LOVE NOTE: Please RSVP and respond by November 10, 2024, by contacting MCC Events at 0929 461 4654. In order to keep our celebration intimate and stay within the venue capacity, please restrict the attendees in your party to those listed on your invitation.

Our Wedding

Bal and Shara were high school classmates. They began as friends, and by the start of their sophomore year, their hearts had quietly fallen in love with each other. Unfortunately, despite their deep connection, they had to part ways as they prepared for their separate college lives. Three years later, fate brought them back together on a single, unforgettable day. From prom and high school graduation to college and their first jobs, and even moving in together, they have been by each other's side through it all. In December 27, 2023, Bal popped the question to Shara and she said YES! Now, it is time to celebrate their love.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN...

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T RSVP ON TIME? Unfortunately, if we do not receive your RSVP by the specified date, you will not be able to attend. If you were to show up without submitting an RSVP, there would be no seat for you.

CAN I BRING SOMEONE WITH ME? No. Unless we personally confirmed this. Please refer to the number of seat/s allowed allotted for you. As much as we love to have everyone celebrate with us, unfortunately, we can only accommodate a limited number of guests due to venue restrictions. We want to be surrounded by our families, friends, familiar faces, meaning we can only take in those who are invited.

CAN WE BRING OUR KIDS TO THE WEDDING? We love children but we cannot accommodate them at the venue. This is an ADULT ONLY affair. The only kids attending are those who are part of the entourage and those only requested. We hope you understand.

WHEN IS THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO LEAVE? Please do not eat and run. It took US months to plan our wedding. Stay with us until the end of the program. If you must leave early, we'd personally love to thank you and bid goodbye before you go, perhaps not until our Same Day Edit video is played.

CAN I TAKE PHOTOS/VIDEOS? Yes! We want photos and videos captured from our day, especially from our friends and families point of views. During the ceremony, we kindly ask that you stay in your seats while taking photos and videos to maintain order inside the church.

WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE? We'd love to see our family and friends get up for our big day. Dress code is formal attire. Ladies can wear floor length or midi-formal dresses (please refer to the color palette in the invitation). Gentlemen can wear long sleeves Barong Tagalog and black pants. No jeans, rubber shoes, and slippers please!

WHAT TIME DO I NEED TO ARRIVE AT THE CHURCH VENUE? The entourage procession will strictly start at 2:30PM. This will be followed by Bridal March and Wedding Ceremony proper. Please arrive at least 15-20 minutes ahead of the ceremony consider the traffic and travel time.

WHAT TIME WILL BE THE PROGRAM START? There will be pre-program at 5:00PM, appetizers and refreshments will be served. Mingle with others and make memories with our roaming photo man. The main program will start by 6-6:30PM.

DO YOU HAVE ANY GIFT PREFERENCE? As love is what this day is all about, your presence is something we couldn't celebrate without. We are truly grateful for your time and effort just to be with us even in this holiday season. But if a present is your desire, we would be honored with a cash gift in lieu of material things to help us save for our future life together.
