Despedida party / Civil Wedding

Last Sunday, we had a despedida party for our friend Jon. He's a seaman and he'll be away for 6 months. We're going to miss him.

They say there's a lot of money for a seaman, i'm not sure if i will ever let eric be a seaman if he asked me. Good thing he's not thinking about it.

We really had fun that night.

Before the despedida party, I attended a wedding with my MIL. It's the wedding of laverne, eric's bestman during our wedding and one of his bestfriends. It was so unfortunate that they only had a tent set up then it rained. Eric was supposed to give a speech but he wasn't able to come due to unforseen event. FIL was one of the principa sponsors but he was with Eric at that time, so my MIL proxied(is there such a word?) for him.

I wish the newlywed the best! According to Noemi(bride), they've been a couple for 8 months before they decided to get married. They both came from bad relationships and they don't share the same religion. I'd like to see them prove that love conquers all...sabi nga nila, against all odds :)
