Update Sept 9, 2020: We have decided to carry out having a small wedding all in all and forego a big reception next year. 2020 has been a stressful year for everyone, with all the planning and replanning that’s gone into this wedding, we did not want to bear the stress and finances of having a second wedding next year. We hope you understand and thanks for following us in our journey!
We 100% understand your decision. Your safety is our top priority!
You will definitely be missed! If you can't make it, please let us know ASAP and RSVP "no" on the website to allow us to plan accordingly.
To ensure a final head count to our venue, please RSVP by September 12th!
Yes! Please see our Registry page. All cash donations will be used for honeymoon purposes. Thank you!
We have a strict guest list to stay on budget. Our wedding is strictly RSVP only. We will only able to accommodate those listed on your invitation.
Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses.
Las Vegas during the month of October is beautiful, not scorching hot and not freezing cold. It usually averages 68 - 74 degrees. With the reception taking place outdoors, we do recommend bringing a jacket.
There will be a slight gap between the ceremony and reception, lasting a maximum of an hour and a half. The ceremony begins promptly at 2pm and should last about an hour (we are having a full mass and a communion). After the ceremony, the wedding party will be taking photos at the reception location. You may arrive to the reception as early as 4pm. At that time, there will be a cash bar option open to guests. At 4:30, cocktail hour will officially begin and appetizers and champagne will be passed. At 5:30pm, the grand entrance will begin and the married couple will be introduced for the first time! The reception is to last 4 hours and will end at 8:30pm.
Our church is very busy and has events before and after our ceremony. Therefore, the ceremony will begin PROMPTLY at 2pm. Please arrive on time, preferably 15-30 minutes before 2pm. Please, no Filipino time...you know who you are :)
If we have talked to you beforehand and your kids' name are written on the invitation, yes.

We do not have hotel blocks for specific hotels, as many of our guests each have their own preferred place to stay. Although, we did list recommended hotels in our "Accomodation" page.
We encourage our guests to post on their social media. Our only request is to use the hashtag #TYINGTHERAPAKNOT so that we may keep track of the pictures. Please keep in mind to keep your phones on silent, especially during the ceremony as it will take place at the church.
