An American and Filipina Wedding Affair
Unexpected
afternoon rain did not deter the solemn ceremony of an American and
Filipina wedding held at San Agustin Church with relatives who flew
from the province to witness a special wedding day. The bride looked
stunning wearing the bridal gown shipped from Beverly Hills. A
distinct class worn by a petite morena beauty personifying elegance.
The
songs and music chosen by the couple define their love of music and
dedicated wedding musicians of Augustine Music and Events were there
to personify what beauty is there for music. An interpretation was
evident only great musicians can muster.
The reception
commenced around 7pm with that expensive fireworks display despite
the evening rain. The fun fare lasted for more than 10 minutes enough
to satisfy the curious provencal eyes.
Dinner was served
hand-in-hand with music entertainment first by Augustine Music doing
the favored songs and music of the groom for he chose most of the
wedding music. It was also delightful hearing him sing when they were
introduced. He serenaded his wife with an old standard romantic love
song that spoke of his true love to a Filipina wife.
As
alternate, acoustic trio from the bride's side did some numbers
making us feel relaxed as dinner reception was ongoing.
One
highlight of the wedding reception was when the groom changed from
his tuxedo to a barong and sang a popular Tagalog song. Obviously, he
rehearsed the love song. He sang it wonderfully like a Filipino
loving his roots. Such a display of special gesture from Derek making
Elsa shed a tear.
The wedding of a foreigner and a Filipina
amidst the backdrop of seawall at Sofitel with splashes of waves
coming from the distant seashore as beautiful music rendered by
Philippine musicians made a foreign visitor proud marrying a
Filipina.
