Success Story

A family of four standing on a grassy field with a mountain range and blue sky in the background, celebrating their wedding.

“ILS had the pleasure of setting up and joining ILS participants Sally and Mark Alonzo at their wedding March 16, 2024. It was a beautiful wedding set in a park in Westlake. Sally and Mark now have a blended family with Sally’s two sons, Riley and Zion, and Mark’s son, Christopher. Sally’s longtime pastor performed the ceremony in front of many of Sally and Mark’s family and friends. There was a reception with dancing and celebration. So much joy and love was shared at this beautiful event.”
