Cheers to Jason and Abi!

December 18 marks the 1st wedding anniversary of my good friend from college, Jason and his pretty wife, Abigael. They tied the knot, sans their loving folks, in Canberra, Australia last year. It was a nice and warm Thursday afternoon when they renewed their vows at the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros. Now, the parents, with some family and friends, witnessed the exciting event.

Yes, I was chosen as a secondary sponsor (doing the veil). Thanks to Edward for the very nice barong tagalog ... that saved my day!
The wedding ceremony was very solemn and heart-melting. There was too much love in the air!

After the wedding, we went straight to Manila Hotel, Maynila Ballroom for the reception. Hats off to the couple and the organizer ... everything fell under good taste, from the overall look of the place, down to the table presentation and wedding banquet itself.

During dinner, an audio-visual presentation (AVP) was shown and I admit, it was a very touching one (even Abi couldn't help but shed some tears). The ceremony that day itself was showcased on that presentation ... pretty fast job (and fab, as well) by the Wally Gonzales Photography Group.
Of course, Adel and I were uber starving that time. Thank God for the wonderful food they served.

There were too much appetizers to choose from ... but I love the Shrimp and Mango Salad and the Italian deli. On my second plate, I had the Pork Medallion, Seafood Penne, Smoked Salmon Steak, Roast Beef, Chicken with Mushroom Sauce and Vegetable Medley. Haay calories galore! Oh and the dessert plate? Fresh Fruits, Leche Flan and Creme Puffs. And my favorite? Pistachio Mousse.
To Jason and Abi, cheers to your long-lasting relationship! :-P
