GabRel’s Forever

 

Oh, the love in their eyes!  Gabriel and Reloufe finally tied the knot last Saturday at Gango Catholic Church.  I still quite remember the first time Reloufe told me about a budding romance with her thesis critique who was Gabriel 3 years ago when we were still colleagues in Chinese School.  Back then, Reloufe kept it secret from our other colleagues who were also her schoolmates in college for pwera usog ‘coz they all know Gabriel.  It was the month of August when they started meeting to hear mass at the Cathedral and every Monday, Reloufe’s eyes got glitters!  Until after a very long weekend of August 2012, Ipyang showed me a sort-of promise ring (for she still didn’t consider it as a “big” thing yet) on a Monday from Gab.  And that paved the way to their forever! <3
 
 
The wedding ceremony was flawlessly solemn being witnessed by Ninongs and Ninangs who were mostly from La Salle University with Br. Jimmy Dalumpines, president of the institution.  The manpower behind the wedding’s coordination was mostly a circle of LSU talents too.  To name a few, Sarah Engcoy for the invites, Arnel Lomocso and Rodette for the lovely set-up, Foto Crime Lab for videography and photography, Javaphoto Booth for the fun shots, and Manet Tabaculde for the over-all package!  I enjoyed the wedding banquet which was held at Coco’s Island Resort in Clarin for the program was not a bore, all guests were properly seated, and everybody was accommodated very well.  The pretty cake was Jack-Jack Soledad‘s of Hamlet, Maningcol by the way.
 
 
When in weddings, we get to catch up with people we seldom see.  Here are photos of our previous Chinese School student, Mary and little brother Ben who were both part of the entourage.  Of course, I was also with my kikay bestie whom I always enjoy ootd’ing and selfie-ing much!
 
 
Again, thank you so much for making us part of your big day, Gabby and Ipyang!  Congratulations and best wishes to both of you!  May God bless your union more and more as you start a family of your own.  Keep the love and fire burning as you work out your forever!  Looking forward to little Gab’s and Ipyang’s the soonest!  Hehe…..
 
 
And what’s in a wedding without the poses?  Here are snapshots of my vainest part, the #DakilangTigAttend!
 
 
Then Kring2x gave birth to a new hashtag for me, #tosomweddings!  So more weddings to come, blog readers! 🙂

Mary Rosalie Olandesca, a lover of the arts, humanities, and social sciences, found herself entangled in the realm of applied science and engineering, a path that didn't align with her true passions.
