Two of hubby's workshoppers from his acting class, Maricar and Gino -- fell in love and decided to get married in the beautiful island of Boracay. Since their wedding was in January (two days after New Year's day), I had to reserve plane tickets and hotel rooms way in advance.
The only downside of hosting a destination wedding so close to the holidays? Very few guests. But then, an intimate wedding isn't at all that bad. Hubby and I decided to bring the kids along and make it a family vacation as well.
We arrived a day before the wedding and spent time on the beach, the restaurants and stores. We even rode a buggy around the island, and my teenage son rode the zipline for the first time.
It was a bit overcast, which made the ceremony weather more bearable. :-)

The art of making sand castles has become a source of livelihood for some residents of Boracay.
The couple chose Sea Wind for their ceremony and reception venue.

Finally, I was able to wear my wedding-themed flip flops! :-)
Gino and Maricar, who are both aspiring actors, chose wedding decor with details associated with film-making. They even served popcorn for cocktails :-)
A wishing well for the newlyweds.
Congratulations Gino and Maricar!
