The very
first thing that caught my awe was the warm accommodation granted by
the personnel of Weddings and Beyond during the ingress of suppliers
a night prior to the bridal exhibit that began past 9 in the evening.
They were distinguishable in their rose color uniforms matching the
smiles on their faces that made us comfortable despite the heat felt
at the PICC forum. Comparably speaking, the last bridal fair I joined
with didn't match a certain character even their name bloats in the
air.
Coming in
past 10 in the morning, a huge spread of suppliers with resplendent
displays made my day. And guests were coming in droves from near and
far. Almost all top suppliers were around to show their works of art
and expertise to my delight unknowingly that all exhibitors have that
gift of creations and vast artistry in any field. Some exhibitors got
bigger booths because their extensive materials had to be spread out
for guests to appreciate and crave for. More got the ideal sizes for
the purpose of being a part of the big affair by Weddings and Beyond.
I had fun
handing out my printed materials with genuine smile on my face and
able to talk to some guests asking prices for out-of-town-services.
Many came from the provinces to explore a wide range of wedding and
debut needs. I observed that many will be wed in Tagayatay and others
parts of Batangas. Yes, they drove to Manila to discover their needs
and they were not dismayed. Everything they wanted was around and for
sure they went back home with ease on their minds because they've
found what they really wanted and discoveries.
The sad
part was exceptional wedding musicians of Augustine Music and Events
were not able to showcase their artistry on stage because of previous
wedding booking that needed their presence and sadly regretted
because Regine of Weddings and Beyond wanted us to perform and if
only I had the nerve to perform solo being a vocalist but wanted a
back-up musicians to be more effective for such a command
performance. Anyway, I enjoyed listening to some but enjoyed the
crowd more.
Well, the
organizer of the event has other exhibitions in the coming months and
I just want to express my delight for that sincere task to help
wedding and debut suppliers expand their horizons and I know I can,
too. What can I say but the old cliché – CONGRATULATIONS AND MORE
POWER!
