Gardens, Weddings and After Parties

This set of photos was taken between April 25th and May 1.


Close up of the calimansi tree growing in my Tita Aurie's garden. Calimansi is widely used around the Philippines as marinade in fish and meat dishes. It is also used as a flavoring in drinks.

Our cousin Esther married Joseph at St Therese church on April 25. Tiffany (far left) and Jules (far right) were part of the wedding entourage as cord sponsors. The cord is draped on the necks of the bride and groom to symbolize the lifelong bond between the two.


The cousins gathering for a group pic at the wedding reception. Check out Tito Romy in the back, holding up the wedding cake for reasons beyond explanation.


The celebration keeps going, with the wedding after party taking place at our Tito Nonoy's, the father of the bride. We all look suprisingly sober here after finishing off a bottle of tequila.

Introducing the Pinkie Bomb, named after our cousin who made this drink up on the spot: Drop a shot of Jose Cuervo in a San Miguel Light. Guaranteed drunkeness.
