Wedding

First time in Santa Maria, a town south of Malalag in Davao del Sur. Attended a wedding by a colleague, Weng. Just writing this post to note some traditions observed during the event.

The newlyweds giving out treats in exchange for money. Check.
The newlyweds dancing in front while various people pin money on them. Check.
Avoiding the bouquet. Check.
Avoiding the garter. Check.
Picking a couple from the audience using the garter and bouquet to, well, hopefully be the next couple. Check.
Sumptuous feast of murdered livestock. Check.
A barricade of godmothers and godfathers. Check.
An even bigger group of friends, family members, and colleagues. Check.

It's good some Pinoy traditions are here to stay.
