What better way to start the holiday season than a celebration of love. Morgan Say and Janeena Chan got married last Dec. 2, 2023, Saturday, at Santuario de San Jose Parish in Greenhills East, Mandaluyong City.
Upon entering the church, guests were greeted with a big Christmas wreath and an aisle filled with Christmas trees. The bride had a mistletoe bouquet, with the flower girls wearing feather wings and holding small wreaths as they walked down the aisle.
Cocktails followed at The Upper Lobby of the Peninsula Manila Hotel, where guests were treated to hot cocoa, cute gingerbread cookies, and French pastry Christmas tree, as they waited for the newlyweds to enter the main lobby.
Before the guests found their way to their assigned tables, each one of them had their photos taken at the Christmas-themed photo booth and got to bring home holiday-themed scentes, too! They were also asked to sign guest cards and place them as ornaments on a Christmas tree.
Dinner followed with a live singing choir and ballet performances, with Janeena singing “For Good” from the Broadway musical show “Wicked.” The bride, who wore a Julianne Syjuco creation, also got to have her first dance with her mother, Sally Chan, which was an endearing sight to witness.
The couple also went around to ask their godparents for marriage advice. The list includes President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, President Jose Ramon Horta, Senator Lorna Regina B. Legarda, Mayor Michael L.Rama, Malou M. Rama, Commissioner Rey E. Bulay, Mayor Abigail Binay S. Campos, Jimmy Piong Teck Onn, Mayor Lucky Marie Torres-Gomez, Dr. Steve Mark Gan, Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdez, Jose Sixto Dantes III, Marian Rivera-Dantes, Philip Laude, Small Laude, Alvin Kingston Tan, Charisse Tinio, Victor Cua, Dorothy T. Tionson, Johnlu Koa, Marilou Peña Koa, Victor Chan, Sharon Gonzales-Tna, Ferdinand Pallera, and Cristina R. Corona.
The bride also prepared a surprise for the groom, as guests joined Janeena in singing a happy birthday to Morgan whose birthday was a few days after. A joyous double celebration, indeed!
