Agullana - Malab Wedding (06.08.07)










Last June 8, 2007 [My Dad's birthday], marks the beginning of Boysie Agullana & Beng Malab's lives as husband & wife. The wedding ceremony and reception was held at Oasis Phoenix Garden.

All suppliers were on time. At the time we arrived at Edsa Shangri-La Hotel, Ara Fernando was doing her make-up. The gown was made by Loejai Lopez, who travel all the way from Ilocos Norte to assist Beng with her gown. The gown was simple but elegant. Souvenirs were made by her Dad & brother.

The wedding was a reunion of family, friends & relatives. I noticed a number of balikbayans from US and Australia attended the wedding making the celebration more memorable. Others came all the way from Ilocos Norte. Cousins of Beng rendered special song numbers, and they were very good in their performance.

Ms. May our emcee did a great job in hosting the event. Every one had a great time even the newlywed. Boysie & Beng, we wish you a happy marriage for the rest of your lives. Congratulations and Best Wishes!


Hill - Alonzo Wedding (07.07.07)


For everyone this is the luckiest day of the year. But for George & Lilian they are the luckiest couple who married at 777 (07 July 2007). Lilian an Ex- Philippine Army met George at the US Embassy Manila, who is an Ex - American Army. Lilian then was working at US Embassy travel agency. When George saw her, he asked his friend to ask Lilian to be their tour guide. Lilian accepts the offer, touring them around Manila (Rockwell, Mega Mall & Greenbelt). For several months of getting to know each other, George finally asked Lilian to marry him in front of her Father in Law. And she said “Pano ba yan Dad?”. And her father in law replied “Ikaw?” ….

On July 7, 2007, George & Lilian got married at St. Francis of Assisi Church, Ortigas, Pasig City [beside Lourdes School]. They had their reception at The Peninsula Manila, Conservatory, Makati City expecting 110 guests. Lilian wanted George to experience a Philippine traditional wedding. In the program, we added the prosperity dance (money dance) and kissing game for the married couples. The program lasted for an hour and a half. And I can see in their eyes that they’re both happy with the outcome of their wedding. Planning the wedding for three months was a challenge for me. But I definitely enjoyed working with this couple.

The next day I received a text message from Lilian…

SMS: Hi bing! I’d lyk to thank u! Coz everything was really great! Bing I’ve got some gift for you so f u have time pls let me knw wer can I bring it… Again thank u n to ur staff… All of u really makes a good job.

Lilian, thank you for the gift!
