Andre and Andrea's Wedding

Last December 18, 2006, Andre Gutierrez and Andrea Tan exchanged "I Dos" in the Gutierrez residence garden. The Gutierrezes, Tanquiluts, Aguirres, Tans, and other close family friends were in attendance.

Justice De Leon, a good family friend and neighbor of the Gutierrez family presided the marital proceedings. Kuya Andre and Andrea exchanged personal vows.



Godparents were also present to witness the ceremonies. Here's Tita Lody, signing the contract.



Tito Vlad and Tita Jo both gave speeches the couple and the guests will never forget.

4 Days Till the Tanquilut Family Christmas Party

Every year for the past 20 years, it has been Tanquilut tradition to celebrate Christmas Day at the Geocaniga house. I actually just realized it now, but this year marks the 20th year!

Trivia... We started having Christmas Parties at home since Tonton was born (December 16, 1986).

Last year, we had a blast with the games, dance numbers, drinking, and give aways. We're hoping this year will be just as fun (or even more fun!).

What's in store??

Bad Santa - This activity was such a hit last year that it's making a second appearance. So please be ready with your P100 gifts. Gifts which are more than the minimum value are most welcome! One gift per person/participant please!



Drink Up! - Just like most parties we've had at home, the drinks will be overflowing! Sparkling and red wine, Tequila, and Vodka will be our companions for the evening.



Family Portraits - Prepare those showbiz smiles for our Family Portraits! These pictures were taken in our 2004 Christmas Party.



I'm still thinking of games and activities! If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

More family updates to come...

Congratulations Erick and Ate My!!

This just in! Erick and Ate Mylene have been approved for their US VISAs! Woohooo! Erick has been granted a working VISA, while Ate Mylene has been granted a dependent VISA. Both visited the US embassy this morning.

Congratulations guys! Ate My reports that she could not wipe the smile off her face. She and Erick will be leaving after Christmas.

Quick Family Updates

Hey guys! I know I've been the delinquent blogger. So here I am! In an effort to redeem myself for my blogging hiatus. Quick Family Updates!

The Paraguas will be venturing a new chapter in their lives. Hopefully together!! Erick will be cross-posted to another Accounting office (partner of Punongbayan-Araullo office here in Manila) in California, USA. Please pray for the favorable results of Ate Mylene and Erick's interview, scheduled this Thursday.



We are requesting for more prayers. Lola Pacing, our very dear Lola Ganda, was recently diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas. Her family and the rest of the Aguirre clan are saddened by the news. The Moraleses are making the most of their time with Lola Pacing. Lola is doing ok though. She is thankful for the life she has led and feels blessed to have lived past 80. We wish you well Lola Ganda!



Ianna's parents, Kuya Andre and Reia, are tying the knot in a civil wedding ceremony on the 18th of December. A small salo-salo will follow after the ceremony. Coincidentally, the 18th of December is also Tita Baby and Tito Ned's wedding anniversary (tama ba mga Gutierrezes?). Congrats in advance Kuya And and Reia!



Wedding coordinating team, Carol, Tita Gina, and myself (Tenten), worked together last November 12 for the nuptials of Milyne Naguit and Mark Castro. Syempre may mga matching outfits na kami!

Tita Gina, by the way, is 2 months pregnant! We're all crossing our fingers that it's a girl this time!
