Gloria Elizabeth Calderas

Good afternoon family and friends, and welcome to the marriage ceremony and celebration of Jose and Michelle .

For those of you in attendance today who do not know me , and have not yet had the pleasure of meeting, my name Gloria Castro, and I could not be more proud to be able to call myself the little sister of this charismatic man whos ability to meet a new friend anywhere he goes.

For those of you who may be wondering, no, I'm not a real minister, despite the fact

that the state Texas may say otherwise., but I obtained this to be part of this special day.

We are gathered together here to join JOSE and MICHELLE in the spiritual union of marriage.
