It was a day anticipated by all of their friends from different circles. That's why you could feel the excitement and joy all around the Capitol Parish in Cebu. Everyone was waiting for Lu-Ann to finally walk down the aisle, and into Mads' arms. And they weren't disappointed. Lu-Ann was simply resplendent in her terno. (More on that next time.)
While it's customary that the bride is blooming on her wedding day, in this case, the groom was equally blooming. All the San Miguel folks agree that Mads was the picture of a "glowing groom." And it can only come from the happiness of finally being married to the woman he loves.
I'm glad to be a part of the organization of this wedding. It was truly a creative collaboration between so many talented people. From the artists who drew the invitation and souvenir cards, to the poets who lent their prose to the couple on their special day. We also made sure that the little details of the wedding reflected the couple's passion - bird watching. We named each table after an endemic Filipino bird, and there were name cards which carried the same theme. Their souvenir was a wind chime with birds, and it fit in perfectly with the theme.
The wedding program was so heartfelt - family members and friends from their different circles gave heartwarming and insightful speeches about Lu-Ann and Mads. And eventhough most of the people in the room didn't know each other, by the end of the reception, we were all like one big, happy family.
One big, happy family who all had one thing in mind:
"Sa hinaba-haba man daw ng prusisyon, sa simbahan pa din ang tuloy."
