I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe because on my first intercourse with my boyfriend, I found the love and the happiness I dreamt of with the love of my life. Bless our love for ever, I’m asking you from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks for this kiss.

We thank Saint Anthony because we have got married after many difficulties. Our wedding was very beautiful, and the saint blessed our marriage.

Sandra Mendez suffered from overweight and felt so lonely. She prayed to Saint Anthony, and he sent her a boyfriend who likes the food as much as she does. Sandra thanks for that with this retablo.

With this drawing, I want to thank Saint Francis for the miracle he made. Your slave Juan Luis Rubert had some drinks in the bar. On the way back, I was riding a horse and hit my head on a badly planted tree. I fell off the horse and broke two ribs and one leg. On top of everything I was stung by a viper.

However, that moonless night Saint Francis heard my prayers. He sent me my neighbor Geniero, who was passing by on his donkey. He took me to the hospital where I met Dr. Paty and fell in love with her.

I was being told that because I’m so fat I’d be an old maid forever. It saddened me, so I prayed to Saint Antony for a lover who’d love me for who I am. He fulfilled my wish, and now my Pepe makes me happy. He asked me for marriage with a serenade, and all my friends were envy. They always criticized me, but it was me who got married first.

Who is without sin, speak up now or forever hold your peace, because for love everything is permitted. To those who sinned because of love.

I thank Saint Anthony because I married a good man who loves me and the animals. He accepted me with my monkey, two dogs, two cats and my little bird. Now we’re all happy on his ranch.

I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe because I met a very cheerful man to get married. I was looking for someone like him, because I didn’t want my wedding to be boring. And my Miguel is very funny and he’s a good dancer. At the wedding we danced until we dropped, exhausted. I offer this retablo thanking, because he is an almost perfect husband.

We thank Saint Anthony because we have got married after many difficulties. Our wedding was very beautiful and the saint blessed our marriage.

Saint Sebastian is praying for our sins.

With great joy, I give thanks to God and the Virgin of Guadalupe for such a big favor. I thought I’d never get married because my best years were behind me. But one day my boyfriend, who went in USA few years ago, returned. He proposed me, and I gladly accepted his proposal, because he is the love of my life. He organized a very cute wedding for me.

Francisco Fernandez and his rival in love started to shoot each other. They were put behind bars for that. Francisco thanks the Merciful Lord for they managed to settle their differences in prison cell.
