A Dream Bridal Convoy

And now, the piece de resistance for the whole month of January was of course, another wedding to prepare for!

Anthony and Jenny's wedding marked my very first Concept Magic project for 2009 (after months of not handling anything while I was in the U.S.) so I treated this as a new chapter in my event-planning life.

This wedding was actually my very first Honda Club wedding - and I couldn't be any prouder! Anthony approached me last December with only one request: to ensure that the reception program would be short, yet deliciously entertaining. And since he also requested that I be the emcee for the program, controlling the flow of things was not really much of a problem for me.

What I really found unique about Anthony and Jenny's wedding was what the couple termed as the "dream bridal convoy." I, along with several of our other friends from the Silver Brothers (a quasi-group within HCP) met up at Shell Julia Vargas (commonly known as BAS to many car enthusiasts) and escorted the bride in a huge convoy going to Christ The King Parish - the bridal car, of course, being one of Anthony's prized possessions: his kick-ass JDM-inspired Honda Civic EK. It was a truly unique spectacle!

I co-hosted the reception program with Mikko (remember the HCP Shredders in a previous blog entry?) and I felt truly relieved that everything went smoothly. We even finished the program ahead of time! I also loved the way Anthony was a good sport about everything - especially during the part where he had to do a pseudo-sexy dance to the tune of "Like A Virgin" while walking toward his new wife to remove the garter from her leg! That was definitely a bunch of laughs! (Too bad I don't have the video here - it would have been priceless!)

I guess we didn't disappoint the newlyweds that night, because a few days later, we received an email from Anthony and Jenny with a truly heartwarming testimonial. This is what they wrote:

"Concept Magic Events really made our dream wedding come true. We didn't have any idea how a modern wedding program runs but Concept Magic Events designed the perfect program for us. What we really wanted was to keep the guests entertained while we are away for our photo shoot after the wedding and our guests not to wait too long for the food.

After a couple of meetings with Concept Magic Events team, they were able to picture what we really want for our wedding. We trusted them to make our wedding a memorable one, and true enough, it turned out to be one of the most unique weddings they produced - from organizing the Convoy for the Bride, having a funny program and wonderful emcees, devising unique ways for the garter and bouquet tosses and putting a twist to the traditional couples kiss.

With Concept Magic Events Management, you are in charge of your wedding. They will know what you want, and do it exceptionally. Their wide experience in organizing weddings made this team the perfect help for couples who want to get married the extraordinary way."

Well, it was quite extraordinary, wasn't it? :-D

P.S. I was so happy with what they wrote about the company that I had our webmaster change the banner of the main page to an image of Anthony and Jenny's "kissing pose." The couple was extremely ecstatic about it. ^_^
