Doña Rosa de Hernandez thanks the Virgin of the Rosary for bringing her daughter Marina to reason, so she finally accepted a proposal. She was almost 28 years old and was single, upon the pretext of studying or that nobody from her suitors is worthy of her. She even dumped a fiancé right at the altar.

My fiancé and I were in love, but our families were against our marriage. So we ran away to get married. We thank the Virgin of San Juan for protecting us and helping to fulfill our dream.

The young couple, Artemio and Dominga, used to have sex on the roof. But one day she got pregnant and everybody noticed it. They thank Saint Anthony because they were understood and permitted to get married.

My parents forced me to marry a rich landowner whom I didn’t love. However on the day of the wedding, Jesus Lopez, whom I always loved, came back to the town. He abducted me right in front of the church and took me on his horse. I thank the Blessed Sacrament because we’ll be happy now.

We, Martin and Daniel, thank the Virgin of Guadalupe because we managed to get married and be respected by the society. Now we are having our honeymoon.

Since all my friends in the town had already got married, I thought of myself as an old maid. So I agreed to marry Rogelio Rios. He was ugly and corny, but he was the only one who asked for my hand. But on the day of the wedding I realized what a stupid thing I was going to do marrying the man I didn’t love at all. I ran out of the church and went to the capital in my wedding dress. I stayed with my friend Flora. Now I’m really happy and I have a good job. I thank the Virgin of the Rosary.

My friend Rebeca was going to get married under pressure of her parents. I thank Saint Barbara because few moments before the wedding I convinced her not to marry. I told her that instead of making the biggest error in her life she’d better come to live and study with me in the capital. We thank Saint Barbara.

We thank Saint Anthony for the miracle that we finally, after a lot of struggles, managed to got married in the church what was our biggest dream.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank Saint Ochoa. When my fiancé tried to escape from the church after we had paid for the wedding and also leaving me pregnant, He heard my prayers and stopped the bastard right before the exit from the church. I thank for the miracle.

Don Roberto Ortega thanks the Virgin of San Juan for his wedding with señorita Juana Rosalinda Hernandez. Now he has a beloved wife and a new mother for his seven kids.

Maria Guadalupe and I loved each other, but her brother Poncho was against our relationships. Since he was a sorcerer, he came at nights as a furious nagual to separate us. Only thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe’s help and her blessing, we managed to run away and get married in another town.

I thank God and San Anthony of Padua for sending me a fiancé. I thought I would stay an old maid forever. And when I expected nothing to happen I heard a serenade. It was Pedro Lopez, a boyfriend that I had before and who came back from USA. We got married and now we are very happy.
