My Adventure-- A Wonderful Wedding

It's amazing how different a Filipino Tradition type of wedding is compared to one here in Canada. It' obviously a big investment... but there is so much more people involved. I guess because families in the Philippines are a lot larger than here (or at least my family that is).

Celebrating a Filipino wedding was a true experience.  My aunt was beautiful when she was getting ready for her big day. Everyone from the crack of early dawn, people were rushing around everywhere getting ready. There were a lot of us too. Let's just say... 7 uncles and 2 aunts on my mom side... you can definitely calculate the math as to how big my family is.

Most of them were in the wedding... either as bridesmaids, flower girls, flower boys and groomsmen. It was absolutely crazy... but a fun and memorable night. The reception was at an amazing venue with a swimming pool in front of the newlyweds. A color themed blue and chair covered with special catering services.

To be celebrating such an eventful day/night with my family -- Immediate and extended was wonderful because we never get to see each other on a daily basis. Just having them and a bunch of friends from the neighborhood to celebrate a wedding was great.

To end off the night.. And to please the happy drinkers who were drunk, the karaoke machine was brought out and everyone would sing till the next crack of dawn in the morning. Amazing yet tiring but super fun and memorable that night was.
