Mark Emmanuel Longjas and Maria Salome Aparicio Nuptials
This was another wedding celebration fully planned & coordinated by “SMILE”, Philippines with Gloria Leodivica Ines Araneta as Managing Director. This wedding took place five (5) years ago and as the husband and wife celebrate their 5th year wedding anniversary this month, let us try to take a look at the wedding rites that happened on September 17, 2016.
After all preparations were done at the Bohol Tropics Resort, the key players of the church ceremonies, including the guests and friends, were ready to proceed to the Elijah Chapel at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary for the 3:00 p.m. wedding rites with the officiating ministers led by : Fr. Val Pinlac with mass commentator, Gloria Leodivica Ines Araneta.
The dominant color of the event was emerald green and with this shade, the bride, Maria Salome “Mhai” Aparicio, looked very elegant. She was 26 years old at the date of her marriage. The groom Mark Emmanuale “Chao” Longhas, equally looked dashing. A year older than his wife, Mark is a registered nurse who, momentarily, prefers to run his own business instead of practice his profession.
Both Chao and Mhai met in 2008 during the Flores de Mayo event when they were introduced to each other by Charmaine Caga, a friend. Both the groom and the bride are from Tagbilaran City.
After the church ceremonies, the wedding reception followed at the Dagohoy Grand Ballroom of Bohol Tropics Resort, again, with Gloria of “SMILE”, Philippines as Master of Ceremonies. Efficiently and professionally covering the photo and video coverage was Artline of Mark Ramasola.
