John and Sarah's wedding in Boracay, Philippines

It is hard to believe that this is the 3rd  overseas wedding in less than 12 months that we have been invited to.
This wedding I have to say was amazing, Sarah had planned the whole of the day and what a day.....
To summise Sarah suprised everybody ( even the groom) by not being traditional and walking down to the beach, but graced in an exclusive  Vera Wang dress  which fitted her like a glove, arriving from the sea in a yacht and landing on the beach- this was just the start of the surprises ....

Another surprise was a fan very useful  as the temperature was close to 35 but with a twist,  having the story of there first meeting, quirky details of planning of this event and a word search- with pencil..

So much was packed into this day, an after dinner  show followed the meal

 and to round up the evening at midnight all the guests jumped into the pool

It was truly an amazing  wonderful day that I would not have missed for the world
