We are back to blogging and have so much to share!

Just after dad got back from Vegas, he joined Melissa and Enrique for their wedding at the Lake Mary Events Center.  We love this location!  The couple had a lakeside ceremony before their reception in the rotunda.  There was a violinist playing beautiful music during the ceremony and a harpist joined her for the reception.  In a Filipino wedding, it is tradition for the groom to present wedding coins to the bride as a symbol of prosperity for their future family.  They also included the veil ceremony where a veil is draped and pinned on the couple to show two people clothed as one.  Melissa and Enrique had a cocktail party style reception and their guests enjoyed visiting with one another and sharing their congratulations with the newlyweds.

Melissa and Enrique, thanks for having dad there to share your day!  Mabuhay!!

It was very windy during the ceremony, so Melissa and Enrique did a symbolic lighting of the unity candle 🙂
