Engineers on the March ( Jallorina - Macutay Wedding, May 26, 2007)




It was a gloomy day passing thru the skyway of the SLEX enroute to Bellevue Hotel. But not for Erwin and Sabrina who's up to exchanging their wedding vows today. I think the weather was just fine, breezy and not humid. A bit of drizzling though but not enough to give us inconveniences. As the saying goes "lots of blessings when it rains". Two hours before her wedding march, we arrived at room 1014 where Sab was dressing . To our surprise she was already dressed up. We noticed the petticoat dislocation and requested that my staff fix the fitting. Ariel Javelosa Photography, Tropical Blooms for the flowers, Eddie Bruan for the bride and her entourage's hair and make-up and Events Experts team headed by Jody Liwanag to run the entire event was her pool of suppliers working side by side ensuring the swift undertaking from the hotel to the church and onwards to the reception.

Erwin and Sabrina are exchanging vows at the Greenhills Fellowship Church in Alabang and Alabang Country Club for the reception. Bernie Pasamba was providing the musical score of the ceremony. Of course we were with her till her landing on the church's doorstep prior to marching taking care her final look. I'ved felt Sabrina's sincere appreciation of my our work in her wedding gown along with her entourage's dresses as well as the mom's.


Erwin and Sab are such easy couple to work with. At the end of the day, its not always about the amount of money that you gained but the expression of appreciation and satisfaction for your efforts and creativity.
