to me, this was probably last year's best wedding in the Philippines... (sorry mar & korina) 

Celebrity couple Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo wed yesterday morning and surprised everyone with a ceremony at the San Juan de Nepomuceno Church at San Juan, Batangas.

The ceremony started at 7 A.M., and by 7:20 P.M., they were pronounced husband and wife. The couple wanted to have a breakfast of tapsilog after the ceremony outside the church, but since they couldn’t at the moment, opted to go to a nearby resort for a breakfast. A reception was held during lunchtime for guests.

All preparations regarding Judy Ann and Ryan’s wedding were kept hush-hush. It had been speculated that they will wed May 2nd. Guests reportedly received an invitation stating ““Eto na. Inuman na. Punta kang nakaputi.” The invitation came with 1/2 of a flipflop pair; the other half the guest will collect at the venue.

... more coming...

who missed last year's mar roxas-korina sanchez wedding?
well, i didn't... sad though that they waited for so long before tying up the knot.

"Korina has always been very clear about how she wanted her dream wedding to be: a showcase of the Philippines’ best. That’s why it was not difficult to take her cue. Mar, on the other hand, just wanted everything to flow well with the “people’s wedding” theme always in mind.  Since the menu for the reception and the execution of the flowers were my main responsibilities, I lost no time sourcing the best, most interesting (some even undiscovered) local artisan produce from all over the country.", writes Margarita A. Fores at Philstar.

A color palette of piña, ecru, ivory, beige, moving to tan, mocha, khaki, cinnamon, raw sienna and brown, then finally ending in the cool shades of dove gray, platinum and anthracite; Filipino stripes and patadyong plaids, as well as delicate embroidery and point d’esprit added texture to their attires.

Korina’s and Gino’s design for turn-of-the-century-inspired flowers at the church, with old-style Filipino rosal, sampaguita, homegrown Japanese lilies, camia clusters, paper roses and Baguio roses allowed for the perfect scale when juxtaposed against the imposing scale of the church.

The sweet kakanin passed around in native bilao and woven trays consisted of Silay senoritas, galletas and bañadas from Negros, pili macaroons from Cely Montelibano and mini bukayo from Lolinia Juarez, from the Ma-ao market.

And the rest of the wedding and salu-salo is history.
