A Mountain View, A Golf Course, A Wedding.... ( Recto - Katigbak Wedding, October 7, 2006)


We were on the road at 8:30 am bound for SLEX. Destination: Mount Malarayat Golf & Country Club in Lipa Batangas. Passing thru the entrance gate gave me quite a remarkable impression of the place. I was informed by the reservations manager, Ms. Connie Macasaet that the entire area covers 200 hectares.
We went straight to room 203 at the country club where the bride was billeted. Hair and make-up artist Jackie Rivera was doing the bride, Dr. Ave. Within 15 minutes, videographer Jason Magbanua arrived and then Alan Borras of Passion Photography was next. Wylma Vittali of Events Network was likewise there when we came in. My staff started to set up the wedding gown in the body form and worked with the steam presser to refurbish the gown. One of my commitments I would say is that to make sure that the bride gets to dress up in a clean, crisp and crease free wedding gown. We don't mind bringing in apparel aids for grooming just too make sure that the bride appears real neat and beautiful. I got thee chance to see and read their simple but elegantly crafted invitation card in white made by Noky Dungo-Gatmaitan of Printsonalities.

I temporarily stayed in the clubhouse lobby and saw Rosie de Vera of Flowers and Foliage arriving from the San Sebastian Cathedral for the Church's floral decoration.
At 1:45 pm, we proceeded to the Church for the wedding ceremony scheduled at 2:30pm and saw the groom, Dr. Danny amongst his guests. The wedding march commenced on the dot. After the bride's march I had Jackie Rivera brought back to the reception venue to retouch the bride's make-up before the banquet proper. I sneaked into the ballroom to see the decorations. Awesome! The wedding cake was likewise interesting made by Claycakes. It had an animated figure of a anesthesiologist groom, a pediatrican bride along with different images of candidly positioned medical doctor images all over a fondant, three tiered wedding cake in light yellow.
