Wedding Ceremony

We have a church wedding at San Agustin Church located at Gen. Luna St. Intramuros Manila. We had blend the Filipino and Chinese style of wedding. We had consulted Fung Shui expert regarding the exact date and time of the wedding. The use of principal and secondary sponsors in our wedding ceremonies is the traditional approach. The principal sponsors are equivalent to our godparents, who provide lifetime support and guidance to the newlyweds. Secondary sponsors, consisting of candle, veil and cord sponsors, participate in rituals that symbolize love, unity and understanding." We had a tea ceremony after the wedding,and that is a Chinese tradition.

The Entourage

It will be as big as possible. We have 6 pairs of principal sponsors, best man, maid of honor, 3 pairs of groomsmen & bridesmaid, secondary sponsors (candle, veil and cord), a pair of junior groomsman & bridesmaid, 2 flower girls, and ring and coin bearer.
