Three Sisters and a Wedding
3 sisters. 2 brothers in law. 5 nephews. 2 nieces-in-law. 1 grandniece. 1 grandnephew. Friends from New Jersey and Arizona. Friends and relatives of bride and groom from several states and three other countries, and from the Philippines, of course.
We all attended the wedding of my niece, Rachelle and Erwin in San Jose, California last Thursday, April 30th.
I was a Ninong at the wedding, and my eldest sister was one of the Ninangs.
It was a lovely wedding. Again, I wish Rachelle and Erwin a big congratulations, and here's to a happy, peaceful and blessed life ahead!
The day was also the 32nd wedding anniversary of my youngest sister, the bride's mom. So it was a double celebration.
Reception was at the lovely Hotel Valencia, where there were hors d'oeuvres at the hotel's beautiful garden before the actual reception. For the pre-reception, we enjoyed the native, crispy lechon, among other appetizers and an open bar.
Of course, Filipino weddings wouldn't be complete without dancing, so we enjoyed several numbers with music provided by two Filipina singers. Now the eldest sister wants me to teach them how to ballroom. Well.

Very nice pictures. Family events, especially weddings, always make me nostalgic of days past.
