It
was an early afternoon wedding with the sun still blazing as they set
for the reception around 4 pm. The ceremony would be at 2 pm at the
Paco Park Chapel - one special wedding destination. We were around 12 noon timely to set up the sound
system amidst a warm early afternoon reception.
The
ceremony started at exactly 2 pm and during the bridal march the
bride walked from the fountain to the small quaint chapel that speaks
of solemnity and simplicity. They had around 120 guests that almost
filled the chapel. To add the beauty of the ceremony, we performed
their music choices. They opted for a pianist and a vocalist enough
to fill the place with clean crisp music fit for an elegantly simple
wedding celebration.
The
ceremony took for more than an hour with pictorials that went for 15
minutes suffice to have everybody concerned with their photo shoots.
There was another wedding to follow that crowded the chapel's
entrance preparing for their scheduled wedding.
The
couple still had their photo shoots around Paco Park, a beautiful
place surrounded with tall old stone walls that remained intact for
so many years and one nice tourist spot to boost because of its
Hispanic antiquity. The reason why weddings are held there for it
offers a romantic feel unmatched.
Not
to make the guests weary and restless, around past 4 pm I initiated
the start of the celebration for some spiels to let the couple
enjoying their photo sessions end the round. And they felt their
guests were waiting so the wedding program began.
I
noticed, too about the color they chose as their motif was something
to think about. A combination of flaming red and sparkling gold add
glitter for the afternoon affair. It added vibrancy and the guests
had their laughs and smiling demeanor as they went about their early
dinner.
The
thing that made me remember their wedding was the kindness they
shared and appreciation given to us performers. This was more than a
bonus for the experience shared with genuine people remains.
