Behind the Scenes with Ivy Visitacion |
It was a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon when two hearts became one. This was a union of two prominent families from the north. Maricel Orceo Acuña, daughter of Pepe and Minda Acuña of Victorias City, said "I do", to Jun Senen Hinlo Javelosa, son of Mrs. Totong Hinlo Javelosa of Manapla and Victorias. The bride looked absolutely luminous in her elegant wedding gown, while the nervous groom looked handsome in his barong as he waited for her at the famous Church of the Angry Christ at the VMC Compound.
Principal sponsors are Gov. Joseph Marañon (who was represented by Toto Salado), the relatives of the bride: Mayor Vero Palanca, BM Gary Acuña, Vice Mayor Wantan Palanca, Ray Bantug and relatives of the groom from Victorias and Sagay, JV Hinlo, Gilbert Hollero, Berning Javelosa, Elwin Javelosa and Ben Siana. The female principal sponsors in their eye-catching classy gowns were Femy Octaviano, Anet Acuña Antonio, Suzzette Bantug, Jo An Lo Henares, Ninfa and Nena Hinlo, Epin Javelosa Regalado, Cirila Amahit, Azucena de Ramos and Lina Manaloto Lim. Vice Governor Isidro Zayco was one of the couple's specials guests.
Guests were delighted at the unique rustic setting of the wedding reception which was held at the fabulous Toreno garden and fishpond owned by Remedios Bantug, who was there to welcome the visitors. There couldn't have been a more charming hacienda setting for the romantic wedding reception as the guests enjoyed the sumptuous feast under the giant trees with a cool breeze blowing gently around them. The glittering lights decorating the trees cast a special glow adding to the dreamy ambiance. The party ended with an awesome fireworks display while the guests enjoyed dancing until the wee hours.*
