Twas The Night to Remember! On Saturday November 8, 2003 I was invited to a Roy Jones and Antonio Tarver fight party. Not really enthused about going, I went anyway. When I walked through the door, there he (Aurelio) was deeply involved in a game of Domino’s (SMILE) looking all good. After watching the fight, Aurelio asked if anyone wanted to go to with him to the ATM. After telling one of my girlfriends to slip him my phone number, I immediately said that I would go with him to the ATM. We left and spent almost an hour laughing and talking. We returned to the party, everyone had left! The night was still young and Aurelio invited me to breakfast and we’ve been together ever since.

Why the Wayfarers Chapel? The Wayfarers Chapel is one of the most awe inspiring places on earth. Perched on a high Palos Verdes bluff, with a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island, we were convinced that this church was the idyllic setting for the celebration of our marriage. Unfortunately, the chapel accomodates 100 guests. Therefore, Aurelio and I will only accomodate those close family and friends we've invited. Due to the sensitive nature of our special day. We are asking for those that have been extended an invitation to please REFRAIN from inviting additional guests. Your assistance is GREATLY appreciated as a GUEST LIST will be ENFORCED! Please beware...........

An Occasion You Don't Want to Miss! Please join us for a memorable celebration at the Harlyne Norris J. Pavillion.

If you have questions regarding the wedding, reception, or honeymoon registry contact hired wedding coordinator Clara Ross at 310-346-3616 or email her at ctross@earthlink.net. Again, due to limited seating and the sensitive nature of our special day. We are asking for those that have been extended an invitation to please REFRAIN from inviting additional guests. Your assistance is GREATLY appreciated as uninvited guests will be asked to leave the premises! A GUEST LIST will be strictly enforced !

The Residence Inn by Marriot is offering wedding guest accommodations at a discounted rate. I understand that hotels can be costly. Therefore, I have thoroughly researched a hotel close in proximity to the wedding venue. The Residence Inn offers a discounted rate of $109.00 per night for a studio accommodating up to five guests and a two-bedroom suite accommodating up seven guests. To reserve a room call 310-543-4566 or 1-800-331-3131 and ask for the SMITH/CASTILLO group rate to receive the discount. A FREE shuttle will arrive at 4:30 PM on Aug. 12 to transport guests staying at the Residence Inn to the wedding and reception.

Aurelio and I just wanted to take this opportunity to say "THANK YOU" to each and every one of you for sharing this joyous occassion with us. We are very blessed and proud to have family and friends that have continued to support us in our journey towards sharing our lives as one. We are more than greatful and are looking forward to a wonderful evening of pure celebration! We would like to close with a famous love quote----Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes. Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall and a preserving sweet." ~ William Shakespeare
