A wondrous wedding

“Love at first sight is easy to understand; it’s when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle.” — Amy Bloom

Congratulations and best wishes for a long, happy life for Tina Fruto and Addie Palabyab, who were recently married in the serene Santuario de San Antonio in Forbes Park. Tina, daughter of lawyer Ruben and Caridad Fruto, dazzled the guests with her enchanting beauty when she walked down the aisle where the dashing Addie, son of doctors Efren and Clare Palabyab, was waiting for her. Their loving family and closest friends were dressed in their formal best as they witnessed wedding vows being exchanged and the new couple starting on the path of their new life together in San Francisco, California, where they both reside. After the wedding, the happy newlyweds had their reception at the posh multi-Kalakbay awardee Mandarin Oriental where they continued their fairy tale wedding.

Tina and Addie, may your union be blessed. Congratulations!

Any color you wish
