We also want to thank Milano Jewelers in Pembroke Pines, Florida for creating a custom wedding band for Kat s that pairs perfectly with the custom engagement ring they also created, they add.
The couple also called on Garrido s godfather and uncle, Pastor Frank Lopez, to officiate the ceremony and chose to forgo writing vows ahead of time, instead saying whatever comes from the heart in the moment.

For The Southern
For families looking to enjoy drive-thru Christmas light shows from the comfort of their vehicles, Southern Illinois has a few options that offer shorter wait times and shorter lines than the popular large-scale events.Â
Reis Lane in Herrin is a private drive that has grown over the years into one of the regionâs most delightful light shows. The light display began several years ago when the father of Reis Lane homeowner Sharayah Skaggs began decorating her childhood home. Now Skaggs, who built her own home on the street, teams up with other family members and friends residing on Reis Lane to make each Christmas bigger and brighter with the whimsical display.
