After eight full years of being I and you, he and she, him and her, Vince and I are now we.
I am now Mrs. Sales.
That’s just awesome.

Special guests
Aside from my best friend Aida flying in all the way from Europe, we were also grateful that Vince’s best friend, Jukka, also managed to get to Manila (from wherever in the world he happened to be—he’s a documentary producer) a couple of days before the wedding. 
Theodore teased that we had celebrities in the house. What with our cousin Iza and the Valdes couple, Dennis and Tessa, in attendance. Well, these people are actually my friends!
P.S. Tessa featured the wedding in her column in last Sunday's society pages. I hope you all got your copy of Philippine Daily Inquirer! If you didn't, read the online version here.
What’s a wedding without speeches?
My dearest best friend Aida flew all the way from 
Theodore introduces Papa who gave a sweet and funny speech (whew, no tears!).
Vince’s dad was up next. He admonished us all to take better care of our world now because we may not have a world to give to our children.
Vince and I thank our guests. I adore this man I married. Really.The evening’s entertainment
We totally abused our friendship with Kate. Not only did she create our stunning gowns, she also sang us two songs! That Yamaha keyboard is a gift from one of her many male admirers, by the way. 
My cousin, former theater actress Ate Tricia Jimenez, sang us a song, too. She was accompanied by my brother Theodore Amper and his string quartet, The Manila String Machine.The night’s undisputed star—the cake!
Well, by default, as bride and groom, Vince and I had to endure being the center of attention. We dreaded that but it actually turned out okay. Here we are cutting the cake. That cake is three full layers of quadruple chocolate—no styro! Chocolate sponge cake with chocolate butter cream slathered in chocolate glaze and sprinkled with chocolate shavings. This was the hit of the night.
