Hola Allen,
Just wanted to say thank you again for all your
help, patience and kindness in making our wedding
day so special.

We were having difficulty finding someone to perform our ceremony in English and Spanish. We met with Allen and his friend in San Jose to put together a plan. The ceremony came off without a hitch and the Spanish translation was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our special day.
