WEDDING DESTINATION
A
wedding schedule held at Transfiguration Chapel of Caleruega gave us the
opportunity to commune with the soul. The feeling around is hypnotic. The cool
breeze felt at the top of a hill overlooking a vast green of trees and shrubs
on mountain slopes. The powder blue clouds covering most of the sky above with
birds flying around. The chapel is small that seats a hundred to the maximum
but the sensation inside is different from the rest of the churches elsewhere. It
is conjuring. It makes you kneel and pray.
The
wedding ceremony started past 3pm. We were at the loft where wedding musicians
are stationed. No need for a sound system to be heard and more solemn without.
No need for rushing because that was the last wedding that took almost 2 hours
including the pictorial after the ceremony.
Before
leaving for the reception, most of the guests with the couple had shots around
to catch up with the afternoon gleam. No need to rush but take photo memories
from such supernal place. It will not be often being at Caleruega.
The
trek from the chapel to the reception took us around 30 minutes. We passed a shortcut
to avoid an ongoing road construction. Reaching the reception venue was no
bother at all because we were made to rest as guests came in. If I was not
mistaken, there were more than 200 guests dressed properly.
The
program started after an hour with the flair of smoke, confetti and our music
as the couple was introduced. We did the mother and son dance, followed by the
father and daughter dance and finally the traditional first dance.
The
dinner started with our wide-ranging music that took around 45 minutes, some
minutes rest then our second set of another 45 minutes before our dinner, too
when the program was nearly done.
Weddingmusicians from Manila like us seldom complain even when tired and weary for our
mission is to add success to an event. The pay is small but the joy of sharing
our music is big.
