Question

Is there an open bar?

Answer

Certainly!! The drinks are on us and the hangover is on you! Please do not bring outside alcoholic beverages to the premises. This includes your car! There will be a penalty fee of $325 of outside alcoholic beverages found on the premises. So PLEASE enjoy the free open bar! :)

Question

Will we be doing a money dance?

Answer

Yes! We will be doing this to respect Trisha’s Filipino heritage. The money dance is also known as the prosperity dance, or sabitan ng pera in Tagalog. This Filipino custom represents the financial abundance of the happy couple and helps them build a strong financial future together. In terms of actual choreography, it’s quite straightforward when done traditionally: guests line up in two queues, with everyone holding a pin or tape and waiting their turn to dance with the bride or groom. This will be taking place after the first dance of the bride and groom.
