NOTE: I’m making a series of blogs narrating the events last year that led to our wedding on December 22, 2007. I’m making this to share to others and for me and my wife to always remember how we became hitched to each other. This is the eight blog in the series.

Since it is Christmas season when we married,  we decided to spend our honeymoon with/near our families.

We were supposed to spend our first night as married couple at the place of the reception (El Manuel Hotel and Convention Center) but due to a misunderstanding with a hotel officer, we decided to just go home to my wife’s place.

Our Christmas noche buena was spent with Wendy’s family and relatives at Gen. Santos City. On Christmas day, we traveled to Brgy. Gumasa, Glan, Sarangani to visit their white-sand beaches there. We stayed at Rosal Beach Resort.

Here are some pictures taken…

In a wedding, giveaways are typically given by the couple to guests at the reception party to serve as a memento of that occasion. Of course, we were not an exception to this. Would you believe that our giveaways were already prepared 3 months before the wedding? That’s how excited we were! We prepared three kinds.

The first kind also served as an invitation. Check out my post about it.

This post was supposed to be an immediate follow-up to my previous post in the Our Wedding Chronicles series but for some reasons, it took me more than 2 months to do this.

After 2 hours of solemn wedding ceremony at the Archbishop Gerard Mongeau Chapel inside Notre Dame University, we arrived at around 11:30 AM at the El Manuel Entertainment and Convention Center for the reception. The place was large enough to accommodate all of our guests which were around 300. At the entrance, they were made to sign at our guest book and signature frame.
