The Gentlemen's Corner PHOTOGRAPHY BY JESSE GARCIA PHOTOGRAPHY

Gentlemen, itâ€™s understandable that there are many times when you feel left out of the wedding planning process - whether itâ€™s willingly or not! Does that mean you should be ignored? Of course not! All grooms should feel pampered for their wedding day, and James & James Formalwear promises to make that a reality thanks to their world class customer service.

or over 30 years, this family-run business has been helping men to dress their best! The idea came to UIFN BGUFS UIF Â?STU PG UFO TJCMJOHT NBSSJFE 3FBMJ[JOH that there would be many more occasions of the sort, the Gutierrez family set up shop as a tuxedo rental business GPS NFO BOE Â?STU PQFOFE JUT EPPST JO JO 3FZOPTB .FYJDP *O UIFZ FYQBOEFE UP UIF 3JP (SBOEF 7BMMFZ and are currently located at the intersection of 10th St and Hackberry. Siblings Jaime and Astrid Gutierrez grew up in the world of menâ€™s fashion, which paved the way for them to eventually take over the family business, James & James Formalwear.

While weddings are the top reason to rent or purchase a tuxedo, there are many more events that require special attire such as QuinceaĂąeras, Prom and Cotillion, which means itâ€™s essential to get it right. The experts at James & James can show you what to look for in a tuxedo, from what shirt to wear, to how to tie your bow tie and everything else you could ever need for that special FWFOU 'SPN UIF Â?OFMZ BUUJSFE HFOUMFNFO PG %PXOUPXO "CCFZ to James Bond, Jaime and Astrid can help you achieve any look. With sleek and slim-tailored suits, to skinny ties, they have plenty to choose from for todayâ€™s growing trends. According to these experts, black is no longer the only acceptable color for men to wear. When everyone looks the same, James & James can make sure you stand out in your suit for all the right reasons. While tan and grey suits are a great option for summer weddings, a navy tuxedo with a black satin lapel has remained one of James & James Formalwearâ€™s top seller for both grooms and guests attending black tie events. Of course, the choices donâ€™t stop there; color can be added with accessories instead â€“ whether itâ€™s a vest and tie, pocket square, or even fancy socks.

hree years ago I was a single bridesmaid at my best friend’s wedding in Boerne, Texas. After returning from the long week of wedding festivities, I decided to give online dating a try. The site had originally matched me with seven prospects, something I thought to be very odd; but little did I know that the perfect man for me was on the other side of the screen. After many emails and texts between VT -VJT BOE * OBMMZ NFU JO QFSTPO BU Starbucks, where we shared laughs over a cup of hot chocolate just days before Christmas. When New Year’s Eve arrived just over a week later, I was off to Austin with my girlfriends enjoying my holiday break from teaching; Luis was to be working at DHR. However, that night he and his best friend Taqi managed to get the night off and headed to Austin. Luis met up with me for our second date just before midnight where we danced, laughed and shared our midnight kiss.

It was that night that Luis said to me, â€œIâ€™m going to marry you one day.â€? After our relationship grew serious and 14 months together, we were enjoying a night out at South Padre Island where Luis dropped to one knee and asked me the most important question of our lives. Another fourteen months later and it was the day of our wedding on June 4th. The morning started off with heavy rain and thunder, and I called my mother in slight hysterics. We ended up performing an old Mexican ritual by marking a sign of the cross with a knife and chanting â€œRain, rain, go away.â€? By noon we had sunny and clear skies! The day continued on with my bridesmaids and I getting hair and makeup done while sipping on mimosas and going down memory lane. It was during this time that Luis was at home getting ready along with his father, brother and groomsmen. I soon dressed in my dream wedding dress, a spectacular almond silk Eve of Milady ball gown with Swarovski crystals, off the shoulder straps, and a 12-foot train. My bridal look was

completed with a crystal headpiece, teardrop earrings, and a one-of-a-kind cathedral veil bordered with crystals.

Before guests joined us to dance the night away, we enjoyed a sweet treat from our four-tier wedding confection of pink champagne and chocolate and the red velvet Brazilian jiu jitsuthemed groom’s cake. There was so much dancing and laughter with our friends and family that before we knew it, it was 2 in the morning and we were still ready to keep the party going! A late-night after party followed the reception with oven brick pizzas and many other goodies. After the wedding Luis and I traveled to South America for our honeymoon where we enjoyed a fantastic 12 days of tours through the rain forest, white water rafting, zip-lining and rappelling as well as romantic night sailing. We have now happily settled into our home in McAllen as Mr. & Mrs. Marichalar.

ike and I met late in 2012 through Abel, a mutual friend of ours who was hosting a salsa dance class one evening. He invited Mike and I along with my friends, and when time passed and no one arrived due to a social media misunderstanding, Abel partnered Mike with me. It was very awkward not only because we had just met but I also have two left feet! After that he began to stop by the coffee shop I worked at. He was alone most of the time, so we would chat and that is how our friendship began. We would occasionally go out for a drink and have very enjoyable conversations that would last hours, and two years after we NFU XF PGÂ?DJBMMZ CFDBNF B DPVQMF I think we enjoy each otherâ€™s company so much because although we share a lot of interests, weâ€™re also different and itâ€™s wonderful to learn new things about each other. We love music â€“ Mike enjoys indie and modern eclectic while I prefer romantic music from different genres. Whether itâ€™s enjoying the great outdoors, working on fun DIY projects, or obsessing over TV shows, everything we do together is an adventure. Being spontaneous has always played a role in our relationship, we have learned that doing things without planning is always much more fun, because there arenâ€™t many expectations. Like when we decided to go to Big Bend on a whim, or when we had a weekend getaway in Wimberley, Texas where he proposed while we were watching a forensic TV show. When I told my mother we would be getting married the following summer in Colorado she said â€œPlanned things never come out the way you want them toâ€?; something I didnâ€™t worry about at the time.

It took only one second for everything to change. After the horrible tragedy of my mother and grandmothersâ€™ recent deaths I realized how caught up I had gotten with our wedding. Too much time wasted at the computer researching things that seemed extremely important, and I now realize they simply didnâ€™t matter. The thought of planning something special again sickened me to the point where I didnâ€™t want to think about getting married. I think my father noticed how I was feeling and he asked Mike and I to go through with the wedding, so we decided we would just have a simple wedding and invite only our immediate family.

Shortly after, Mike and I received a call from Alaa, our wedding photographer, and he told us he would be collaborating with The Valley Wedding Pages to throw us an elopement. I couldnâ€™t believe what I was hearing, I was so excited but at the same time I felt like it was too soon. But without any worries we agreed and our elopement was planned in just two weeks; it was perfect and everything we had hoped for.

y sister-in-law made the introduction and it was the beginning of a beautiful relationship that culminated into a blissful wedding a year and six months later. We embarked on this glorious journey of discovering and rediscovering each other despite the 2,000-mile distance between us. We were very intentional about honoring one another throughout our courtship. After our engagement, planning our wedding and bringing our families and friends together was a joyous adventure. Their graceful presence and cheers was the highlight of a splendid and memorable event on April 9th, 2016. We love the outdoors and so it was a great experience exchanging our vows to the sounds of the ocean waves. As my gorgeous bride walked down the aisle with eyes full of love, I realized that I am the luckiest man on earth. At last, I have the woman that I have been praying for all my life.

Our two heroes of the day were my stoic dad, who is battling stage four cancer and my beautiful mother-in-law, who is recovering from a stroke. Against all odds, they were brave enough to show up with their spouses to honor our wedding. Adaobi and I dedicate these wedding photos to them. My wife and I do not take for granted the miracle of our meeting, we are meant to be together. We both come from a large family with both of our parents still in love after forty plus years; we have great role models in them. We look forward to a very long happily ever after that is founded in Godâ€™s wordunconditional love.

My Wife means the world to me; life is so much better with her. She is my happy place!

very bride and groom wants to smile brightly on their wedding day without the worry of a chipped tooth or not having teeth as white as snow. Because you shouldnâ€™t hide your smile in front of a camera, Dr. Christopher Martinez, DDS PA understands how important it is to feel comfortable with your bright smile for one of the most important days of your life.

Wanting you to be proud of your smile, the good dentist can assure a lasting value under his care with dedication to great dental hygiene. A combination of UFSSJÂ?D TFSWJDFT RVBMJUZ BOE BGGPSEBCMF USFBUNFOUT and the resolve to have your teeth in perfect shape proves Dr. Christopher Martinez is just a phone call BXBZ GSPN IBWJOH B DPOÂ?EFOU BOE CFBVUJGVM TNJMF PO your special day.

Dr. Martinez, a native McAllen dentist, comes from a family legacy of dentistry and has made it his purpose to serve the Rio Grande Valley by offering life changing services. After meeting with the Altonbased dentist for a complimentary â€œSmile Analysisâ€? consultation, there are certain recommendations that can be offered. One-month veneers and threeor six-month periods for braces can be considered on a case by case basis. These time options are perfect when planning a big celebration almost a year before the big day, settling any worries about being picture ready! However if treatment may occur during your wedding, Dr. Martinez can, for a short period, remove braces and retainers for those special events, even for a planned photo shoot. This can be done over the weekend, with removal on a Thursday BOE SFQMBDFNFOU JO UIF PGÂ?DF PO UIF GPMMPXJOH Monday, something Dr. Martinez assures will not affect treatment. Many patients of Dr. Martinez have stated that if they known about these month-bymonth treatments and brief removal options, they would have undergone treatment much sooner and avoided any further dental problems. If, however, a simple teeth whitening is needed, Dr. Martinez can have your smile shine perfectly, ready to dazzle your guests and the camera.

Treating yourself before your big day Massage Therapy A relaxing full body massage can help to combat the stress of wedding planning.

Facials A great facial can help your skin look itâ€™s best for the pictures you will cherish forever! Be careful not to try an intense chemical peel right beforehand if youâ€™ve never had one before, and have any work done at least a week in advance to give your skin time to calm down if necessary.

Manicures & Pedicures A mini spa day right before your wedding to get a mani-pedi is a fantastic way to decompress. Share the day with your bridesmaids to really make it special!
