A lovely wedding

Last 080808, my brother-in-law, Ricky wed the love of his life, Rhea in a simple but elegant wedding at Our Lady of Consolation Parish in Tierra Pura Subd. It was a wonderful day. Family and friends were there to celebrate this union and we're all truly happy. We've been preparing for this day (the family) for more than a year and we're just too glad that everything turned out great as planned and envisioned by the couple. I represented one of the ninang (an aunt based in the U.S. who can't make it to the event) and guess what? I was paired with Dr. Hernando Perez! Yes! the very controversial former Secretary. * wink * social climbing wannabe me hahaha!

But during the short period of time I was with the guy, I find him nice and the guy's soft-spoken pala! Here are some pictures of wedding ceremony:

The wedding reception was held at the Grand Terrace in Commonwealth, Q.C. The venue is quite small compared to hotel ballrooms but perfect for a small, intimate parties. The food was great also. I enjoyed being sitted in the VIP table with the principal sponsors because the food was served to us. No need to fall in line in the buffet table, lol! The wedding program was short but entertaining. Thanks to the wonderful event coordinators from Angels Wink and the program host, Atom. Here are more pictures of the reception:

Today we attended the wedding of our good friends, Gale & Melanie. It was a beautiful wedding from the solemn ceremony held at the Santuario de San Antonio to the wonderful dinner reception at the Manila Polo Club. The newly-weds were so overwhelmed with the turn-out of guests in the church and reception considering that they are expecting less attendance from friends and relatives since its a workday. But, Gale & Lanie are a well-loved couple so many of their friends and relatives really took the time out (like us) just to be with them on their special day. Both the bride and groom looked gorgeous in their wedding attire. Lanie is resplendent in her wedding gown while Gale looks dashing in his barong tagalog. The church was magnificent and overflowing with flowers such as calla lilies and roses in hue of orange and yellow. The Manila Polo Club, as always, is a nice place to hold your reception. The couple made sure that all the guests will have a wonderful time by having a lively reception program with Paolo Clemente of Angel Winks Production as hosts and event organizer. The food was great too! They serve Japanese food no less since the groom has a special affiliation with Japan having worked there for some time. My husband obviously had the time of his life since Japanese food is one of his favorite, lol. He almost had his plate filled with makis and tempura and sushi. So embarassing, hahaha. I also super love the cake from Alex Franco! So yummy!

Anyways, the program was short but very entertaining. I like it that way so that the couple will have more time to mingle with their guests rather than just sitting there in front for a long time. As usual, I won't let this occasion to pass without taking some pictures. I'm such a photo opp person, bwahahaha.. Here are some pics from the wedding:

Congratulations again, Gale & Lanie! All the best!
