Pepato is one of my most favorite restaurants! Most of the dishes being catered by Cibo are from the menu of Pepato. YUMMY! I like the fact that you can order tasting portions of the pasta so you can have small portions and not have to eat the whole order. Now that I am looking at my photos, i want to go back again!
Thank you Jigger and May for making us part of your wedding…. We would never have missed it for anything. We will never ever forget this special occassion and we will be your friends forever! Congratulations and Best wishes! We love you!
We had some time to meet up for lunch with our good friend Gil and soon to be bride Christine, who were in Boracay over the weekend. It was so nice to see them. We had lunch in Lemon Cafe which was also in the recommended list of Jigger and May. We had a light lunch since we knew we had another big event that evening.
With all that partying and photo taking, the following day we went to D’Mall and as soon as we saw the word “SPA”, we just entered and had our foot spas and relaxed……. I was really tired from standing and going all around the place taking photos…this was the perfect remedy :-)
The night was not over yet, After the wedding reception was a party.
I was not able to take photos of the party but I took shots of the set up before the party since we tagged along with Jigger. He is really on top of everything. It is amazing how they converted Tides into the party venue.
We bumped into the dancers that Jigger flew in all the way from Embassy, Manila. All dancers were all happy to see Jigger upon their arrival
As everyone knows, I am not one to party late at night but I made sure I went to see the world famous David Morales perform. It was a great party! Even Tito Joey and Tita Hilda came over and danced with David on stage.
We now call David, David Morales- Antonio. He became so close to Jigger and his family and it was so nice how he expressed his love and appreciation to the family. Not only was he the DJ who performed but he became family and a good friend to many…
It’s amazing how the series of events happened one after the other…all so well organized and so elegantly done. Jigger covered every single detail of his wedding just as he would at work. From the church was cocktails then the reception. It was a difficult task for me since there were just so many details and beautiful moments to capture. I could not stop and go all over the place. Even the food, there was an abundance of choices.
The reception did not end after eating dinner, the highlight for us was the program they had which showed the videos which were very unique. Instead of the usual video about the couple, the couple prepared a beautiful video dedicated to their parents. Then another video, Wedding by the Ocean’s, which was such a creative presentation. After which were the speeches by friends and family which were truly touching and so emotional that we were in tears and I am sure the others too. We could go on and on listening to all of them.
This wedding proves that what makes a beautiful wedding is not only the beautiful decor and the food, but the feeling you get and the love that you feel between the couple and among all their friends and family. The overall experience of a beautiful wedding and the emotions that it brought out…We will never forget this day.
Heart2Heart admires Jason Magbanua and the work that he does…As I interpret events through photos, he does it through video which is so amazing! Here is the preview of the video he made for Jigger and May
It was going to be a grand three-day celebration the likes of which Boracay Island has never seen - the couple’s birthday celebration on Friday, the wedding on Sat and an island cruise and Luau the day after.
And if that weren’t enough, David Morales flew in to play at the after-party. And what an event that was! It lasted until daybreak (me getting old, I haven’t partied like that since Ken Ishi and Tricky in the late 90s).
One look and the adjectives that come to mind easily would be “grandiose” and “extravagant”. But as an attendee, I felt it to be a really special celebration amongst family and friends. The speeches were heartfelt and the marriage vows deeply moving.
At the core of it all, amidst the trappings, here were two people proclaiming commitment.
