The Boracay Wedding

Boracay is one of the most amazing places in the Philippines - you're sure to fall in love as soon as you catch sight of the clear blue waters and sugar-white sand.

We will have a small get-together in Boracay the night before the wedding, April 2nd, starting at 530pm at the White House Beach Resort (Station 1) - pizza, beer, barbecue - to start off the festivities. Nothing formal at all - in fact, would encourage folks to wear whatevery they'd be most comfortable chilling in by the beach at night.

The Catholic ceremony will be held at the Holy Rosary Church at 3pm on April 3rd and will immediately be followed by cocktails and dinner at the Discovery Shores Boracay Resort & Spa. You certainly will have time to run back to your respective hotels to change between the wedding and the reception!

The motif: emerald green and ocean blue

The attire: beach formal -- best description pulled from the net so far?

"Beach formal would most likely be a nice modest sarong or sundress, worn with a nice scarf over the shoulders or a sheer type shawl for a woman, and a button down or pull over shirt with dockers or khakis for a man. Think of dressed down, country club, resort type, after dinner casual attire. And that is about the same thing as beach formal. Simply put; No ragged, stained or holey clothes. Keep it clean and neat. Cover the body modestly, out of respect for the sacred occasion, regardless of how informal the ceremony may be."

The food: We will have a nice selection of items that will be served during the reception. However, if you have any dietary restrictions, certainly please let us know so we can make sure you'll have more than enough to eat when you're there!

WARNING: March and April are some of the hottest months in the Philippines. It can easily get up to 40 Celsius (over 100 Fahrenheit) so dress accordingly, bring loads of sunblock, and stay hydrated!!
