The Wedding Month

JUNE is definitely the month of weddings (well, aside from December)....

I have 3 wedding invitations inside my bag. Imagine that? This June, I'll be jumping from one wedding to another. I didn't really enjoy attending weddings back when I was younger because I always get frustrated whenever I don't get to capture the dove. Yes, dove, the bird. Remember how the newly-wed couple would release 2 doves as a symbol of, wait, I forgot what it symbolizes for.... (Googling.... the wedding doves symbolize partnership, fidelity, and a gesture of "'til death do us part").

Anyway, I've reached that age when my contemporaries are getting married. I'm not saying that I'm old, hahaha! But wedding invitations have been pouring in since around 2 years ago and I've learn to let go of the dove and enjoy the wedding reception as a real guest of the newlyweds. It's funny how the Filipino wedding traditions have remained but now with dashes of interesting and perky twists. That awkward feeling of single ladies getting bribed just to join the tossing of the bouquet is still there but I've noticed that it takes lesser time to convince the ladies nowadays. Maybe most of them would like to get hitched right away.

Good luck to all the June brides! I hope you won't get too stressed when the big day comes.

I celebrated our (beau and mine's) monthsary by attending my cousin Martin's wedding with her lovely bride, Luna, at Redemptorist Church. Reception followed at the Ladislawa Garden Village Clubhouse.

I was the impromptu host for the day and I honestly did not know what to do! I only attended a wedding ONCE. And I mean attending a wedding as a guest and not a flower girl. I honestly had no idea what to do and I'm just thankful that I had *a lot* of coaches, some are even giving unsolicited advices. Lol! But the party went well and I have the bride, herself, to tell me that she enjoyed it. =)

Bloopers. So I prepared a little song for the newlyweds and I am NOTORIOUS in forgetting song lyrics. And my Alzheimer tendencies did not let me down 'coz I literally forgot the song lyrics: the part I like best! I am such a failure!

I enjoyed the party. The food by Kubiyertos was really great! And the people from the venue were very nice to look for and lend me a cable for my laptop. But I sure do hope that Ladislawa would fix their wifi problems. I would've perfected my song if only I was able to search the lyrics for Michael Buble's Everything. Hehehe!
