PaoSam Wedding

I did my mom's makeup again.

All waiting for the bride!

There was a Disney princess moment when Sam's silhouette beneath the balcony was shown 

Sam's lovely gown was by Inno Sotto (one of the principal sponsors) and the appliques were really lovely.

Their vows were so cute! I'm sure someone's going to upload the same-day edit video soon. 

The mirrored tables and faux ghost chairs allowed all the colorful lights to transform the venue into something fun and whimsical 

The wedding had a Star Wars theme but it wasn't overkill. Tiny details on the entourage's accessories + these guys escorting the couple into the ballroom added just the right amount of playfulness. Paolo's always been a Star Wars fan so I sort of expected that. 

When YouTubers unite! Riz finally met AJ Rafael and had a fangirl moment when he admitted that he was subscribed to her. 

Alex (Sam's sister/maid of honor) and Nini

delicious sit-down dinner

I don't have enough photos of people on stage, but it was like a huge concert the entire night! The guest list was comprised of all the great OPM artists. The reception was just pure entertainment.  Rockeoke followed and lasted til midnight.

I never get excited for weddings, but this was something else. I've always looked up to Pao and Sam as a couple and watching them tie the knot almost brought tears to my eyes (which, trust me, rarely happens). During the six years they've been together it became more evident that they were made for each other so I was so happy that the wedding turned out to be memorable for everyone! They deserve each other and I'm glad that I was able to witness this occasion. Their relationship's always revolved around their faith, so their love will for sure be one that transcends.

BGC Impromptu (Sept. 2)

❧

Had a blast performing during our first BGC Impromptu gig last Sunday at High Street Central!

Riz and I performed for an hour before John Sung, Robin Nievera and Joseph Wu played. Julianne dropped by to watch our set and obviously we had to convince her to sing a few songs. I swear, those who weren't there missed out on her awesomeness! It's a free gig in the middle of High Street, and we got THE Julianne Tarroja to play! I still can't believe how we're now friends with some of the musicians we've always looked up to. *fangirl moment*

 We were so happy with the turnout so we've decided to perform again this Saturday. Join us this September 8 at 6 PM, we'll be performing til 9 PM! Anyone up for a Mercato run after the gig? :)

On Higher Ground

Okay, I really thought Sarah G. was going to pop out of the stage like the other performers! Maybe in another concert :P 

I had to take a video of this part-- it was like a Gary V choir & they all sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow together. So cool!

 This night was the 3rd run & the place was packed

❧

So glad Paolo gave us tickets to his dad's concert (which he co-directed). Despite the technical difficulties, we were all in awe of the graphics! And of course, the vocals were just perfect (as expected from a Gary V concert). I also LOVED the performances of Quest and Julianne. 

It's a show for all ages- kids will love the effects, older kids like me (haha) will love the current/more upbeat tunes and mums will surely get kilig with the classic Gary V songs.  :)  

This is going to run until May 10. Visit the official Facebook page for dates & ticket prices! 

And a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to tito Gary, Paolo, Quest & Julianne!!! 

You guys have to watch! :)
