The one with the wedding of Raffy and Chacha

Today, Charisse and Raffy tied the knot and they are finally married! my good college friend, charisse had a wonderful wedding, a wedding full of laughs and kalokohan. we arrived early at Vivere since Simon will play her bridal march and he has to practice the song with the sister of the groom who will of course sing the song. They had the ceremony at St. James the Great in alabang and reception followed at Aqua Park, Hillsborough. Thanks to my good kumareng w@wie Lea for giving me such "detailed" directions, we were'nt lost at all. on the way nga, natatawa na lang ako while simon was driving kasi super detailed tlga ng "map" nya, impossible for us to get lost. hehe. :) anyway, God is really good coz for the past days eh laging umuulan pag gabi na. lo and behold, not single raindrop was felt at the reception. kelangan tlga faith eh para matupad prayers mo and i know my friends prayed for a good weather which they had. Raffy, the groom, was the happiest groom i've ever seen in a wedding...promise!!! kakatuwa nga, nung signing of contract, he held up the contract and showed it to us, parang nanalo ng lotto style! hahaha...and everybody clapped and laughed when he did that. tapos, laging patawa ng patawa ng reception. everyone was just amused with him. ask nga ng barkada ko, "mare, feeling ko malala pa si simon dito sa wedding nyo. hehe" syempre, anna and her son rasta were there. lolo and jp too, carl, isis, arianne & art pati. at mga epal tlga kme ever. imagine, habang nag march na palabas yung couple, hinarang namin sila just before the door and nagpa-picture kme! hahaha...ang kakapal namin noh! tuwang tuwa naman yung photographer at ni-picturan din kme!!! hehe. pati sa reception, lagi kme naka-epal sa couple, feeling ko puros mukha namin andun. haaayyy! sa super saya, we went to W pa at Park square and had drinks pa...la lang, catching up lang. (uy, bottomless iced tea lang kme ni simon...hehe, we dont drink eh) then, went home at around 12mn na ata. was so tired pero masaya! syempre, being the OC and observant bride to be that iam, i took notes din syempre of the wedding details. hehe, and here they are:
a. the church is so nice and spacious in parking.
b. i cried nung bridal march. i didnt know ganda ng song na "standing right next to me" for a bridal march. (syempre, si simon din tumugtog eh. hehe)
c. aqua park is nice din...pero nicer kung may luminaries and the like...pero lam ko naman na, iba priorities nila sa wedding, pero ganda pa rin.
d. their caterer is queensland. in fairness, sarap food nila. unti nga lang serving, pero masarap. the serving, mejo di ko gusto. di na kme binigyan ng water after one refill. tapos, feeling ko din limited ang motifs nila coz my friend's motif is lavender. pero blue and table cloth nila.
e. their souvenirs are DIY which i find so cute. perfume na maliliit, then nakalagay sa pouch. nicely done!

yun lang po. :) congrats and best wishes again Cha and Raffy! God bless you both.
