A few years before CD-R King, there was Global Village in Ayala
On one of those visits I bumped into Ramon, who was working there
He told me the Metro Group (Gaisano) was needing an IT staff
So I applied, was interviewed and then hired.
We knew each other since college and got to work together at the Metro
I even remember how we sneaked out to the mall for lunch during pay days
Or cross the street beside Quest for some sidewalk pochero.
We got to know Olin too, because we worked together at the Metro
More than a decade ago, it never crossed my mind that these two would marry, you know?
Well, there is always that possibility but who would have thought?
In that regard, I’d say this is one of those times that their tagline stood it’s ground
That there is always something for you
In this case, someone for you at the Metro!

It’s been quite a while since we shot at Crown Regency
These pictures make it appear like there was no one when in fact it was crowded with bridesmaids
What you thinkin’ Olin? Something for you or something for me?
Something for you most definitely.
Ramon showed up so we had to…
The guys room was crowded too.
Are you ladies messaging yourselves?
She was a flower girl at a wedding I shot back in the summer too!
Rossini, a schoolmate from college, did the honors of being the bestman.
I wonder what we were talking about here.
Ramonlito!
This is a case of black and whitesssss.
The guy in the middle is a classmate when I was in 1st year college. Bai Mark!
2 Black and many whites.
Ramon and his family.
Olin told me they rarely have a decent picture together so we made use of it.
Hello Olin. I guess, there’s really something.
And I’m glad to be part of it, you know?
No lack of color here.
I liked this line up at church.
No looking back.
And here we go!
I guess kids pray at church too.
I think it was our first time shooting at the Shrine of Perdo Calungsod.
It took us a while to move forward with the vows because Olin can’t contain her laughter.
Exhibit A
Until it was over they were still at it.
But there were some serious moments too.
And it is sealed. Cue, Gaisano Metro jingle. “where you will find everything you need, keep that in mind.”
We walked up to the chapel above for some post nup pictures.
And a little bit having some fun.
It’s always great taking pictures there.
Time for some alone time.
And walking pictures.
And like nothing pictures. If you know what I mean.
The reception was held at the Beverly View
Which is now air conditioned. Yeah!
We lit sparklers before starting the party.
The grown-ups enjoyed the confetti as you can clearly see.
Here’s Olin and Ramon dancing with Olin’s parents. And I just have to put it out there that in all the years that I’ve known Ramon, 2 freaking decades to be exact, I’ve never seen him this happy. And that’s what I gotta say about that.
The couples game had a dose of big people dancing baby shark.
But Rossini apparently was up for it.
I also saw familiar faces from weddings I shot earlier in the year. Thank You Ramon and Olin.
