The birthday began with a holy Mass and was followed by a sumptuous buffet luncheon with assorted mouth-watering dishes complemented with a selection of vintage wines and capped with yummy desserts. It was a joyous and jovial celebration for all.
Happy birthday, Sonny!
Aside from the delicious food catered by The Plaza, the couple put up a bahay kubo where one could partake of sumptuous bibingka, puto bumbong and halo-halo.
The retro band The Marvels sang unforgettable oldies that made the guests get up and strut their stuff on the dance floor.
Everyone greeted the new year in a playful mood, spraying each other with spaghetti confetti, blowing trumpets to ward off bad luck and marveling at the spectacular fireworks display. Friends kept pouring in until the wee hours, joining in the revelry and merry-making.
Manolo and Inday’s lovely daughters Mayenne, Annie and Marisa gamely took to the dance floor and did exhibitions of tango, foxtrot and chacha. As early as now, the Carmona family promises to make the next new year celebration a biggest blast!
Among the beautiful people who partied that night were singing sensation Dr. Nonie Fernandez; actor Monsour del Rosario; dazzling Criselda Fernandez and Tereret Liboro.
We look forward to next year’s shindig!
