I’ve been friends with Jinoe and Quennie for 13 years since our Freshman days in La Salle. Like Val and I, their friendship grew until they were one of the couples whose togetherness leads to marriage.
It was more than a year of hands-on preparations. Through those 11 years of ups and downs in their lives, they finally exchanged their vows last April 19th. As early as last year until last Sunday, Jinoe and Quennie never left out each other in attending to their wedding up to the minute details. It was a real teamwork of two couples very much in love.
The makeover was in Planta Hotel – at the loft-type room where the bride and the groom calmly readied for their very special day. It was fun to be a part of the couple’s wedding from the preparations to the big day itself. Helping out my friends is very rewarding.

It was Quennie’s dream to have a garden wedding and it was granted in Palmas Del Mar Resort. It rained like hell a couple of days earlier their big day and I could feel the couple’s uncertainty. Fortunately, it had only a drizzle before the ceremony. I guess it was a sprinkle of blessing from the Almighty above. Everything went smoothly – even the weather behaved, no rains yet it wasn’t too hot in the afternoon - and love is truly in the air. The best of friends sealed their love to start a new chapter in their lives as husband and wife.
oops… the wedding is on the other side of this resort.
