“For this child we have prayed.” 🤍🌙
Years ago, we had the privilege of bringing Randy and Rashonda’s wedding day to life. This weekend, we were honored to celebrate another beautiful chapter with them—the upcoming arrival of their baby girl, Menyil Grace Ruiz. Her name, Menyil, means “moon” in the Desert Cahuilla language, a sweet inspiration for this celebration.
We traveled from the desert to Temecula, where their home church graciously welcomed us to transform their sanctuary into a space filled with love and celebration.
Guests created personalized onesies and wrote prayer cards for Menyil—a keepsake of blessings for her and her parents to cherish for years to come. Sweet members of their church family brought homemade baked goods for the dessert table, and Randy’s cousin Myriam of Pastel Bravo created the most delicate cake—a beautiful confectionery work of art fit for a princess. 🎂✨
Randy and Rashonda, thank you for inviting us into another unforgettable moment in your lives. From your wedding day to celebrating your baby girl, it has been such a joy to be part of your story. 🤍
