Yesterday, one of my closest cousins and her boyfriend of more than three years got hitched. It was the coolest, most beautiful, and by far, the most lavish wedding I've ever been to. The wedding ceremony took place at the Santuario de San Antonio Parish in Forbes Park, Makati, and the wedding reception at The Blue Leaf, McKinley Hill, Taguig.
The last time my whole family attended a wedding was in 2005. Seven years is a long time to wait for another wedding. So we were all very excited. It was a black tie event, so imagine the stress we all had to through - the hunt for gowns/coats, shoes, and bags, setting up salon appointments and booking hotels. But in the end, it was all worth it.
Attending a wedding is the perfect excuse to feel in love the whole day. Haha. It makes you giddy about tying the knot yourself. Not that there's anyone in the running to tie the knot with me :)
My cousin met her groom when she least expected it. I was there when they first met. In fact, it was the reason she asked me to give a speech during the reception. My new cousin-in-law got really excited when I offered to tell their story.
Their wedding wasn't the most traditional. There was no bouquet throwing (thank God because I'm sure to be a candidate. Haha), no doves and garters. The bride and groom arrived at the reception wearing leather jackets and aviators. Cool, right?
The leather jackets and aviators don't exactly match the vintage theme, but everyone enjoyed the cute antic. Kaye Cunanan, on the other hand, did a very good job of sticking to the theme. She deserves a slow clap for the way she designed the whole place. And the food was to die for. The guests definitely went home with happy tummies and smiles on their faces.
I look forward to celebrating another milestone in the happy couple's life together. Nothing beats being there during the most important events in the lives of people who mean so much to us. Congratulations and best wishes to the newlyweds! :)
