a point-and-shoot in a 777 wedding

july 7, 2007 or simply 777 was a very, very busy day for those in the wedding industry. i don’t know if it’s numerology or something else but there’s something about the number 7 and its repetition that appealed to A LOT of couples… and we were guests to one of them. 🙂

both of us have known grace for quite a while already. college pa lang, kilala na ni selle c grace. their both mapuans and not only that, their both chemical engineers also. a batch higher nga lang c selle. ako naman, i’ve known grace since she started working here. we used to be departmentmates up until around 3 years ago. kaya naman we’re so blessed to have been invited to her 777 wedding.

during the early part of their preps, we did share our notes and experiences with grace. lalo na kasi noong umpisa, gusto din nila sa tagaytay sana… just like us. their plans changed though and they finally settled for manila hotel. ang yaman, no? 😉

come to think of it, this would be the first hotel wedding reception we’ll be attending. all the other weddings we’ve attended held their receptions at gardens, clubhouses or restaurants. kaya naman this was a new experience for us. sit-down dinner to kaya no standing in line at the buffet table. 😀

weddings are really nice because of the love and the emotion it encapsulates. and this 777 wedding, definitely had it. thanks grace & jc for inviting us… it was an honor witnessing your union. 🙂


we were first to arrive at the church and i immediately took this aisle shot. nice thing about churches are the structures and stained glasses.


jc, the groom, with the male entourage. got to chat with jc for a short while and he admitted na hindi daw sya naka2log the night before. sabi pa nga nya, “ganun ba talaga yun?” inisip ko lang na i might not be the right person to ask that because sa aga naman ng kasal namin, talagang d ako naka2log. 😆


guests, armed with their cameras, eagerly awaiting for that perfect shot.


the church doors open and there stands the bride. what makes this even more dramatic was the backdrop of rain. bigla kasi umulan nun, eh. if only i had a videocam… or if only my camera could zoom more. dslr… dslr… dslr… 🙂


the exchange of vows. ang daya naman ni grace, eh… hindi umiyak. 🙂


the grandeur of manila hotel.


that’s us! 🙂 if you take a closer look at the picture, grace has his new cellphone right on their table, just under her pouch. naka-box pa. the very same fone we blogged about. 🙂


ah, yes, our drivers. 😆 just joking. our ofcmates who drove us all the way home from manila hotel. God bless you hearts, yane & ruby. so, kelan na? 8-8-8? 9-9-9? 10-10-10? 8-9-10? 😉
