Gaston and Raylene met at church at St. Thomas More and cultivated a friendship through Bible Study and hiking. Gaston was in the process of obtaining his Confirmation and he asked Raylene if she would be his sponsor (Godmother) and I said yes. They went to dinner in Laguna Beach to celebrate and have been together ever since!
Gaston and Raylene were really looking forward to their Catholic Wedding Ceremony and take the sanctity of marriage very seriously and know how intimate and meaningful the ceremony would be.
Just after their wedding ceremony they had their dog, Mosely, waiting for them just outside to show them love. He was so darling with his little tuxedo collar and gave lots of kisses. 🙂
They also couldn’t wait to party and DANCE all night! And they did!! In the heat of the summer it was to hot to dance inside so most of the party was out on the terrace and a beautiful night it was.
Gaston and Raylene, I am so happy for you and the love you share for each other and for God. I hope your love continues to grow and multiply over the years. Congtrats!!

Tracy and Andrew had the sweetest, intimate wedding ceremony on the bluffs of Laguna Beach, overlooking the gorgeous coastline.
Tracy’s two daughters stood proudly by her side as bridesmaids, while Andrew’s two sons stood with him—making this beautiful day even more meaningful and special. 🥂
@ocbeachweddings brought the perfect touches for a coastal celebration, including parasols and fans for the guests, plus champagne for the bride and groom to cheers with. They made sure everything ran smoothly so Tracy and Andrew could simply soak in every moment of their beautiful day. ✨
