And to inject a bit more of the Filipino traditions...
THE PRINCIPAL SPONSORS
Principal Sponsors—known as Ninong (for men) and Ninang (for women) in Filipino tradition—play a very special role in our wedding. They are not only official witnesses to the ceremony, but also serve as “second parents” to the couple. Chosen with love and respect, they are often older than the bride and groom, and are looked to for wisdom, guidance, and counsel throughout married life.
DAVID & YVETTE COWELL - Primary Sponsor (UK)
Closest to Alex & Trina, based in Leeds! Trina found a family in them when she moved to the UK. Both continue to play an important role in our journey as a couple. (They actually saw our love story develop from day dot!)
MEYCEL & CHRIS DEANG - Primary Sponsor (CA)
Trina's auntie & uncle based in Canada. A role model to the couple especially when it comes to family life & parenting! Generosity/love towards the wider family is inspirational.
RAQUEL & RENE DEL VALLE - Primary Sponsors (CA)
The Del Valles are family friends based in Edmonton. Another inspiring couple to add to our roster of sponsors! They may be far but are always keeping tabs on Trina+Alex, ready to extend generosity & support!
