Kakay texted me and asked if I can coordinate her wedding. You see, Kakay was a friend from high school so it should have been an easy yes. Then she told me that her wedding was on the first day of September, I glitched and just thought, this is a first and this is a blessing. She was getting married on my birthday.

I never saw Kakay after our graduation since we went our separate ways, but seeing her again during our first meeting felt like we were back in high school. She was as pretty as I remembered. And during her wedding day, she was as lovely as you could wish for a bride. I’m sure Ryan felt the same way.

To Ryan and Kakay, and to the whole family, thank you for always welcoming us with dinner and Contis' cake everytime we meet in your home. You have a great big family and we were lucky to have been part of such a wonderful occasion. I am sure the both of you are so excited to start your wonderful journey ahead, and with little baba on the way, everything will just be as crazy and fun.

All our best,

Empire Weddings

JV and Kristine Velez

Ceremony // St. James the Great Parish
Reception // Palm’s Country Club
Photographer // Ian Santillan
Videographer // Halo Media

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
