A grand birthday bash

“Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.”  — James Barrie

The stately and exquisite manor that the Hechanovas call home — that took almost five years to build — was the venue of one of the best parties to end the year as the illustrious Mely Concepcion Hechanova celebrated her birthday. The intimate affair was absolutely perfect. Mely’s loving husband Paing welcomed the carefully selected guests who enjoyed vintage wines that went hand-in-hand with the sumptuous dishes. Mely’s guests wished her happiness and long life. What a way to end the year!

Happy birthday, Mely and many more to come!
