We headed for Canyon Woods Resort for our afternoon wedding servicing. Upon reaching Tagaytay City, we realized that the weather isn't going to be as nice and friendly. We arrive at the villa fifteen minutes earlier than the expected call time for us which was two hours before marching time. We got inside the villa where the bride, Ana was having her make-up done along with the female entourage and some relatives. Indeed a villa but I realized there were just too many people inside that I decided to stay outside at the front door for the meantime. I saw the groom's mom, Doris which happens to be a friend and invited us to see how the reception clubhouse were being prepared and decorated. I asked Archie, a friend who joined us to observe the two weddings we have for the day as he himself hopes to be in the industry soon as a wedding planner and coordinator to come with us to the clubhouse. The walls of the hall comprised of sliding glass door panels. But what an innovation they did with the glass panels. Since Danny Jr. is in the printing business like his mom, they put a bigger than life size photo stickers of them (Danny Jr and Ana) covering almost an entire size of the glass panel and appeared like a glass stain of portraits. Amazing! I said to the groom that maybe after his wedding, he could introduce this concept to other couples for their wedding. After that we decided to go back to Ana's villa where I left my assistant Paulo and two female staff of mine, Glecy and Lani. After a while, we realized time was running out and the make-up work was causing delays. The rains were really pushing their way through. Unbelievable! The rain tamed a bit and gave all of us the chance to get to our cars. The ceremony will be just within the resort complex and is supposedly to start in five minutes. The rain poured even harder this time as we arrived at the ceremony venue and its was like each and every guest of the wedding had to be individually escorted with an umbrella walking to a three levelled landing of the chapel's facade staircase upwards. Well no one was spared from getting wet at least. Ana can't even immediately get out from her bridal car and head for the chapel's landing step. We had to wait for a moment but to no avail. At least four people with huge umbrellas along with my driver and staff had to accompany her up the chapel just to make sure that her wedding gown does not get wet nor soiled. The rains poured even harder this time. As I said to myself as a traditional saying goes like "Its goodluck when it rains on your wedding day", I guess there will be too many blessings to come in as the rains vanishes the view along with the fog. The march had commenced when Ana got to initial post and eventually marched the aisle wtih her mom and Uncle. We definitely managed not to get her wet. The chapel was full of guests despite the rain. As soon as Danny and Ana assumed their post at the altar, For the last time, I asked my staff to make sure that Ana's gown, veil and detachable train be laid out properly. After which we began to head for home and traffic was the last ordeal.
