Party at Hawaii
Hola! We all arrived in one piece after some heavy winds and a drizzle. Luckily we had no storm to beat that day. Anyways, it was like a year since our friends Wow and Julie had announced their plan to finally live their lives together and celebrating it. As I have heared, everything had been carefully planned, from the attire to the reception thanks to Eric and James. A year had passed and there we all were, everyone was happy for the couple and everything was in place. Everyone arrived just in time.
And so as we arrived from the airport, we were rendezvoused by the host hotels crew and brought to our respective suites. It took us about an hour to get some satin sheets on our backs. Anyways, the hassle was worth it. Eric and I had the courtesy of claiming our suite reservations while everyone was like shopping around the nearby galleria/mall. I guess we were the only ones looking for a shut eye.
At last, a clean fresh scented bed! Eric hardly had the time unpacking and hit the sack, while I daintily lounged at the hotels lobby to relax and exchanged smiles with the ladies at the front desk. The hours passed as we gallivanted around the hotel grounds and nearby stores and bars. The event was to be held only about two hours from our arrival and everyone was like in a hurry.
And so, as we all were expected to do, we all got into our Hawaiian outfits and headed straight to the soon to be couples memorable ceremony. It was cool seeing everyone in “Hawaiian” attire as the nuptual unfolded. All smiles lit the room as I gazed around. It was a good thing I had with me my trusty old shades. And the parish priest announced to the crowd, “You may kiss the bride”, and the two were a couple. Everyone applauded to the newlyweds as we made our way back headed for the receptions venue.
The place which the couple picked was a simple house turned resto/bar a few blocks away. It was like some sort of a giant hut. Anyways, it was dawn then and it was too dark for me to appreciate its enormity. A good hundred heads fit the place comfortably, a lot of beautiful new faces and guests lavished the grounds.
There was a wide selection of dishes served at the buffet. Ranging from the classic Caribbean salads to Italian pasta and famous Filipino dishes. We all had a great time consuming the grandiose of a cuisine. I helped myself with a simple Italian feast since I had a lot of traveling to do those days. Back in the hotel, we had a bottle of cognac to cap the event. The next thing I knew, I was home in the sack rubbing my eyes, trying to remember what had happened those past three days.
All in all, everyone had a great time.
To the newlyweds Peter and Julie! RACOON!!!
