Wedding of the “Century” Part 3 – Reception

By | Bridal | 7 Comments

It’s amazing how the series of events happened one after the other…all so well organized and so elegantly done.  Jigger covered every single detail of his wedding just as he would at work.   From the church was cocktails then the reception.  It was a difficult task for me since there were just so many details and beautiful moments to capture.  I could not stop and go all over the place.  Even the food, there was an abundance of choices.

 The reception did not end after eating dinner, the highlight for us was the program they had which showed the videos which were very unique.  Instead of the usual video about the couple, the couple prepared a beautiful video dedicated to their parents.  Then another video, Wedding by the Ocean’s, which was such a creative presentation.  After which were the speeches by friends and family which were truly touching and so emotional that we were in tears and I am sure the others too.  We could go on and on listening to all of them.

This wedding proves that what makes a beautiful wedding is not only the beautiful decor and the food, but the feeling you get and  the love that you feel between the couple and among all their friends and family.  The overall experience of a beautiful wedding and the emotions that it brought out…We will never forget this day.

Jigger and May by Jason Magbanua

By | Bridal | 5 Comments

Heart2Heart admires Jason Magbanua and the work that he does…As I interpret events through photos, he does it through video which is so amazing!  Here is the preview of the video he made for Jigger and May 

Taken from:   http://jasonmagbanua.com/blog/ 

The invitation said it all.

It was going to be a grand three-day celebration the likes of which Boracay Island has never seen – the couple’s birthday celebration on Friday, the wedding on Sat and an island cruise and Luau the day after.

And if that weren’t enough, David Morales flew in to play at the after-party.  And what an event that was! It lasted until daybreak (me getting old, I haven’t partied like that since Ken Ishi and Tricky in the late 90s).

Jigger and May from Jason Magbanua on Vimeo.

One look and the adjectives that come to mind easily would be “grandiose” and “extravagant”.  But as an attendee, I felt it to be a really special celebration amongst family and friends.  The speeches were heartfelt and the marriage vows deeply moving.

 

At the core of it all, amidst the trappings, here  were two people proclaiming commitment.

Wedding of the “Century” Part 1 – Arrival and Rehearsal Dinner Nov. 7

By | Bridal | 8 Comments

This is only the beginning of  a series of events  for the wedding of Jigger and May.  As soon as we arrived, there was already an arrival dinner and also to celebrate the birthdays of May and Jigger which was on November 6.  It felt like the wedding already.   Happy Birthday Jigger and May!  We love you!

It was so nice of Tita Hilda, the mother of the groom, to say something that evening.  All her boys love her and that evening as she spoke, it reinforced the closeness of their family and how much the boys love their mom and always praise her.  It was Tita Hilda who encouraged all her sons to strive for the best education and according to Tito Joey, she drove her boys to school everyday!

Tita Hilda acknowledged the presence of Fr. Suarez who was the celebrant for the church wedding.  Fr. Suarez is a very busy priest as everyone knows.   He has done only two weddings, one other and Jigger and May’s

Aria Cucina Italiana

By | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

Included in the wedding invitation of Jigger and May were a list of recommended restaurants…How I wish we could have tried all…

As soon as we arrived and settled down in the hotel which was around 1:00 pm, we wanted to have a light meal as we were expecting much for dinner. We ended up going to number one on the list and a familiar and popular place,  ARIA

One pizza to share for two was enough for us

Discovery Shores Boracay

By | Travel | 4 Comments

 Jigger and May spoiled us!  Now we always want to stay in Discovery Shores when in Boracay! 🙂  What a beautiful place… The staff in the hotel are all very cheerful and friendly and every single one of them never fails to greet you good morning, good afternoon or good evening when they pass you.  And I like their pins which say ” Service that’s ALL HEART.”

There is even a shuttle to take you wherever you want to go.

Heart2Heart is so proud to mention that it was designed by only the best, Architect Willie Coscolluela together with his son who is our good friend, Gary Coscolluela.  We are looking forward already to our next stay in February…..

As soon as we arrive in the airport, the spoiling starts already!  We have the best boat in the island – it is airconditioned and they serve you bottled water… going back to the airport on the way home- they serve sandwiches and juice

When we arrive in the hotel, they give you cold towel and a welcome drink….then we are greeted by JR who escorts us to our room

Our room was a Junior Suite , this is the lowest category among the rooms and we were so happy.  But imagine how the other rooms look like. They have one bedroom, two bedroom, with jacuzzi etc etc

Complimentary Foot spa as soon as you arrive in your room

LazerXtreme

By | Entertainment, For kids | No Comments

I took Javier with his cousin, Lucas, today at LazerXtreme.  Javs had a party here and he enjoyed it so much.  The next day, his older brother also went here with his teenage friends.   It seems to be very popular among the kids.  One game lasts for around 20 minutes.  I went inside with them and it does look like fun, even adults will enjoy playing with each other.  Looks like this will be the latest hang out of the kids 🙂lazerxtremelogo.jpgp1060162.JPGp1060167.JPGp1060177.JPGp1060174.JPGp1060195.JPGp1060197.JPGp1060179.JPGp1060190.JPGp1060192.JPGp1060210.JPGp1060213.JPGp1060214.JPGp1060215.JPGp1060169.JPGlazerxtreme-website-lazertag-arena-in-manila-20081116.jpg  p1060157.JPG

Ballpark Fries

Whenever my cook, Edna,  prepares this, it seems to always be a “hit” so I thought of sharing it here at Heart2Heart.  Edna’s version looks even more yummy than the photo 🙂
