First Wedding for the Year

We attended a friend's wedding yesterday in Tagaytay Highlands. My brother J, who was the best man left Manila Saturday and helped in the preparations for the destination wedding. My parents and I left Sunday morning at 9:20 AM. We arrived in Tagaytay around 11 AM, earlier than expected.

The SLEX drive was a breeze. When we arrived in Tagaytay, it was drizzling but we enjoyed the cold temp. Since we were on the groom side, we proceeded to his unit at Belle View West. My bro and the veil sponsor stayed there too. We had lunch, laughed, joked and helped in the preparation.

Photographers came in a few minutes later, the housekeeping staff (the wedding suit needed pressing), the wedding coordinator, the personal assistant. It was a busy day but we were all relaxed. The photographers offered to take some non-wedding pics so we even had fun pictorials while waiting for the groom to get dressed.

We all helped in tying the tie. I even kidded that next time, don't use an expensive one cos it takes a while to tie. hahahaha. We arrived at the church a few minutes before schedule. The wedding was at 3PM, cocktails at 4:30PM and reception at 6PM. There were 250 guests so Madre de Dios chapel was brimming!

We enjoyed the photo booth, food, ceremony, AVP (we had significant exposure!) and of course the company of good friends. There was fireworks display to cap the great event so literally it ended with a bang!

By 8:30PM, we were on our way to Manila. We arrived 10PM. Again, the drive was a breeze despite the zero visibility due to thick fog while traversing the winding roads of Tagaytay Highlands.

It was a super great day and I wish to attend more weddings like this, no stress just happy moments!
