On the beautiful 3rd Saturday of June 2012 (16th day of the month), guests savored the sound of music played from a harp while they await at the church of St. Mary’s
of Winfield in Woodside, NY. At about 2:45 pm, the wedding entourage march begun…featured Mom (Azucena Valenzuela-Poblete) and daughter (Raquel Margarita) who walked hand in hand down the aisle…By the altar, the groom (Daniel Lewis Maltz) awaited to “claim” his bride…calmly Mom “surrendered” her daughter to begin the wedding rites.
At past 4 pm, Raquel & Daniel were wed and recessed to the front entrance of the church. Former high school classmates, Lolit Agustin Sison, Carmen Exconde Altman along with hubby Michael Altman and Sari Valenzuela were among the 200 plus guests who blew bubbles to cheer and welcome the newlyweds..
Reception followed at 7 pm at the Roosevelt Hotel grand ballroom….This hotel located in Manhattan is favored by many visiting Filipinos. There was a open-bar and hors d’oeuvres galore before dinner….
The newlyweds joined their guests via a grand entrance from the mezzanine balcony to the main grand ballroom floor.…
Opening dance…Mom and Daughter danced with the Valenzuela brothers of Ening……
Joined later by guests….it was a “swinging” evening…young & old…male & female, female & female dancing freely to the music of a live band…Raquel, a Julliard graduate specializing in flute, surprised her guests, played the flute with a piano accompaniment by a fellow Julliard graduate…it was a day filled with memories of a beautifully planned and executed wedding….the evening past midnight was capped with personalized wedding favors in the form of capiz-made picture frames featuring the newlyweds…..it was indeed a wedding to remember.
