the big day.

it was my cousin's wedding at the fernwood gardens, qc.

it was such a long day. i went to the office at 1am to attend the christmas party of our program. and i went home at 4am. actually not home. i went to EDSA Shangrila where my family an relatives plus the bride and the groom are checked in for the big day. i felt kinda awkward to get inside the hotel because this is a five star hotel and i dont normally get inside this kind of high end hotels. dum.dum.dum.. nervousness. it was my first time to enter EDSA Shang hotel. a hotel crew accompanied me upto the 7th floor where the room was located. great. i still have time to sleep. knock.knock.knock. no one answered. grrrr... everyone's asleep. then the hotel crew called the room extension. luckily, dianne (cousin SYD's gf) was up and she opened the door. and that was the start of the day..

we dressed up and took pictures and went to fernwoods which was like an hour drive from Manda. everyone was there. relatives, cousins, friends.. the bride and groom's friends. the wedding was supposed to start at 8:15 in the morning. i know it was too early. that was why we were cramming because it was almost 5 in the morning when everyone started to wake up and took a bath and dressed up. hahaha.. you cant imagine how panicking we were.

the bride arrived late. almost 20 minutes before 9 in the morning so the wedding ceremony was kinda fast forward. like the officiating priest even said, "we're gonna make it faster because we're late in the schedule. i thought you changed your mind and you're not gonna come" (he's referring to the bride.)

the wedding ceremony ended so fast but since me and my cousins havent had anything since the day started, we were starving and we wanted it to finish so fast. hahaha. good thing the bride arrived late. hahaha. not that i was wishing that she came late. no! you should have seen my cousin's face. i have known him since we were little so i knew how frustrated and angry he was. like he didnt spent 2-m php just to be abandoned on a church full of friends and families. i know he was iritated like he was just trying to smile to show everyone that it was ok and the bride's gonna come.

the reception started so late that everyone was starving. it was like the weding was so early, and a lot of of relatives came from Laguna which is a 2-hr drive, oh lets make it 3 since the fernwoo was all the way up north manila.

the wedding was fine after all. there was this souvenir photobooth that was jammed pack. i swear it was blockbuster.

after the wedding we went home to laguna. we rode on a bus that my cousin rented for everyone from Bicol area.

we were tired. i was tired. i supposed to come to a christmas party for my org (Twilight Coven Philippines) but since i was dead tired. i never got the chance to come. a missed opportunity to see my co-twihards. tsk.

i promised, im not gonna be late on my wedding day.
