The Wedding Website of Charisse Ann Florete Mandecote and Michael Joseph Laurence
Meet our family and friends who are walking down the aisle with us! We are honored to share a piece of Filipino culture in our celebration. In a traditional Filipino wedding, sponsors —known as Ninongs and Ninangs — hold a place of deep significance. They are cherished mentors and loved ones who offer guidance, blessing, and support throughout our marriage. There are principal sponsors who serve as witnesses to our union, symbolizing our respect and gratitude for those who have guided us. There are also secondary sponsors, who take part in traditional rites such as the candle, cord, veil, and coin ceremonies, representing unity, love, prosperity, and faith.
