As the sunset later gave way for  dusk to envelop the venue,  the whole place acquired a more romantic feel & it was a cue that it was almost time to wrap things up.

Alexis & Vi- anne Calipusan Renew their Marriage Vows

HOW IT ALL STARTED It was Sandugo 1999 when their paths crossed at a very auspicious time. Call it fate, destiny or serendipity but it was an encounter that was meant to be. She just won the Lin- ay sang Negros beauty title, a prestigious province- wide pageant in Negros Occidental (equivalent to Miss Bohol in scope and prestige) and was in Bohol to visit relatives and what better way to do it than during the Sandugo Festival. 

After a friend excitedly told him of the presence of a beautiful girl during one of the Sandugo events, the guy immediately sought her out and as he told the enthralled guests during their reception, he saw not a beautiful girl but a super duper beautiful girl. Not one to miss a beat, he did what every proper gentleman would do. Get to meet her through her mom, and as they say, the rest is history.

THE RENEWAL OF VOWS Just a couple of days before the world bade goodbye to year 2018, Alexis Calipusan, son of erstwhile Loboc Mayor Leon Calipusan and socio- civic leader Baby Collins, and Vi- anne Cadianza, daughter of Wilfredo & Eva Cadianza, renewed their marriage vows in the presence of their children Emiko & Eileithyia, family & friends at the posh Henann Resort in Alona Beach, Panglao. 

With Fr. Christopher B. Ligason, the bride’s cousin

Amidst the ohs and ahs of resort guests, tourists and kibitzers, the beautiful couple reaffirmed their vows made 10 years ago in St. Jude Parish Church in Bacolod City.

OF MUSIC. MAGIC. MEMORIES & MEMENTOS 

The reception that followed at the spacious banquet hall of Henann Resort & Convention Center was like no other. The guests were welcomed to the cocktail area and reception area with live upbeat music from a musical group. 

Everyone feasted not only on the scrumptious canapés, side dishes and the main dishes as well but also on the live entertainment dished out by the angelic voices of the world- class Loboc Children’s Choir, the awesome showmanship of Loboc Youth Ambassadors, the mesmerizing vocal stylings of the Singing Priests of Tagbilaran and the party music from Interact Band that came all the way from Cebu City.

Prior to their Pearl Wedding Anniversary celebration, the couple, along with their children, went to Botoc Occidental, Loay, to share their blessings and where they also learned a lot from the community about loving and sharing. 

Alex and Vi- anne have a lot to be thankful for the ten years of togetherness; two wonderful treasures, thriving & successful careers, and a love & commitment that has withstood the hands of time.  

Here’s to the next ten years and beyond! Cheers!

Jemar & Maria Luz: Loving Thy Neighbor

They followed God’s commandment “Love Thy Neighbor” literally. After all, they were neighbors who fell in love when they were both in high school.

 Jemar & Luz: First & Last

Many skeptics thought it was just puppy love and would just peter out. But no way Jose!  Jemar Paga and Maria Luz Manito who became sweethearts in July 21, 2005 or exactly 11 years ago decided to tie the knot on the day of their 11^th anniversary. Jemar proposed to Luz on July 21, 2015 ten years after they became an item.

 A scene straight from a romance drama film


 

Both Jemar & Luz came home from Singapore for the most romantic day of their lives. Fr. Vengie Laguros was the officiating priest when the lovers became one at the IHMS and entertained their guests at the Bohol Tropics Resort.
