We would love you there.

After nine years, two cities and one very patient family, we are finally doing this. There will be a long ceremony, a longer dinner, and dancing until the lights come up. Please come hungry.

Before you come.

Filipiniana, softly interpreted

Barong in cream or ecru, long dresses in warm neutrals. Please leave white and ivory to the bride.

Getting there

A complimentary shuttle leaves Makati at 1:15 PM and returns after the last dance. Intramuros parking is limited.

Your household

Each invitation is arranged by household. Your RSVP shows exactly the places held in your name.

On gifts

Your presence is the gift. For those who insist, a home fund will be shared privately with your confirmation.

Questions, answered.

What does Filipiniana attire mean for me?

For the gentlemen, a barong Tagalog in cream or ecru with dark trousers. For the ladies, a long dress in soft neutrals; a modern terno or a beaded gown both suit the evening.

May I bring a plus-one?

Your invitation names every seat reserved for your household. Please write to us if it looks incorrect and we will do our best.

Is there parking at the church?

Intramuros parking is limited, so we have arranged a shuttle from Makati. Details are in Getting there.

May we take photographs?

Please do, after the ceremony. During the rite we ask for an unplugged half hour so everyone is present with us.

Share what you see.

We will not see most of the day through our own eyes. Tag your photographs and we will find every one of them.
