Roaring '20s at Villa Escudero
“A good marriage is at least 80 percent good luck in finding the right person at the right time. The rest is trust.” — Nanette Newman
Well-known society couple Rosita “Itas” Escudero and William “Bill” Hensley Serumgard, who have been enjoying over 40 years of togetherness, were recently feted to a joint birthday bash with a 1920’s theme party. Held at the family’s sprawling Villa Escudero property, the celebration was brilliantly organized by the couple’s dapper son Kirk Anthony and his lovely wife jewelry designer Ciara Marasigan with the full support of party giver extraordinaire Ado Escudero. Family, relatives and close friends truly enjoyed a splendid night of merriment replete with an audio-visual presentation of the couple’s globe-trotting life together, the enthralling serenade by the UST Conservatory of Music and the rousing 1920s-inspired performance by the UST Jazz Ensemble.
Cheers!
