Kasal

Sa loob ng dalawang linggo, dalawang kasal ng kaibigan ang aking nadaluhan.
Sadyang ang buwan ng Disyembre ang paboritong buwan ng mga magsing-irog upang idaos ang kanilang pag-iisang dibdib. Hindi lamang dahil sa lamig at aliwalas ng panahon kundi't lalo na dahil sa ito rin ang buwang tila lahat ng tao ay may pera.

Sadyang hindi biro ang pagpapakasal. Isa akong patunay sapagkat halos magdadalawang taon na rin ng ako ay yayaing magpakasal ng aking kasintahan. Ngayon pa lamang kami nakakapagsimulang mag-ipon sapagkat sadyang napakahirap ng buhay. Maraming mga gastusing di inaasahan ang bigla na lamang sumusulpot.

Isa lang ang aking ipinagdadasal ngayon. Sana ay tuluyan na naming maipon ang aming kinakailangan upang matupad ang minimithing pagpapakasal. Excited na talaga kaming dalawa, sa totoo lang.

Here are some of my thoughts on weddings:

1. Nothing can beat how food can leave the best impression on people attending weddings.

This I have proven after attending Jopet's wedding which was catered by Barci. Its a conference/convention center where Jopet and his wife had their reception. Lechon was a highlight. Its been a while since I last attended a wedding that had lechon. Basta Pinoy, di pwede mawalan ng lechon.

The Texas Ribs was also a winner. So was the Seafood Ala Pobre and even their dessert, oh heaven, Mango Tapioca! If these people can cater a wedding in Batangas, expect them to be my caterer.

2. Weddings must always be personalized.

When I say personalized, I mean, the wedding should obviously show what the "couple" is all about. And that was what Tintoy and Peewee had on their wedding last night. I've attended hundreds of weddings already but it was my first time to witness such an event wherein everything about the couple could be felt. From their table names (titles of their favorite movies) to their presentation (the brother of the bride is a bartender and so he was the one who prepared the couple's drink - take note, a performance like no other with the twirling of the bottles and the shakers pa!), everything was truly well thought of by the couple.

3. Location definitely counts.

When planning the location of the church and reception venue, the location must definitely be considered, most especially the traffic condition. Need I say more/

4. Never be late.

We were late last night (take a big guess on why...clue...see item # 3). Its really a no no even if you're only a guest. Although the bride and groom barely noticed, everyone else did.
