THE SAME SEX WEDDING IN THE PHILIPPINES



July 24 was the day that New York State Marriage and Equality Act went effect which was signed into law by the Governor.  The Town of North Hempstead opened the Town Clerk's Office to issue marriage licenses and perform weddings.   In Philippines, the Metropolitan Community of Metro Baguio held a same-sex mass wedding the following day, June 25, 2011.  The mass same-sex wedding was officiated by the pastors of MCC-Metro Baguio and was participated by eight of lesbians and gay couples.

On July 09, 2011 a same-sex wedding happened in the island of Guimaras particularly at Rumagangrang beach on the top of the searock formation as the wedding venue.  It was a destination wedding. Only a few selected guests were invited.  We traveled from Iloilo City to Guimaras island and stayed there for two days and one night.  FYI, since 2009, destination weddings continued to see growth compared to traditional weddings.  A lot of couples these days opt for destination weddings for a smaller size and less expensive.

THE WEDDING DECORATION

Wedding decorations are the centerpieces of the ceremony.  They are essentials in creating the wedding scene.  The most common decor that you will find in any wedding is the flower arrangement.  Shyne who is a wedding planner slash director know what is best.  He is the one who helped organize and coordinate the activities and tasks needed to execute the Romeo-Joyce wedding and made it happened.   He is the most creative in that field.  The rest of the AVATAR members were there to support as well.  That's one of the good traits I learned from them.  "Walang sapawan!"  Be the top scorer (back to zero)-Wilma zero, KC two( mga ganyang banat).  Ha-ha

THE WEDDING FLOWER:

Tulip is the only wedding flower that Shyne chose.  Oh well, tulip's native range extends from as far west as Southern Europe, North Africa, Anatolia, and Iran to the Northwest of China.  However, there's always a substitute.  Shyne used specialty paper as an alternative.  It turned Tulips in variety of colors- pink, purple, white and yellow.  The tulips were also in the wedding bouquet.
