Oyen|Grace… and The 2 1/2 Hour 150km Drive to the Reception

 -

Everytime I mention to people that this wedding’s church ceremony will be held at the magnificent Monastery of the Transfiguration in Malaybalay, Bukidnon & the reception will be at Xavier Estates, Cagayan de Oro City (approximately 150km in distance), their immediate reaction would be, “What?!  That’s insane.”  “Well,” I said to them, “it’s gonna happen.”

 -

And it did, all 15+ cars & vans carrying the couple, the guests, and the suppliers travelled in a convoy going back to Cagayan de Oro City, passing municipality after municipality, residents amused, and rain coming down hard.  It just shows how determined the couple (and all of us) are in making their wedding one of a kind.

 -

The couple are both U.S. based and had little time to prepare for their wedding.  Everything was “buzzer-beated”, including us, (again? ), booked less than a week before their big day.  But the couple’s desire and hands-on attitude, plus  getting very reliable suppliers in CDO, made this wedding really something special.
