Here's two more pictures of me and my younger daughter. These are taken when we attended a wedding in Angeles City, Pampanga. I was one of the "ninangs", a Filipino word that means a female primary sponsor in a wedding or child christening. Filipino weddings often begin late than the announced time of start and ceremonies often consume a lot of time because of speeches, songs, and presentations among other things. But the atmosphere is one of joy and pleasure as Filipinos love doing weddings this way.
A typical Filipino wedding would have 20 to 30 primary sponsors, 16 - 20 secondary sponsors, and a whole army of relatives are often present on both the bride and the bridegroom's side. The processional march alone takes time and the programs after the ceremony are always too numerous that guests often leave the occasion without finishing it.
This particular wedding we went to was supposed to begin at 2PM but started at 4PM. We left the place at 8PM while the program is not yet finish.
