'Tis the season to be married

Wedding season is upon us! Last weekend alone, I attended two weddings. It's the second wave of "the event"--the first was the debut, about eight years ago! (Gasp!) Now, my girl friends are at the marrying age (if ever there is such a thing), so a bunch of people are getting hitched. One more to follow in a couple of months. The next wave would be baptisms/guy friends' weddings. And then children's parties. How time flies, indeed. Seems like yesterday when we were attending soirees. Haha. (I wonder if kids these days still have those.)

A very intimate affair, which was really nice. The first in our barkada (in the country) to get married, and we're more than happy to welcome Mike into the family! Actually, the wedding just made it official--he's been one of us for so long.

Chuminoy has made an honest woman out of our founding Chuminay. I was touched that I was invited to the wedding--Chums and I became friends at my old office, and I don't even remember how it happened since we weren't in the same department or the same group. I just remember chatting with her after an art exhibit and, next thing I knew, the Chuminays were formed. "It's like a magic!" (Dang, I can't remember where I heard that from...)

One of the memorable things about this wedding was that BFF Ching and I were wedding crashers! Haha. Well, not really. We sent regrets and were just supposed to attend the mass and the cocktails. But when we got to the cocktails/reception venue, the food looked so good that we decided to stay. Haha. Plus I didn't have to leave early after all and it was quite fun hanging out with some old friends. So Ching and I got our fill of paella, pasta, roast beef...mmmm...getting hungry. There was even an ice cream station! Is that cool or what?

Ooooh. A pic of the pur-ty lights at the reception venue. They hypnotized us
into crashing the wedding... Really... (Pic courtesy of Marcy)

My Pulp Fiction photo. Ching was pretty trigger-happy, which would've been
fine if it hadn't been someone else's cam! (Sorry, Marcy!)

More photos to follow.
