Cebu for a weekend wedding...

One of Blake's co-workers got married a couple weekends ago in Cebu, Philippines (small world I also knew this guy in the Aggies For Christ in college)... we were excited for a 4 day weekend to get away from Singapore and work... but so sad to leave our little man (but you will hear all the fun he had in a later post with Tita)... When we arrived to the hotel room.. we noticed Blake matched the walls... :-)

For the first couple of days we did a lot of this... relaxing in the sun (but it was rainy season so we did a lot of swimming in the rain and running from lightning...
Here is the ocean right outside the hotel which was nice and clear... this is a terrible pic of us but you can get a good picture of how clear the water was... and there were tons of these fish everywhere... really neat.

The resort also had a water park... so we took a couple rides everyday... when you entered the slide area you had to sign a waver and take all your jewelry off and you had to weigh yourself for each slide... there were max weights.. the slides were really fun but I am not sure if they would be legal in the states... never seen a ride where if you weighed to much you could not go on...
This red and white slide was amazing and crazy all at the same time... I can not remember ever going as fast as this ride sent you sliding... I had to close my eyes at times bc it felt like a roller coaster...while sliding down the tube on a yoga mat it would spit you out in this bowl and you would spin around until it literally spit you out the bottom into a pool of water.. it was crazy and fun all at the same time.

The kids by the pool... since this was Blake's co-worker getting married we got to hang out with some other co-workers that we knew... and we had a great time.. some great people and lots of laughs.




One night we split from the group and went on a date night just Blake and I... we decided to try Korean BBQ at the hotel (a Korean man owned the hotel)... but you can tell by Blake's face how excited he was about this... lets just say we should have gone some where else...

The next picture was taken on the last day (hence the sun burn) but this is a good view of the hotel...

Now comes the part in which we came for... the Wedding between Martin Miller and Joan Aloba.

It was so nice to be able to come to the wedding. But the really weird thing for me was I knew 3 of the people there from college... the groom Martin Miller, one of the groomsmen Ron Lee, and even the minister that married them I knew from the AFC, Ken Wilkie... it is a small world... Here are Martin and Ken.

This might be the cutest ring bearer I have ever seen... wings and all.

Here comes the bride...


And that dreaded rain came back... 2 crazy groomsmen... Stephen and Ron...the only ones scared of the rain.

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Martin Miller...

The beautiful reception.. I took lots of pics for all the ladies reading the blog... you know we always want to know the details of a wedding...

Gorgeous Wedding cake... but you have got to check out the topper... the best I have ever seen...

Just another bride and groom (5 years ago)...

You may kiss the hubby...

Our very own Ron Lee sang the first song... some of you know Ron Lee from Soul Union... what a treat...

My handsome prince dressed up as Stephen Cronin... what do you think?

Now the best of the party... the flower toss and garter toss....

And our very own Stephen... I think he had this planned...

Beautiful bride... check out those eyes...

So happy we could make it to their wedding... a very special treat in deed.

Just in case you want to see us again... HE HE HE

The NOBLE gang... congrats.

Here are some photos that we got later from the professional photographer... they tried to take pics of all the people at the wedding ceremony... do we look good or what... he he he



We don't really happy in these photos but we were (are)... thanks for the invite Martin and Joan... beautiful wedding and we pray for a just as beautiful marriage...

I love hearing what a small world it is, as we hope to go international next. Your blog has inspired me to continue to put singapore high on my list! :-> That, and the hopes that you guys would still be there, if we get there in 2012! You look great, and so did the wedding! How fun!
