Another wedding, another young couple embarking upon a life together. Our friends the bride’s parents are justifiably proud. The ceremony, conducted by a Filipino priest with a sense of humor, went smoothly. The singing in church was uplifting. The bridegroom is Filipino-American, and his family adhered faithfully to the Catholic traditions of the old country: the veil, the cord, the lighting of candles, the gathering of relatives who blessed the couple kneeling at the altar. At the reception, a round of speeches, of which the bride’s father’s was brief, to the point, and affectionate.
With many relatives and friends attending on a beautiful but breezy day, charming company at dinner, and the happiness displayed by the newlyweds, not even the closure of the Bay Bridge over this holiday weekend could do much to dampen the spirits.
A compendium of images - most original, some not - words, and links, sometimes musical, gathered for the exclusive enjoyment of friends and relatives, some old, and some new.
