On a very special day in late summer, we enjoyed a very joyous wedding in beautiful Ruidoso......
Since Baby Binks is home from San Francisco, this is a "two-hat" wedding......
Frannie even came by to see us off............
Well, at least to see Binks off--everybody loves Binky!.........
En route to our last destination wedding down south, we stopped off at the famous Owl Cafe in San Antonio, but noticed that the Buckthorn Cafe down the road was equally busy--and now we know why. Apparently San Antonio has two legendary cafes...........
So we had to stop again--San Antonio must be the Green Chile Burger Capital of the World!
Clippings of the Buckthorn's "Throw-Down with Bobby Flay"--Buckthorn won.........
The interior of the Buckthorn Cafe--it is frequented by many in the "Witness Protection" Program.......
Bianca enjoying her Green Chile Burger..........
As is Dwight! Diana is loving her Frito Pie........(You can take a girl out of Santa Fe, but you can't take the "Santa Fe" out of the girl).................
Living the whole "Diner" experience..........
We still have quite a bit of mileage to get to Ruidoso, so Baby gets some sleep along the way.........
But we finally make it to our motel and out to the beautiful Perry Ranch where the ceremony is going to be held--there we link up with the rest of the Santa Fe contingent........
This is Marilyn--the Grandmother of the Bride--and her son Rickey.........
This is Billy--the Father-of-the-Bride, we just call him "Mr. Handsome"............
Sisi is perfectly attired for a 50s Rock 'n Roll Wedding.........
Dwight and I are soaking in the beauty of the setting....................
Auntie and niece enjoying the "good vibrations" of the 50s soundtrack for the wedding............
Aunt Alice gets a hug..........................
I included this photo because it is the only picture I got with Hali's mom in it. If anyone else out there in cyberspace who might see this blog has a photo of the sweet and lovely Shawn, I would really appreciate a copy...........
In the huge meadow where the ceremony is going to be held, there is a large play ground for the kids. I wonder who is "teeter-tottering" with Elliott?...........
Why, it's the 'Grand Totter-Master", Sisi.......
"Focus Free" is out in the field recording the happy affair.........
Three generations of the Gomez Family...........
Posing while Danny is busy recording.......
The Flower girl in her poodle skirt........
Best solution ever!! Little Coupe De Ville is an intricate part of this wedding, but in his little wagon, he can be in the thick of everything and still get to sleep.........
Did I say "Everybody loves Binky"? Well, obviously, "Everybody Also Loves Rickey".............
The verdant--and gorgeous--setting for the ceremony............
Sisi is excited and can hardly wait........
Kai and his partner anchor the 50's clad Wedding Party as they await the cue to begin..........
And down the little hill from the Grand Pavilion they come to the Wedding Glenn........
Some of the guys are sporting "ducktails".........
And they are all wearing their sneakers........
The girls are wearing fifties Diner-style dresses.........
And hot, hot shoes.............
"Well, Baby Girl, are you ready to do this?"......................
Here comes the bride...............
The very beautiful bride.............
And the most adoreable "ring bearer"...........
"We are garhered here today.........."
Da girls...................
Da guys.............
"I do!', "I do!"..................
Words from the heart..........
"You may now kiss your bride........"
ONCE MORE WITH FEELING!........................
The minister posed this photo--he called it "The Sucker Shot"............
Kai poses for me as the new couple is swarmed with congratulations...............
Famous Latin Movie Stars attended the wedding............
As did Hollywood Starlets.............
Elliott is finding this whole Wedding thing to be very entertaining..........
Grandma is ready for her close-up..............
A toast from the bridesmaids with their new cheetah-print flasks that were a gift of the bride............
Likewise, the groomsmen toast with their new flasks that were a gift from the groom........
The new Mr. & Mrs. Skyler Loving.............
And baby makes.......four?
The fabulous wedding cake.................
LET THE BACCHANAL BEGIN..............
A playful shot.........
A huge sign employing the motto from the very clever Wedding Invitations backs the head table in the giant pavillion...........
Dwight poses with some of the "Day of the Dead" party ware...............
Table decor.................
Diana is also very impressed with this well themed wedding..........
La familia is ready for dinner--it was served inside the Ranch House and was our favorite--New Mexican food!--Carne Asada to die for!...................
Homme Pensive...........
Good shot of the partyware...........
"Your seat, mi lady"..............
"I only have eyes for you"..............
Kissing cousins?......................
A howling thunder storm blew in just in time for the first dance--so dramatic! Hali will never forget the drama of this romantic dance................. 
Emergency rescue tent for that beautiful wedding cake............
Enjoying all the traditions of the wedding dance.....................
Like the Daddy-Daughter Dance......................
Remember, you're not losing a daughter, you're gaining a son................
Brothers confer............
Ready to toast with a mysterious ruby red liqueur............
Sisi takes this toasting seriously.................
And apparently, she really ENJOYS it!........
And, of course, so does Alice...................
Bottoms Up!...........................
Billy cracks 'em up....................
Words from the heart..........................
The girls are ready for that bouquet to be tossed....................
It's always a wild melee................
And one little old lady lost out, big time......................
And there's always that inevitable search for that elusive Bride's garter.....................
GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN! Elliott was just itching to get in this Conga Line..................
And as the night proceded, all the youngbloods had a fabulous time dancing under this magical pavillion roof....................
Hali gets a hug from her Uncle Rick...................
Congratulations Hali & Skyler! Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness...............

Elated to know about the wedding party. Looking for a professional photographer to cover the huge event of my sister in law's baby shower. Garden spaced Seattle Wedding venues is booked by my husband and crockery table settings are all very unique. Cup cakes and cookies are ordered from a reputed bakery.
