The bride is the daughter of Rudy and Becky Gonzales of

The bride was given away in marriage by her father.

also provided by Saint Catherine's choir.

She wore a white gown of taffeta and veil with white pearl
appliques. It had long puff sleeves of clear veil and
featured a detachable 12-foot train and balloon skirt. Her
veil was three tiered and made of the white clear veil with
small pearls sewed along the hem. It was gathered at the
back calling attention to the crown of white pearls.

She carried a cascading bouquet of white roses mixed with
pearls and baby's breath.

The bride's something old and borrowed was a pair of pearl
earrings belonging to her late maternal grandmother, Trini
Rivera; her something new was her gown and her something
blue was the traditional garter.

The groom wore a black tuxedo with white accessories and a
white rose boutonniere.

wore a white gown while the other female attendants wore red
gowns and carried a single fresh red rose.

The groomsmen wore black tuxedos with red rose boutonniere.

Flower girls were Kara Castillo, niece of the groom and
Andrea Castillo. Ring bearer was John Paul Salcido, cousin
of the bride.

The couple was honored with a reception at the Riverside
Ballroom. Providing the music was Pepe Franco of Midland.
The bride's cake was made by Socorro Ontiveros and was
decorated with red roses and greenery and featured two
staircases going down from the top cake to four smaller
cakes on either side. The top of the cake was adored with a
white glass bride and groom with two other large cakes and a
fountain at the base.

Cutting the cakes were Bertha Natividad, Lily Dominguez and

success in her career with the Reeves County Detention
