On time schedule...

July 29, 2006 marks the beginning of Aura Perez and Dex Cruz's lives together as husband and wife. The wedding ceremony happened in St James Alabang and reception followed in the Grand Ballroom of Bellevue Hotel.

The wedding was a reunion of family and friends I must say. I noticed a number of balikbayan relatives from both sides making the celebration more festive. Infact, an uncle from abroad rendered very special saxophone numbers in the reception. He was indeed good in his performance.

We have always been strict about the wedding day schedules cause it is important to be on time in the church. Have informed most of the participants that they have to be in St James the Great Church at 215pm in order for us to organize and brief them because ceremony would have to start exactly at 3pm.

At 245pm, personnel from the church is already coaching us to start the ceremony. I was fixing the processional line-up already that time. At exactly 3pm, they want us to march but we still lacked around 4 pairs of Principal Sponsors. We were left with no option but to proceed with the processional at 3:10 with incomplete sponsors.

That how it is in most churches. Shouldn't take that for granted cause during the reservation alone, couple are being briefed already about the importance of starting on time for the ceremony and for us wedding coordinators, we are being coarsed to really follow the rules, otherwise we would have to answer for our own actions.
