Any Filipina brides out there?

Just wondering!!!
Just wanted to see if you guys were going to include the Barongs, veil, cord, and arras

Re: Any Filipina brides out there?

MOST DEFINATELY!!......and especially the money dance!!!

both FI and I are filipino....so we're gonna do all the filipino traditions....and his uncle is giong to be the officiant of our wedding, so that should be fun!

Re: Any Filipina brides out there?

hi girls!

i had the traditional catholic-filipino wedding with the candle, cord and veil sponsors...

we are both filipinos, so it was nice incorporating those traditions for the non-filipino guests...

i did not have time to do the money dance at the wedding, and actually decided it wasn't necessary...

any ??? about the programs, order that the ceremonies go, etc. feel free to FM. also if you do a search, there are tons of filipino websites that explain each ceremony, so you can add those in your programs if you choose to have them.

good luck!

Re: Any Filipina brides out there?

hey girls!!

both my FH and I are Filipinos
everyone's wearing barongs at the wedding and our moms will also wear the pina dresses...
we're doing the veil, coin and cord at the ceremony..
don't think we're doing the money dance..

i'm wearing an ivory lace dress and people have told me that it's very Filipino ( i didn't know that)
so FH and I will match the whole wedding!!

aww really? that's too funny, it's also my BM/cousins 21st bday that day.. she's not very happy i chose her bday for my wedding esp her 21st

Re: Any Filipina brides out there?

Fellow filipina here!!! I thought I was the only one!!! Yay us!!!

I'm marrying an italian so we have to incorporate some of his old world traditions as well. But we are definitely doing the veil/cord ceremony. What is the arras? Also no money dance for us either, not enough time at the reception.

No barongs for us, FH calls it the paper shirt . My dad will wear a traditional tux too.

Re: Any Filipina brides out there?

Hi Ladies-

This is not a Filipino wedding tradition but I am having my cousin (who is also my MOH) sing a Tagalog song during dinner. I am thinking that perhaps she can sing Kailangan Kita by Gary V. or one of the Filipino traditional love songs: Gaano Kita Minamahal.

Great to see that there are several of you out there!

Ingat!

arras is the coins to represent wealth....i think...

really...then I'm doing the arras and didn't even know it. my mom took care of that one.

i would've liked to have the barongs too but fh is italian and at least i got to incorporate some of our traditions.

hey, we're both getting married at St. Brigid's in Westbury! Did you grow up in the area?

Re: Any Filipina brides out there?

Hey ladies need help with the arrangement of the ceremony... In what order do we do the veil, cord, unity candle and the coin exchange?
Thanks

Re: Any Filipina brides out there?

I'm doing it coin, veil, cord - not sure what the coin exchange is.

Re: Any Filipina brides out there?

I think the coin exchange is the arras....

Re: Any Filipina brides out there?

yeah gotcha - and we're not doing the unity candle.

plus we put a modern twist to things:

for the coin ceremony - thirteen of our friends are 'sponsors' and will bring up a coin that we picked up during our travels.

for the veil ceremony - our parents are the 'sponsors' doing this. symbolizing uniting our families...

here's more explanation of the changes...
