It was time to leave at 4:45 am, the rain was pouring hard and I can hear the swoosh of the wind as I drove out of our garage. When I reached the bride’s home at 5:30 am, the lights were all on and a lot of people were already moving around. It was, after all, the big day of the youngest of five siblings and the last one to get married. As the sister of the bride said-- “Sarado na ang tindahan ng mga Icasas.”
At the other side of Alabang, the groom woke up early and rarely got enough sleep. He and his family were being photographed at 4:30 am, while the rest of the country was still sleeping. It was hard to convince the groom to wake up that early, but he did-- for his soon to be wife.
To dear JV and Kristine, we would like to thank you for simply letting us be a part of your simple, beautiful, heartfelt, morning wedding. Witnessing the roundabouts of Kristine’s family the whole morning and the smiles and laughter of JV’s family throughout the day, we just knew where you both got your simple, happy and loving disposition.
It was a great experience getting to know you both. You are such an inspiration to us. To Kristine, who inspired me to roll pieces of paper, I know you will be a great wife and mother! Good luck on your cooking! And to JV, who travels all the way from San Juan to Alabang, I’m sure you’ll be a wonderful partner and head of the family.
We know that with the guidance of your loving families, supportive friends and with God by your side, you will have a rock-solid marriage and a wonderful family of your own.
May God bless you both! Keep on making each other laugh.
All our best,
Empire Weddings
