The Lacson-Carlos WeddingOn February 26, 2005 I gained myself a brand new brother. Not a baby brother, but a fully grown 33-year old that is Kuya Nicky.
It was a truly exciting and wonderful wedding. The flowers were beautiful; the singing was fantastic (never mind the soft microphones of good ol' San Antonio); the people present were nothing short of supportive and loving; the food was great; the groom was in his most emotional yet playful and good-looking self; and the bride, Ate Pebs, was simply magnificent ... THE bride of brides.
On that glorious day, Mommy was there draped in brown and white butterfly wings. When illumined by light, she glowed with a tint of aqua, the motif of the wedding. How did she do that? God knows. She made her presence felt to all those present that day.
The program flow was great, although Bam and I were really nervous. But we pulled through. People told us that our gowns were beautiful and we looked great, and sang well, and we felt good because of that.
There was dancing and more dancing. The band played nice songs and well.
Everything was fun, probably the most fun wedding for most present. To name a few of fun moments, that I can easily write down here without having to elaborate:
1. Regina danced with much bravado and stayed up til 3:30 along with the rest of us.
2. Wappy was the "dakilang D.I." for all the girl cousins - as usual.
3. Anna could have been proclaimed "Ms. Congeniality" with her "let's mingle with the others" and followed through by making friends with Kuya Nicky's cousins our age.
4. Macie "stole the show" - even while Ate looked nice in her wedding gown and all cameras were on her like the paparazzi, Macie had an equal amount of attention and cameras on her.
5. Eyes were also on Ria who looked like a super model.
6. Ate sang the offertory song with us during the wedding which really surprised Kuya Nicky.
7. And she sang again during the reception which made Kuya Nicky turn really red.
8. The newlyweds danced the Tango which had everyone clapping and smiling.
9. The siblings (Stephen, Bam, and me) number had everyone impressed by the family talent. Fyi, Kuya would have played the kahon had Macie not woken up from her sleep with a nightmare.
10. Regina played with the band's bonggo set with Stephen and Paolo (Kuya Nicky's brother and cousin) while "flirting" with them. Scary child!
There's actually a lot more that I can't find words to write about. All I can say is that it was a truly fantastic wedding.
