Gen and Tetel ... Through The Years

I am giving this blog post tribute to two good friends who are great examples of true friendship, love and lifelong commitment - Mr. and Mrs. Genesis and Russel Binagatan.  With all my heart, I am truly happy with what they have accomplished not just in their careers but specifically to their marriage.  And I am truly blessed to be given this privilege to be their friend and their host during their wedding.

As their friend, I am so proud to have known them for over 10 years now.  Theirs was such a great love story that started way back in highschool, their love blossomed as they grew mature as well, their love was tested by time and trials but they stood by each other and fought all the battles together with God as the center of their lives.  Just thinking of what they've gone through makes me teary eyed and smile and at the same time makes me want to do a standing ovation as they exemplify what friendship, love and lifelong commitment really means.

To my dear friends - Gen and Russel congratulations and best wishes, you've already started your "happy walk" and I'm sure with Terence and Therese it will be more complete.  You have my prayers, my blessings and my love!

From Russel: "Cel thank you and thanks to YE.  Special thanks to ate cynth, for being so patient with me. Cel forgot to give tip, so satisfied with your service, heard lots of compliments from my guests." (sms message dated March 17 at 7:02 pm)

My favorite WEDDING EMCEES

One of the perks of being a wedding coordinator is getting to know and getting the privilege to meet and work with top caliber wedding suppliers - one of them would be wedding emcees.


Let me share with you my favorite wedding emcees - I would consider them the best that the wedding industry would have to offer.  They are usually the wedding emcees I would recommend to my couple if they'd like to get other emcees aside from me (yep, I also do hosting but that's another story).  I won't give any description about them as I feel they are all equally talented and befit of their title as "professional wedding emcee"


So here goes, my favorites:

Ms. Mallory Ferrer-Cosio

Ms. Marjorie Ferrer Dizon (short hair; the long hair in the middle is Lyn of Eloquente Catering)

Ms. Vet Lauzon (middle) 

(the other one on the left side is Onie of Josiah Catering)

GI Cheyenne

Chinese Wedding Emcee - Dr. Jerome Go

Another Chinese Wedding Emcee Ms. Kimberly Tan (though I didn't get the opportunity to have a close shot at her)

So there, my favorites.  I would consider them the "cream of the crop", the best of the best (that's my honest opinion).  I'm sure there are a lot of wedding emcees out there but the ones I've mentioned here are my favorites - and this is my blog hehehe.

Best,

Cel
