A vow of eternity

“Marriage is not a ritual or an end. It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters most than your own sense of balance and your choice of partner.” — Amy Bloom

Chippy Blanco and Michelle Ledesma just recently professed their love after 10 years at a grand wedding in the Santuario de San Antonio Parish. The breathtaking ceremony was well attended by the couple’s closest friends and family along with their parents Manny and Fanny Blanco and Arturo and Lourdes Ledesma who happily watched as their children began a new chapter in their lives. Archbishop Antonio Ledesma, the bride’s uncle, performed the Eucharistic celebration. A sumptuous Spanish buffet awaited the guests at the lavish reception in the Manila Polo Club. It was a truly delightful occasion filled with much love and good wishes. 

Congratulations, Chippy and Michelle!
