Almabelle and Stephen both based in Singapore came home for their wedding. Exchange of vows at the St. John Bosco Parish and the reception which followed at the Peninsula Manila. Arriving two and a half hours before the ceremony, Almabelle dressed up exactly two hours before marching time. The bridal suite which appeared like connecting rooms to me was an ideal place for the bride's preparation area. The second team of John Ong of Imagine Nation was doing the photography and videography I guess. Likewise, the second team of Madge Lejano's make-up studio was present for the hair and make-up preparations. It was a relaxed afternoon for Almabelle and not a bit showing of intensity nor stress from excitement. The bride's mom was with us relaxed and jolly and appreciated the well-fitted gown we made for her. She stood out on that occassion. I'm very certain.
At the church upon our arrival, we were greeted by the ever diplomatic and smiling Father of the groom. I think we did everything as requested by the nice and wonderful bride. The groom was likewise levelled, cordial and pleasant. There was just an overwhelming insistence on the mother of the groom's concerns about the female entourage designs and level of contentment. The issue of attire decency was on its peak. The good-natured bride just went on managing the situation along with the mother of the groom's persistence. No I don't feel sorry for Almabelle. I admire Almabelle's maturity and understanding. As they say, "its poise under pressure" . I thought it will be an ordeal with the mother of the bride as the usual circumstance. It turned out to be the other way around. It was manageable anyhow. My best wishes to the couple! CHEERS!
