I thank Saint Anthony for I married a sweet and beautiful woman who is also a good cook. She fulfills all my culinary caprices.

My father was very strict with me and didn’t trust me. He thought I was flirting with clients in our poultry-shop instead of hard-working. But one day, came a young man whom I fell in love with. I thank Saint Anthony because my father saw his good intentions and he listened to his heart and realized that my happiness is the most important. Now we are going to marry.

I thank the Virgin of San Juan for Federico Rodriguez asked my hand in marriage. I was overwhelmed and said yes because he said he loves me more than his cow. He won that cow and goes everywhere with her. I don’t mind my boyfriend being eccentric because he is so cute, and the cow is really beautiful.

Manuel and Mario are happy. They love each other and thank the Virgin.

I thank God and Saint Francis of Assisi for the miracle of meeting the love of my life. I was 40 years old and thought that I was never going to marry. But then my old boyfriend came back from the United States and proposed to me. I thank God because we are very happy and have become the parents of a beautiful baby.

When I was on vacation in Veracruz I met Manuel. We had such a good time together that I fell in love with him. I prayed to The Holy Child of Atocha for a miracle, and Martin agreed to live with me at my house. He knew that I’m not a woman, and he accepted me as I am. Here I‘m showing that beautiful day.
