Neil & MJ during their engagement party |
Although relatively new, engagement parties are now gaining more and more popularity and acceptance here in Bohol.
An engagement party happens when a couple finally decides to make their relationship into a lifetime commitment.
The party is their way of sharing the good news with their friends and families, a time to let the future in-laws meet and of course, to celebrate the next chapter in the couple’s life.

The engagement of US- based Neil John Penales Romero, son of Nathaniel & Lolita Romero, & Mary Jude “MJ” Poquita Simbajon, daughter of Frankie & Judil Simbajon, comes to mind when talking about this beautiful & meaningful social event. Held at the posh Bluewater Resort in Panglao, it had all the elements of the ideal engagement party; presence of family & friends, romantic ambience, the traditions & symbols and of course, the great food & drinks and the fun that comes after the ceremony.

Aside from the great food was great and overflowing drinks, Lhenny Esguerra and the rest of the Bluewater family were right there to make sure everything was okay.
The lovely evening was highlighted with the marriage proposal followed by the presentation & acceptance of the engagement ring. As in many countries, the engagement ring was placed on the ring finger of Mary Jude’s left hand. This custom traces its origins in an ancient Egyptian myth that the finger contained the vena amoris or vein of love that led directly to the heart. The circular shape symbolizes eternity and the immortality of love.
