Janele & Joseph
December 18, 2006:
A VERY VERY HAPPY WEDDING!!!!
Joseph & Janele were finally married last December 18, 2006, and it was such a happy wedding! I was kind of expecting it already to be such since I started my correspondence with Janele, the bride, who was U.S.-based, almost a year ( or more pa ba?) prior to their wedding. Joseph, or Kuya Otep as I fondly called him, was then in Taiwan. Yes, it was a loong distance relationship.
I cannot forget their little "dramatic movie" story in Taiwan airport. Her plane on a stop-over in Taiwan, Janele had to beg on her kness for the security and immigration people to give her a chance to meet and talk to Joseph, even for a very brief moment, before her plane leaves for the U.S. ( I guess Kuya Otep arrived late kasi 'ata or something). Her wish was granted!
I instantly liked Janele even when we have yet to personally meet each other because she was so much her real self, her uniquely charming character was all over her e-mail messages. Yes, she is really Kikay! Hahahahahahaha!

Kuya Otep, on the other hand, is the humble and reserved type and he has this thing about him that gives you a feeling of calm and tranquility. I guess they truly complemented each other. Joseph, however, surprised all of us on their wedding day for being much of a talker - he spoke and spoke and spoke of her undying love for Janele. everyone was super kilig!
Janele knew exactly what she wanted. See that beautiful bouquet? That's the very delicate and rare lily of the valley. She would have nothing but. It's great to know our florist did a great job. Another one is her gown done by Renee Salud. It really fit her long, svelte figure; and the Fanny Serrano make-up which really made her look every inch a beauty queen! More than these, she finally has Kuya Otep as her husband. Just by looking at them gave me the feeling that their love for each other can last even more than a lifetime.

Joseph and Janele's wedding was not only well-documented but more than anything, Dino Lara's photos and Jason Magbanua's onsite-video were simply marvelous. TO watch the video, simply right-click the pic below to open a new window:
For their first dance, she wanted this song by Marc Anthony entitled "My Baby You". She e-mailed me an mp3 of the song since it wasn't such a big thing in Manila. Oh my, the song was great! I asked Janele if we could do a professionally recorded arrangement in full orchestration so we could capture the song's essence. The result was fantabulous I even recorded the vocals for her cd giveaways, AWP token gift for them. Care to listen? Simply right-click Joseph and Janele's first dance photo and open a new window:
Maynila Ballroom, a favorite venue of mine, became more elegant with the event styling by Swags and Styles, I guess I was so much in a great mood because of it plus the fact that it was the RSVP Strings who accompanied me as I sang during dinner. RSVP's group head, Carmen Echevarria, was the King's pianist in the Brunei Palace and the music director of Andrea Bocelli's recent Manila concert. Gosh, I sounded truly world-class!
More than anything, it was truly a very happy wedding not only because of the happy groom and bride but the people who were there were so full of positive energy. It was simply oozing with joyous moments and I can't help but take full advantage of it by grasping all those good vibes and make use of them for a wonderful performance. I couldn't sleep when I arrived home since my adrenalin was to the max that night! Simply glorious!

To Janele and Joseph, thanks so much from the bottom of our hearts, for making us part of your special day.
Miss na namin kayo and I am looking forward to seeing you soon!
