When Rose and Rafael were in the Service they caught each other’s eye across the room one day. Not wanting to waste any time, Rose approached Rafael, introduced herself and with one flash of her beautiful smile-he was forever smitten! – Atta girl Rose! 😉
These two sweethearts have now been married for 40 years and their love shines just like a pair of newlyweds! They have created a life and a family that is a true testament of the commitment and happiness this couple has shared for 4 decades!
I had such a wonderful time with the entire family last week!! They were such a fun and sweet group to photograph!
