This will be the part two of the wedding of my friends' wedding and this time, it's the venue that we went after the vows in the Church which is INC (Iglesia Ni Cristo).
For the venue, it took us more than 10 minutes of traveling of going there because it's a little far away from the church and it's a venue that is overlooking at the top where I can see lots of trees below and also the road from below.
After we arrived, there were snacks that they prepared which are fries, some mini burgers, mini pizzas, drinks like lemonade, coffee, also the milk tea.
There were also a photo booth where we can took photos of ourselves and then we can have the photo after several minutes.
Then, there is another giveaway that I didn't expect, I think this is the modern giveaway and they were keychains, wallets, ID holder, mugs, scarves, soap, fan. Also, they have a perfume booth where we can choose a smell of a perfume and we can get a small bottle of it but we need to present a coupon and give them to the booth itself so that we can have our free giveaway. For me, I choose the male perfume and also the wallet with my name engrave on it.
On that note, I can say that this is not the usual thing that I experience in a wedding before because in a wedding, we can listen to the hosts and then after that will be the dinner but here, they prepare a snack that will full out stomach before the dinner and we can also listen to the hosts and the flow of the program.
I asked the groom on why did he setup like that and he just said that it's better for the people to have a snack before the program so that while the people were listening, their stomach were filled with something than waiting for the dinner to come which might led to people go outside and will not listen to the program anymore.
During the program, there were lots of activities that they made and to entertain to the people who were listening and witnessing to the newly married. At first, we were having something like a tiktok dance for our entrance into the mini stage and we dance from our requested tiktok dance but I don't know how to dance but I just go with the flow with the dance with my partner.
The place is really extravagant and I thought that I would only see this kind of decorations only in television and I see it at that night. There is also a cake tower that is taller than me. Maybe, someday, I will have this kind of wedding with a modern type of wedding and not the usual thing of wedding because I also want to be a memorable wedding because that is once in a lifetime that can happen in my entire life.
The program was a success and there were mini games that the hosts prepare like bring me, guess the song, and then the most iconic thing which is calling all the singles for boys and girls in the front but this time, the hosts said that we only need to put down one of our shoes and then we will go in the front door and after that we can go run and put our shoes in and the last who put on their shoes (for boys and girls) will be the one in the center or stage.
We didn't expect that the game was setup that they paired it all beforehand and they sneakily hide one of the shoes from the one of the boys and the girls purposely. So, in the end they setup my other friend to get them together and also "they will do what the couple do" in that game.
We had lots of fun in that wedding I also have lots of fun for that game that is being setup from the hosts to my friend and he didn't expect that, too.
I thought that there were opening of gifts like the smallest gift and also the biggest gift but there weren't maybe because it's almost midnight and most people need to go to their respective houses after that.
From that experience, I really enjoyed that wedding and I think that will be my most memorable experience that I experience for a wedding in my whole life.
After that, we bought some small alcoholic drinks because I knew that this would happen a small gathering after the wedding and we did drink a few together with the friend of the groom's wife.
We just talk about things and then we shared our experience about the things in life some make jokes and others were eating chips while drinking some alcoholic drinks. We had lots of fun on that night and we also congratulate the two newly wed couples for their married life.
