This the retablo in the Hotel Albuquerque San Isidro Wedding Chapel where I had the great privilege to work with Carmela and Leroy on their Catholic wedding. We worked up the full Catholic wedding (nuptial) Mass and this is the result! I provided the crucifix and statues for the nichos, as well as the 2 foot high brass gothic candlesticks on the altar. There is a wooden table provided by Hotel Albuquerque under the cloths and altar linens which I brought. There was Holy Communion for all present as part of the Mass. Carmela and LeRoy also had the Lazo (lasso) ceremony of the double rosary included. After Communion they took flowers to the statue of Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe (in the left nicho) to ask her prayers for them as a newly married couple and family. All this to the music of "Ave Maria." It was a beautiful ceremony with a wonderful couple. This wedding was unusual since it was the complete Mass, but as a priest I was fully capable of preparing and celebrating it. Hotel Albuquerque's Wedding Concierge, Liana, was great and fully supportive in everything and even got the maintenance guy to set up the high crucifix. Guillermo of Natural Touch Photography was the photographer. There was also a full Mariachi band for some of the music! They did a great job.
