Yesterday, we attended one of Paul's college barkada's wedding. It was held at Edsa Shrine and the reception was in valle verde 6. Seeing them getting married was amusing talaga. You wouldn't think na Ricky is actually marrying her Theology professor back in college. Don't get it the wrong way..they look good together. You wouldn't have the slightest hint about the age gap..in fact, the bride even looks younger than Ricky! hehe! Paul, still, is quite adjusting himself learning to address her without the word "ma'am".

Being a bride-to-be myself, I took note of everything..all in all, it was simple yet very solemn. You could see na sobrang saya ng couple...(that's the most important thing in a wedding)..

My random thoughts:

1. It was organized. They have a coordinator kaya maayos ang entourage and everything.

2. Yun nga lang, the mass didn't start on time. Medyo late both the bride and the groom.

3. Not much drama on the bridal march.."here comes the bride" yung bridal march song..pero medyo naiiyak ako..i dunno..i guess I can relate to the feeling of the bride while she's walking down the aisle. In fact, I was telling Paul.."Bi, naiiyak na ako sa wedding ng iba pano pa kaya sa mismong wedding ko?" He told me na isipin ko lang na masaya ako at excited ako. I told him.." kaya nga ako naiiyak kasi super saya at excited mararamdaman ko kasi i'll be walking down the aisle to meet you in the altar na..actually halo siya with lungkot kasi i'll be no longer be with my family na rin as ihahatid na ako ni papa.." Hay! bahala na...I'm such a crybaby pa man din.

4. The gown was simple, conservative pero ang ganda! It looks good on Joy.

5. VS&F catered the reception..dami food (buffet) and sarap! Ok din ang venue styling nila.

6. Very spacious ng reception venue.

7. Ala pala parking sa edsa shrine...you have to park at galleria pa.

8. The supposed breakfast reception started at about 11 am na.

9. I love the bubbles effect they used during the couple's entrance..they rented a bubble machine for that.

10. I love their photo mosaic..we'll be having such din..yahoo!

11. I pitied the doves while they were still in cage and even after they were let out and flew up. Yung isa nakatungtong lang sa chandelier while yung isa..naglaho..di ko nakita san na napunta.."Baby, can't we really go off this one?..naaawa talaga ako.."

12. Sayang di namin natapos ang reception since we have to rush to Bulacan pa.

13. Alang souvenir na naiuwi because of that...eat-and-run talaga hahaha!

14. Ngapala, kainis yung photographer..pinagpose pa sina paul at ng partner niya (they were candle sponsors) ng ka-sweet-an effect during the picture taking sessions. grrr! hehe selos ba? naahhh! it was just my first time to see...kaya nga sabi ko kay paul.."By, first and last na yun ha?" He answered naman, "don't worry last na yun na mag-aabay ako..dahil sa susunod ako na ang aabayan nila.." hehehe!

To Ricky and Joy...congrats and best wishes!
