Lozada - Hernandez Wedding

Few weddings if any at all are perfect, especially when the invitees are big in number. There are countless concerns to be addressed, the motif, church decorations, reception venue to program, menu and entertainment. Yet, occasionally perfection is achieved in every aspect. One such wedding was that of Luis Marcos Hernandez and Sarahlee Lozada.

The bride, petite and glowing with love walked down the aisle with proud dad Tony. She looked exquisitely radiant in a Philip Rodriguez original, the groom equally dashing in a dark tailored suit.

Reverend Father Jerome Cayetano S.V.D. officiated the Mass at the Redemptorist Church which was bedecked with pink gladiolas, mums and roses, definitely a work of art by the islands' foremost event planner Teresin Mendezona and innovative florist Pinky Chang.

Relatives and dear friends who have touched their lives were principal sponsors. They included doctors Robin Lee and Carmencita Senseng, Ricky Dakay and Nenette Lozada, good neighbors Eduardo and Therese Gonzalez, Ludwig and Perla Ceballos, Roberto and Maria Cristina Aboitiz and Jose and Susan Sala.

Best man was Esko Homsi while childhood friend Ana Maria Aboitiz was maid of honor. Candy Uy, Kathryne Ceballos, Doris Hernandez and Kristin Bautista were the lovely bridesmaids while Lee Manuel Lozada, Judd Pimentel, Javier Sala and Angel Dizon were groomsmen with Liezel Guinocor as junior bridesmaid.

Invitees immediately proceeded to the Casino Español for cocktails where sparkling champagne, wine and spirits were served endlessly, followed by a meticulously prepared sumptuous dinner at the grand ballroom. The menu consisted of Spanish picas, Japanese appetizers, salad greens, the freshest fish, prime rib and a selection of delectable desserts.

The speeches, limited to the maid of honor and the best man were short and sweet yet profoundly heartwarming.

The rest of the evening had guests dancing to the beat of the Renaissance Band.

It was a party like no other. A celebration of love, happiness and wonderful memories to last a lifetime.

To Sarahlee and Luis Marcos, may your wedding be the perfect start of a beautiful life together.
