The details

Saturday, 17 October 2026, at 4:00 in the afternoon, at Jesus the Counselor Church, 428A Saint Francis Subdivision, San Juan I, General Trias, Cavite. The reception follows at Servando's Restaurant, beside MV Soriano Medical Clinic in Rosario, Cavite; its doors open at 6:00 PM, after the couple's photographs at the church and the drive over. Both maps are on the Details page.

Formal attire in any of the blues from the attire guide. White is reserved for the bride and the groom, and please choose colours other than red or black. If you are in the entourage, your outfit is drawn out on the Details page.

Yes please, by 5 October 2026, and as early as you can manage before that. The final headcount goes to the caterer about two weeks before the day, so replying early is a real help. It takes two minutes on the RSVP page.

Only if your invitation names them, and that is purely a numbers problem rather than anything personal. The list is capped at 100 and every seat is already accounted for. If you are not sure who is included in yours, just ask Erick and he will check.

Guests are warmly invited to arrive from 3:00 PM onwards. The ceremony begins promptly at 4:00 PM, and it would be a shame to miss the walk down the aisle.

Carlo and Kristinne have their photographs taken at the church after the recessional, and the reception is in Rosario, about half an hour from the church in General Trias. The doors there open at 6:00 PM and the programme starts at a quarter to seven, so there is time for the drive and not much more. If you are not sure what to do in between, ask Erick.

Doors open at 6:00 PM, the couple come in at a quarter to seven, and the send-off is at about ten. Dinner is called early, at about seven, with a full 45 minutes set aside for it. Nobody is counting who leaves early, so please do what suits you.

Several, and you are in the first one whether you planned to be or not. The evening opens with a dance that Erick leads, and the winners take the first photograph with Carlo and Kristinne. Before dinner there are ten trivia questions about the couple, and the winners eat first. After the bouquet and the garter come the Cinderella game for the gentlemen, a game for the two winners, and a last game where five players guess song titles for prizes that are described as trips.

Yes, once, and it is the loveliest part of the evening. When Carlo and Kristinne cut the cake and raise their glasses, the whole room sings Panalangin to them, karaoke style, slow version. Nobody is being auditioned, so please just join in. If you do not know it, there is time to learn it before October.

Yes, parking is included at the reception venue. Church parking will be confirmed closer to the date.

No registry. In their own words: your presence on our special day is the greatest gift we could ask for. If you wish to bless us with a gift, a monetary gift would be sincerely appreciated as we begin this new chapter of our lives together. Thank you for your love, prayers and generosity.

#CARLOobNgdiyoskayKRISTINNE. Please use it on anything you post. It also means the photographs you take can be gathered into the shared album on this site afterwards.

Please put your phone away during the ceremony itself. The photographers have it covered, and Carlo and Kristinne would love to look out and see your faces. Everything after that is fair game.

Both the ceremony and the reception are indoors and the reception venue is air-conditioned, so rain changes the photographs and not much else. Bring an umbrella for the walk between cars and you will be perfectly fine.

On the Gallery page, from the day of the wedding onwards. Uploads are checked before they appear, and everything in the album can be downloaded at full size by anyone.

Erick, the best man and host, is looking after guest questions and is happy to help. His details are on the Details page.
