May's Morning Event ( Manalo - Ostaco Wedding, May 28, 2008)





Benjie and Mayette are tying the knot today to formalized their religious wedding vows in the Holy sacrament of Matrimony. Both based in Singapore, they were recomended by a good friend Vincent "Bing" Ramiscal a professional photographer here in Manila but was staying in Singapore at that time. It was Benjie who came here months back to prepare for their wedding and got the priveledge of being his chosen designer for their wedding. As we noted how detailed Benjie was, we made sure that his concerns are addressed and e-mails responded. My assistant Paulo have always been in charge with e-mail follow-ups with clients. Of course endorsements are made daily which keeps me abreast of client follow-ups and developments. I appreciated Benjie's being a realistic client in the sense that he listens to suggestions and appreciates our effort in doing all the follow-ups necessary. Me and my staff arrived at 8:00 in the morning at the Makati Shangri-la room 1425 where they were staying. Eventual reception will also be held in the Hotel. Life's Celebration lead by Ruby Alvarez was their coordinator as well as their florist. It was great to be working side by side again with a long time friend Eddie Bruan and his staff composed of Norman and Marina who did the hair and make-up of the bride and the entourage. Card Prints did the weddding invites. Paul Vincent Photography was taking care of the photography with Shierdan Pamintuan doing video capturing. Everything went on as scheduled. Departing the hotel headed for the Manila Metropolitan Cathedral in Intramuros was a long drive but we all managed the inconvenient slow traffic flow assisted by police escorts.
Benjie and Mayette rode in a six-door Mercedez Benz limousine from Trans-Abi. Everything fell into places. At leasts for the dresses. I'm pretty confident Benjie and Mayette did the right choice of suppliers for their wedding.
