Question

Can I Take Pictures During The Ceremony?

Answer

We want everyone to be fully present during our ceremony as this is a time for our close friends and family to support and celebrate us. Due to this, phones and cameras are not permitted during our ceremony. Additionally, we have paid professionals to document the entire day and do not want cell phones in the background of our photos. For the reception, take any photos and videos you desire and don't forget to enjoy yourself!

Question

Will There Be An Open Bar?

Answer

Our wedding will not have an open bar and will be offering mocktails in place of alcohol to respect guests who choose not to drink. For the toast, guests will be offered Sidra Real, a traditional Argentinian cider with a low ABV content (normally 3-5%). This is entirely optional.

Question

What are the Filipino ceremonial traditions that will be honored during the ceremony?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony will incorporate beautiful Filipino traditions that symbolize unity, commitment, and the blessings of marriage. Here are the key traditions you’ll witness: - Veil Ceremony: Two sponsors (often close friends or family members) will place a veil over both the bride and groom. This veil symbolizes the couple being "clothed as one" and their unity in marriage. - Cord Ceremony: A cord (often made of silk or a special rope) will be draped over the couple’s shoulders in a figure-eight shape. This symbolizes the eternal bond of marriage, a lifelong partnership that cannot be broken. -Coin Ceremony (Arras): The groom will present the bride with 13 coins, also known as "Arras," as a symbol of his commitment to supporting her and their future family. The number 13 represents Christ and his 12 apostles, reflecting a spiritual commitment as well. These traditions are a way for us to honor our heritage and signify the deep meanings behind unity and commitment in marriage.

Question

Who are Ninongs and Ninangs, and what role do they play in the wedding?

Answer

Ninongs and Ninangs (godparents) hold a special role in Filipino weddings. They are chosen by the couple to serve as mentors and spiritual advisors throughout their marriage. Traditionally, they are respected figures, often close relatives or family friends, who are seen as role models. During the ceremony, the Ninongs and Ninangs will participate in various symbolic acts such as placing the veil and cord on the couple. Their involvement signifies their support and their blessings for the couple’s new life together.

Question

What is the Filipino Money Dance?

Answer

The Filipino Money Dance (also known as the "Prosperity Dance") is a beautiful tradition in Filipino weddings where guests offer money to the newlyweds to wish them prosperity, happiness, and financial success in their marriage. During the dance, guests pin money to the couple’s attire or place it in a basket while joining them on the dance floor. The money from the dance is traditionally used to help the couple start their new life together. Basicall, the money dance is a fun way to show support for the newlyweds! There are two ways to participate in the money dance: - Bring cash to the wedding and pin it on us during the dance (don’t worry, we’ll have pins ready for you!). - Send your contribution digitally using Zelle. Our details will be displayed on the day of the wedding near the dance area, or you can ask a member of the wedding party for help. Feel free to give whatever you’re comfortable with—the gesture is what matters most to us. Every contribution, big or small, is a lovely blessing for our new life together. And remember, participating is completely optional, but we’d love for you to join in!
