Lovely pair Rommel Hinlo and Cristina de Leon recently sealed their promise of forever in a colorful ceremony at Plantation Bay’s Galapagos Beach and a festive sunset reception that was both dramatic and inspiring in its simplicity and elegance. The mass was celebrated by Fathers Gerry Matriano, Frank Tobin and Ben Ma. Both bride and groom were radiant in all white while family, friends Lea Palou, Jay Jalandoni and matron of honor Judith Guerrero, as well as some eminent figures of Manila and Bacolod’s most prominent families such as Therese Escaler, Tony and Chona Montinola all came in an aquamarine motif. Everyone obviously had a blast as they danced the night away to the music of the Renaissance Band, Cebu’s premier retro band. The celebration was capped off with a dazzling display of fireworks which somehow pictured how the future of this beaming couple would be. To Rommel and Cristina, our best wishes for a very happy life together!
