Wedding, Again

I'll be attending a wedding, again, but this time as a guest.

My niece already booked me for hair and make-up at Jesi Mendez at Cash and Carry Mall.  She also came over to accompany me.  Nice. 😊  Good thing, too, as there was confusion on the schedule.  We were there upon the mall's opening at 10 AM.  I thought it would just take one hour, we left the mall around 12 noon already.  I was supposed to leave the condo around 1 PM for the 2PM wedding.

But first, I passed by Pet Express to buy the broken toy of Theo, the dog.  It is not available.  We were advised to check their Ayala Circuits Mall.  Will do it on Monday.  Then, we dropped off my niecea her condo.

A quick lunch and change of clothes after, left for the church.  I was wearing my Rado Captian Cook Automatic on my left wrist.  All along I was thinking that the wedding will take place at Paco Park's Chapel.  This is why I brought my Lomo'Instant Automat Glass to take photos.  Good thing, we followed the directions of Google Maps.  When we arrived at Paco Church, the bride is about to walk the aisle.  Left the camera inside the car.  LOL


The reception is at Ramon Magsaysay Center.  We were not yet allowed to get in the venue but there is a grazing table, kiosk for scents/perfume and photo booth.   We were given a stub to claim our scent of choice as a souvenir.  We learned later it is for the first 100 guests.


The celebration was fun.  It is well-organized.  The emcee is very good--it is as if you are watching a live TV show.  And the food is good.  Actually, the table we were assigned is very strategic--we are near the buffet table.  LOL

On the way home, passed by McDonald's drive-thru for Edgar, the driver, would not have yet eaten his dinner.

Wedding

I will be a principal sponsor.  This is my second.  My first was years ago.

My niece helped a lot.  She accompanied me to buy my clothes, arranged for the hair and make-up.  She even came over to oversee the hair and make-up.

Started around 9 AM.  I finished around 10:30 AM.  Target ETD is 11 AM.  Best to be earlier.  Theo, the dog, is with Edgar who pushed his (Theo's) stroller / wagon so that the former will be out of the condo for the meantime and avoid barking.

Thanks to Google Map, we were able to reach the church where the wedding will take place--the Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel.  Was there before the wedding procession, targeted at 12 noon.  My partner is no show.  One of the ninongs also does not have partner.  Thus, we became the "pair".  LOL

It is a concelebrated Mass with three priests presiding.  The procession also did not start as scheduled.  But I think this is not an issue because there is no wedding after.  Also, the parents of the groom are active in this Church.  I think, taking photos of the wedding will be "unlimited".  Hehehe!

As soon as the photos with the principal sponsors are done, left for the reception.  The reception is at Gazebo Royale.  

There is a grazing table where the guests can snack on while waiting for the event that would start around 4PM.  I would think it is a late lunch early dinner...?  LOL

It was fun.
