Our story

An old story

Their grandparents danced at the same Christmas ball in 1967. Sixty years later their grandchildren met at the same hotel.

  1. 2019

    We met

    A friend's birthday, one shared umbrella.

    The long way round

    Two cities, a call every night.

The ceremony

Our wedding rites

For our guests who are new to a Filipino Catholic wedding, here is what you will see.

  1. The entrance

    The entourage walks in first, then the bride with her parents.

  2. The readings

    Members of our families read from Scripture.

  3. The vows

    We promise ourselves to each other, before God and all of you.

  4. The rings

    Blessed and exchanged, a sign of faithfulness.

  5. The arrhae

    Thirteen coins, a promise to provide for our home together.

  6. The candles

    Lit by our candle sponsors: God's light in our marriage.

  7. The veil

    Draped by our veil sponsors over our shoulders: clothed as one.

  8. The cord

    A cord in a figure of eight around us: bound together for life.

  9. The nuptial blessing

    The priest blesses our marriage, and we walk out as husband and wife.
