Wedding Bloggables

My brother is getting married in less than two weeks and I'll be having another older sister! :)

Theirs will be the first wedding in my immediate family and the 23rd wedding I'll be attending in general. (I'm one of those girls who counts all the weddings she has attended. Haha!) My mom was astonished not by the number of weddings I've attended but by the fact that I remember each one of them to the point of being able to count.

I do remember each and every one of those 23 weddings very vividly. In fact I remember each of the churches, receptions, invitations, color motifs, dresses, program hosts, performers, speeches, and the desserts. I also remember whether the guys were required to wear Barong Tagalog or coat-and-tie. Of course, I remember the brides' gowns and notice their makeup too which make them glow. Lovely! And if I were really struck by the arrangements, sometimes I even remember the flowers!

What can I say? My episodic memory is way much better than my semantic memory. Plus weddings are so happy that I can't help but remember all of them.

I'm getting sentimental and all happy, mushy, slushy. I've actually been watching videos by Jason Magbanua and have labeled my favorite in my head. I've been checking out his works since the day Kuya Pao and Ate Ria decided to get him for their wedding video. I've also been listening to songs that would suit the cocktails area for the reception and planning the songs with a good friend of mine who's as much of a romantic as I am. I think her love bug bit me too.

Here's my favorite (by far) Jason Magbanua video. I'm a sucker when it comes to good music, impressive cinematography, and real love put together. I hope Andrei and Minerva don't mind me linking their video HERE.
