My wedding was in a cvill register and only close family and my Wifes lolas sisters and and brothers attended while some uncles waiting outside with the vans (to sleep as they were up all the evening and had a long day infront of them) While the rest of family and friends met up at the reception.

We had a blessing with the Wifes Lolas pastor and loads of seats set out and fancy awnings the younger ones stayed in the shade and found a good table (can't lame em i would do the same)

But it was a great day and evening with the kids swiming and all age groups doing there own thing oldies moaning about the young, the men getting drunk and the women singing while my Wifes cool manila friends al sat smoking by ythe lake
