Gerson and Delphine (Industriya Marikina)

My brother, Gerson, and Delphine, wanted a ‘not-typical-but-still-chill-wedding’ and for everyone to just enjoy the day. With just friends and family helping them out (wait, what, no wedding suppliers? *gasps*), and an unusual wedding theme (Pinoy Bohemian), these two were able to pull it off.

They did away with hotel preps and just dressed up in their respective houses:

To keep their guests busy (and socializing!) before and after the ceremony, they gave away human bingo cards:

And even had dirty ice cream and fishball stalls for the guests to enjoy:

The church in Marikina was along the banks of the Marikina River.

Just before walking down the aisle, the bride got entangled in the ribbons and had to twirl to get out. Now, that’s a bridal entrance! gerson023

We didn’t know that there was a religious procession after the ceremony. A lot of people were already waiting outside the church. :p

Played around with the huge letters that Delphine’s friends brought as props:

The reception venue was a few steps away from the church so the couple decided to just walk…

One of the highlights of the reception was the father-daughter / mother-son dance that became a group dance!
