It's in the Paper!!!

Last Saturday, the kids and I tagged along with Mama and Papa and went to their Eastland abode. While Papa was about to park the car, Sunstar's Joshua Cabrera, our neighbor, was so excited as he called on to Papa, " 'Nong Jorge, pagpalit ug SunStar kay naa si Frances sa SunStar Weekend page 4.Kung wala kay copy kay ako ihatag ang ako complimentary copy." Hahaha, as in, ana ka detailed ang info ni Joshua. So off we went to buy the newspaper. And true enough, she was first in line among the flowergirls. It really was in page FOUR in the Weekend Section. This was one of the wedding pictures taken by my brother, Rene, during Dennis and Mawen's wedding in December of 2006. Mawen happens to be Joshua's only sister. Since last Saturday was the last Day of June, a month for most brides marching down the aisle, the SunStar article was, of course, about weddings. I can still remember the preparations we did for the wedding. Imagine, I was only given one week before the wedding to prepare the invitation, contact the caterer, ready myself to be the hostess, and take care of the program. The whole Enriquez family was in full force during the big day. My brother Rene and sis-in law, Jolana took care of the wedding photography, free of charge ha?; Mama and Papa were one of the principal sponsors; Frances was one of the flowergirls; and yours truly was the program hostess. Not to mention that Mama had to make their wedding cake upon learning the night before the wedding that they still don't have a wedding cake, hehehe. So that's the reason why her wedding landed on the local daily for having spent a minimal amount of Php 25,000.00 pesos with 50 guests and reception held at the Eastland Clubhouse. It wasn't a grand wedding, so to say, but one of the best weddings I have ever attended so far. For the reason that it was a very intimate one, with only their family, and close friends witnessing their "I do's" and that "Bayanihan" spirit proved to still exist inspite of the modern world we live in. Everyone in the neighborhood worked hard to make this event possible within just one week preparation,it did happen, and I'm so glad I was part of its success! As in hurray for our teamwork!

And here's our little girl in her one-day-featured-photo in the daily, hehehe...you made mama and papa soooo proud!!!
