Question

What is a “Money Dance” and how do I participate?

Answer

Per Filipino tradition, we plan to do a Money Dance during our reception! This is an opportunity for guests to dance with the newlyweds while pinning $ bills to their clothes for prosperity. Participation with cash is encouraged but totally optional - if you wanna pin a handwritten message instead, go for it! The important thing is that we get to dance with you :)

Question

I'm confused...I thought Bryanna and Orlando were already married??

Answer

Legally speaking, yes - we "eloped" and signed our marriage license at the Denver Clerk & Recorder office on February 14. 2022, on the 10th anniversary of our relationship (and Valentine's Day!). But due to the pandemic, we postponed our ceremony & reception celebration until this year. We are so excited to finally share this moment with all of our cherished friends & family!
