vanessa's wedding

last saturday, i went to my friend's wedding in cavite. it was a pretty long ride from las piñas, where i spent the previous night at my other friend janet's house. we were almost late for the wedding as our ride (c/o janet's bf) was late. i guess God was with us because there wasn't any traffic on our way to cavite, save for a minute temporary halt at bacoor market near zapote.

the ceremony has held at the very quaint
our lady of fatima church in binakayan, kawit, cavite. i loved the idea that the enormous statue of our lady was put "in" the church behind the altar via a large open window with matching man-made waterfalls which were simulataneously turned on as the couple took their place at the altar.

the reception was held at the river naiad. i wasn't as impressed at the place though. it looked like a residential lot that was converted into a venue for different occasions. the tables of the guests were all scattered out on the garden area, while the presidential table was placed on a somewhat stage with wooden planks as flooring. i really hated those planks because the heels of my stilettos got constantly stuck in the spaces in between. and to top it all off, before we left the venue, one heel got stuck and it took 3 people (men pa!) to get it out. it was totally embarassing!

it was a pretty hot afternoon, i tell you, but it was worth all the trouble. i'm sure vanessa and carlo are now happy in each others' arms.
