The Singapore Duo ( Cabantog - Chua Wedding, October 20, 2007)



Rose Anne has commissioned my services as early as the first quarter of this year. Based in Singapore along with his fiancee Bob working in an IT company. As the saying goes, "Your time will always come". Indeed it did as we arrived at the EDSA Shangri-la Hotel where Anne was on room 1248 of the garden wing building of the hotel. I realized it was a connecting room packed with suppliers, relatives and friends. We're early by just half an hour of the usual two hours before the ceremony time arrangement. As I tried to cross the connecting door of the rooms, I immediately saw Jackie Rivera doing the hair and make up of Anne. Teddy Manuel was their supplier for the flowers. Queenie David of "Just Like Ours" lead her group of male and female coordinators busy seeing to it that everything is in place and in cue. The exchange of vows was to take place at the impressive Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Quezon City with reception to follow at the Oasis Pavilion. Printed Matter supplied the invitations which is noted for its non-traditional format.

The bridal march was emotional more so with Anne as she was approaching the half-way of the aisle to meet her folks. I instructed my staff to fix Anne's train as soon as she reaches the altar steps commencing the ceremony. A solemn undertaking indeed!
