Day 7 of PH Wedding Vacation: The Reception

Image
I don't remember a lot of things that happened during the reception, but the photos served as a great reminder of the many funny moments. Couple Entrance It all started with Jomar and I entering the reception hall. Mitch and Wayne (maid of honour and best man) were our hosts for the program. They modified the order a bit to give Jomar, and I time to eat because we weren't able to do so in our room. We ate a few bites of the food and continued with the program. I don't want to be eating in the corner while our guests watch. Introduction of Entourage While we were eating, they introduced all the fantastic people who invested time and resources to be part of our entourage. Father-Daughter Dance Then, we continued with giving flowers to both our moms. After which, I danced with Papa. He was holding back his tears. Flowers for both our moms Father-Daughter dance First Couple Dance Jomar and I had our first danced to "So This is Love"

The travel from Manila Cathedral to Bayleaf Hotel Intramuros is less than 10 minutes by car. Before we left the church, we enjoyed taho from Mang Felix, and I know our guests did too. Be sure to call Mang Felix for taho wedding services. Going to the Bayleaf Hotel Intramuros In the car, I kept telling the driver, Kuya derecho airport na po.

We took a few videos in the room and went to the lobby. We asked guests waiting to go up to the reception hall. We had a photo session and went inside the reception hall immediately. I hate to make our guests wait just for Jomar and me to have a long photo session (I have enough beautiful photos from our Canada wedding, thank you very much). However, the few that we did is fantastic! Thanks, Blessing Photography!

Day 7 of PH Wedding Vacation: Wedding Ceremony

After 9 months of planning and preparation, this is it! It is our wedding in the Philippines in front of family and friends. I want to tell you that it was magical and amazing, but much of it was a blur, but I'll do my best to describe how I felt. I love the Blessing Photography creative shots after the ceremony! It was my turn to walk down the aisle - everybody (from the Manila Cathedral guide to the videographer at the back) is telling me to slow down. I didn't even know that I'm walking fast! I want to tell you that I was nervous or scared, but at that moment, I felt calm and genuinely joyful. As I walk going to the altar, I saw... My Parents They look amazing. My mom holding her tears and my dad looking dashing. Jomar My instinct is to look for Jomar, and when I saw him in front - a wave of excitement and love went over me. All the anger from earlier vanished. I hate how much I love Jomar at that moment. Jomar, his parents, and Wayne (best ma
