time to hike back to the main compound.....................
Past the chapel.......
In the company of other guests.....................

We pass the furrowed fields................
And a cemetery (?)--or at least a memorial.................

To the old houses of the central compound.....................

Dwight is very attracted to the simplicity of life represented by Golondrinas and the commitment of hard work that it took to sustain life in those olden days..............


Under the portal of the reception hall, the Gonzales family has arranged a lovely spread to feast their guests.......
Some fresh blossoms in the courtyard garden.............
Linnea's dad came all the way from the East Coast for the wedding. He is delighting in his new grandchild......................
A very sophisticated spread--shrimp cocktail and champagne..................
Dwight's loving it! He also graciously went back four times for refills for his embarrassed wife...............

We met a charming little colleen who makes a precious flower girl..............

She seems to even know how to do the Highland Fling......................

A classic limo awaits the bride and groom--this model is the same one used by President Eisenhower...............
Service with a smile.................
We're resting up and then it's off to Albuquerque for an early evening reception..............
