Champagne and Latte

Le Couple

March 28, 2009. My older brother and his wifey have been married by civil rites for thirteen years already. They have been living in the United States for the last 8 years. They have been blessed by two cute kids, Jumbok and Jade. For their thirteenth year anniversary, they decided to have a church wedding when they came back here in the Pinas.


It was a fantasy wedding, where the princess, finally met his prince. Their friends, the pioneer batch of SK Chairpersons, of which they were themselves, and where they met, helped them make that fantasy wedding come true.

Le Mudrah et Fudrah!

Both families are very happy for them. After coming this far, and after all these years, they finally walk down the aisle, and celebrate their enduring love, with God and the Catholic Church as witnesses to their union.

Little Bro Makoy, Lil Sis Shane, Sarah, Niece Jean Jovi, Big Sis Mommy Dianne, and Daddy Willy with their daughter Excelsa, and Nephews Kyle and Baby Eric flanking her.

Everyone was all dolled up and prettified. Everyone glammed up for the momentous event that celebrated love and the culmination of the search for that one true love.

It was fun/fab to wear straight locks for a while. Salamat sa plancha.




Check out them sneakers, as per suggested by fashion consultant atcheng YJ

Amidst the hulabaloo and wedding kournikovakels, my Dad got time to talk to me during candid moments in the reception.

Dad: Nak, ang gwapo mo ah, mas gwapo ka sa kuya mo.

Me: tenx tay, syempre pa, mana sayo. Saka sige na nga muna, mas gwapo sya today lang. Kasal nya eh. Ibigay na natin muna. Hehehehe

Dad: Kaya pag nagpakasal ka dapat mas maganda ang papangasawahin ha?

Me: Tay, magpapakasal lang ako under one circumstance. Pag nakita ko na yung aking one true love. Eh pag inlab ka naman eh, sya na yung pinakamaganda para sa yo di ba? Meanwhile, tama nang pogi ako enough for myself.

Dad: Masyado ka kasing mapili eh. Yan, nagiisa ka pa rin until now.

Me: Tara tay, kain na tayo.

Hahay buhay na makulay!

O yan, pano yan mahal? Kailangan mo daw maging mas maganda. Eh pano kung pogi ka pala? Lagot! Bahala na si Lord! To the newly wed, best wishes. To me and whoever you are out there, I hope it's not just a wish, at best.

Father and son. The best photo I got.

P.S: I got the garter belt during the toss ceremony. This happened for the nth time kaya spell asa na ako ang susunod na ikakasal. Pero kung mangyari yun, wala nang engra engradeng kachuchuhan. Ito ang gusto kong mangyari. Ikaw at ako, naka Levis 501 lang at naka white shirt. Hihilahin lang antin ang pari, saglit na saglit lang, kuning ninong ang MMDA chairman, para mabilis kumuha ng permit. 10 minutes or less, sa gitna ng EDSA. You and me and all of the people. Mabilis na "I do," yun na yon! Payag ka?
