Mercedes Shields & Fabian Lopez

Our Story

We meet at NMSU. Fabian swears it was love at first sight!! We went our separate ways after graduation but somehow the good Lord brought us back together. Fabian proposed in Ruidoso, NM during a wonderful weekend with our friends and family over the 4th of July weekend. It was an unexpected and amazingly perfect proposol! We set the wedding date and have been busy ever since. We bought a new house together and couldn't be happier. We are anxiously awaiting the big day with excitement. Hope to see everyone there on April 24, 2010.

Travel Arrangements

There is only two hotels in Portales! I suggest all out of town guest expecting to stay should book rooms early to secure a place. The closest town is Clovis, about a 15- 20 minute drive.
