Martin and Marzia wanted their wedding to be a blend of both their cultures, Filipino and Italian. The result was an intimate gathering of family and friends wrapped in a festive atmosphere.

Here’s the very relaxed bride:

The couple hired mimes to guide the guests from the church to Casa Manila which was just across San Agustin. I guess mimes aren’t only for kids…

Not to be outdone, Martin and friends sang Hotdog’s “Manila” and some VST classics:

The night was characterized with a lot of drinking, singing, drinking, toasting, drinking and dancing. Did I already mention the drinking part?
