We hosted a dinner in honor of Gil and Christine because we wanted to get to know Christine better.  We remember our friendship with Gil through all these years…And it is funny that among all the girlfriends of Gil, Christine was the only one we did not get to know so well and she ends up being THE ONE!  We are so happy that Gil has finally found his future partner in life.  We hope to continue to be part of your life as a married couple and we only wish you the best!

One of Manila’s most eligible bachelor………not anymore :-) 

We welcome Christine into our family…. I say OUR FAMILY because we feel very much a part of their family as we love them all!  We are fortunate to know and be friends with a great family!

 I see a little of myself in Christine as I remember documenting everything - from dates, pictures, souvenirs etc.. 

With their permission, Heart2Heart is happy to share their wedding website which Christine created.  And here are some of the pages which is taken from that beautiful website

As one of my good friends Angela came all the way from Canada to be part of my entourage for my wedding, I made sure I went to hers as well.  It was in Vancouver and held on my birthday.  So, how can I forget?  It was a beautiful wedding, very intimate and very elegant!

Angela married a Swiss gentleman, Stephan, so now she lives in Switzerland and they have an adorable little boy, Felix. 

Thanks Stephan and Angela for sharing your special day with Heart2Heart…I miss you!

Vicky is the pretty lady behind Cucina Victoria in Powerplant Mall, Rockwell.  She is the one who also makes those yummy pasta sauces that are bottled- that was how she actually started her food business.  Vicky and I used to work together around 10 years ago and she used to design for the in house brands of Rustan’s.  When she left she started by selling the bottled pasta sauces.  She has always been very creative.

And recently I found out from Tita Rose that Vicky caters for weddings.  Wow! I immediately contacted Vicky to tell her that I wanted to feature her because Tita Rose was raving about her.  Last April was the Despedida de Soltera of my cousin and I finally got to see Vicky’s work and taste her food.  Of course I was not disappointed!  

More power to you Vicky!!! and I am looking forward to seeing you at another event so I can partake again of your wonderful creations. 

I asked Vicky for other photos of her caterings, here are a few:

Even on Keena’s wedding day, she still had a hand in all the preparations together with her very, very creative brother Carlo.  The decorations were so beautiful!!  Carlo was the mastermind of the decorations and never before had we seen so many candles in one place.  The church was lit with 1,500 candles.  Fifteen people were tasked to light all those 1500 candles in twenty minutes.  It was really beautiful.  My photo nor the professional photo did not capture that exact moment.  

I asked Keena to send me a photos especially of the decor since I had only two.  I also asked her to send me photos of the food.  Apparently, no one ever takes the food. How sad!  :-)    

Thanks John and Keena for sharing your special day with Heart2Heart.  I know I always force you to let me feature your events….only because they are always so memorable and beautiful.

As June is Bridal month, Heart2Heart would like to feature some weddings in the past.  Heart2Heart was already covering weddings but only a few photos with a small digital camera. I asked a few couples to send me their professional photos so I can mix it with my unprofessional photos but then I changed my mind and decided to just use what I have.  So please bear with them.  

This wedding was a very beautiful wedding held in Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club.  I always love the decor when Tita Nena or Rustan’s flower shop designs it.  Tita Nena and Rustan’s Flower Shop were the pioneers in this business.  She should have made a book on all her events and I wish I had captured all of them through photos.   

Thanks Kat and Pao for letting Heart2Heart share your SPECIAL DAY! 

Superb dinner by Gaita Fores!
