Yesterday was the church wedding of two friends from college - Ella and Gino.
Around this time last year, Ella surprised us all with a text message saying that she and Gino were off to Paris to tie the knot. While we didn't get to be part of that really special occasion, I'm really happy that the two decided to do a church wedding as well so that friends and family may celebrate with them.
What's nice about these special moments is that friends who rarely see each other get to hang out and relive the old days. Haha! For Ella's wedding, Tey and I got to hang out with John.
Facebook is really to be thanked for this. A couple of days before the wedding, I asked Ella who else she wanted to invite. She mentioned she couldn't get in touch with John, so after putting the phone down, I checked John's last log in on his Friendster account and also checked if he had a Facebook account.
He did. I left him a message and the following day, I already got a text message from him. I really love the Internet!!! Hahaha!
Anyway, going back to the wedding. It was a bit non-traditional. The two wanted to do away with the usual stuff, and although their parents seemed to have been alarmed by this decision, everyone was happy upon seeing the two together.
The wedding was held at Aquinas Church in San Juan, where Gino spent his elementary and high school days. Reception was at beautiful Cafe Ysabel. Food was also really good. I enjoyed everything. Hehehe!
The nice thing about working for a TV network is that entertainment is never a problem. Most of Ella's guests were seasoned TV people. The only difference is that some appeared in front of the camera, while others were behind it. So throughout the entire evening, there was much singing, dancing, laughter and plugging of TV shows. Hehehe!
Although we wanted to stay til the party ended, we couldn't. I had to get home early because of a very early Sunday morning commitment. Haha!
Congratulations, Ella and Gino!!! We love you super!
