Welcome To My Life

The Wedding

The Torres Family

Kuya with our Parents

The day finally arrived for my brother to get married. At 10AM we arrived in the townhouse in Tagaytay where my whole family would be staying. Settled in and enjoyed the cool air breeze for a little bit. After getting settled, my mom, sister and I went to Shing's hotel to have our hair and makeup done. It took a long time for that to get done as they have a big entourage. After the picture taking with the bride and the whole bridal entourage, my sister and I went off to the church. Take note, I was in my dress and still driving the car! hehehe It was also getting cold and the shawl we have didn't help much with the cold. The wedding was nice, the bride and her parents almost got teary-eyed as they walked down the altar. After all, it was their only daughter/child getting married.



After the wedding, my cousins and I went back to the townhouse to get all the wines and brandy for the reception. Again, I'm still in my dress and in heels driving the car in Tagaytay! Imagine that! hehehe



When we arrived at the reception, I was in awe of the place, too bad it was already dark when we arrived. It would have been beautiful if we caught a little sunlight on the place and took pictures there.

Some of Our Clan

Anyways, my brother placed all of us cousins in the last table to be called for picture taking with the couple and to get food at the buffet table. Thinking that we wouldn't mind waiting that long. We were all so hungry waiting for our table number to be called that when our number finally got called, we were teasing Kuya of the table number and how hungry we all were.

Goofing around with the Bride

After the wedding was over, we went back to the townhouse and continued our party there. Drinking, laughters, neverending stories were exchanged up to the wee hours of the morning. That's the most fun part of weddings anyway, the after-parties. hehehe

Goofing around with the Groom

After all the oldies finally had enough alcohol, stories and food, they went to sleep. Us, youngsters, were left with a little more booze and little bit more stories to tell. As we were getting sleepy and bored, I decided it's time that I finally taught my family to play Texas Hold'em Poker. hehehe We played 'till morning and they still can't beat Donya Soledad. bwahhahhhaaha That's me by the way, in case you didn't know. (Trivia: That's the alias bestowed upon me by my fellow PAA(Poker Addicts Anonymous) club members during our poker days in my previous company.) hehehehe

After waking to a hangover the following mid-morning, we all finally packed our stuff and headed for home. But before going home, my cousins and I decided to have lunch first in Tagaytay. We discussed our upcoming Christmas Party on the 24th while we were enjoying our bulalo. Yummy!
