Day 7 of PH Wedding Vacation: After the Reception

Image
After the reception and taking photos with friends, Jomar and I finished our food. It was surprisingly delicious. I sincerely hope I can get more, but at that time, my mom already guided the servers into packing the food for families to take home. I sat at one of the tables with my high school friends while they wait for their ride. We went up the room with Jomar (of course), and they helped me take off my wedding gown so I can feel some relief. They also helped in removing the dozens of hairpins. When Deci's dad arrived, and after I said goodbye to them (I don't know when I'll see them again), I took a shower so I can feel again. Jomar and I end up watching Filipino movies: Call Center Girl  starring comedienne Pokwang. By the time it was over, we end up having dinner with my family. That's the end of my 7th day in Manila! The wedding is finally over, and I can eat all I want again. A big thank you to everyone who helped organize my wedding. A

Day 7 of PH Wedding Vacation: The Reception

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.

Day 7 of PH Wedding Vacation: Between Ceremony and Reception

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. At Bayleaf, we went straight to our hotel room so Julius Marquez and his team can change my hair. The plan is for us to have lunch in the suite as well, but well, there's no food. 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!
