Celebration of Love and Family

Posted by Stuart on 05/12 at 07:01 PM imageimageimageimageimageimage

For those of you who check in regularly, I apologize that I have not updated the blog in a while.  It has been a very busy month for us and promises not to let up anytime soon!  We wanted to share some photos from our weekend commitment ceremony in Palm Springs.  Can you say magical?  We, that’s exactly what it was.

We had friends and family from around the country come for what was an appropriately named event:  A Celebration of Love and Family.  Our goal was to have everyone come together and enjoy themselves in fellowship.  During a full weekend of activities, we did have a commitment ceremony where we asked our families and loved ones to support our new family--Allen, Stuart, and Quentin. 

Of course, the real star of the show was little Quentin.  He is such an amazing little guy and really enjoyed meeting all those family members and friends who he hadn’t met already. 

Finally, it was just a big ole party!  Special thanks to Gary for opening his home for the Friday night event and hosting the Sunday brunch and for being the best wedding planner we ever could have asked for.  He is the best adopted brother anyone could ever ask for!!!

So, here’s some pics:

1.  Quentin gets introduced, blessed, and welcomed into a community of love and support!

2.  Allen’s Dad, Warren, offers a touching tribute to Allen during the ceremony.

3.  Allen surprised me with a new ring from Cartier!  I couldn’t believe it! 

4.  I take a spin on the dance floor with my adopted mom, Irma. 

5.  Allen cuts the rug with his beautiful mom, Dulcenia.

6.  The dance floor was hot!
