Santuario de San Jose and Wedding Songs

I attended a wedding yesterday with Aleron in Santuario de San Jose. saw a very unique idea for flower arrangements during the wedding.


I couldn't decide whether I liked it or not. Deal breaker for me I guess is whenever I look at the arrangement, the song "Paper Roses" comes to mind.

I love stained glass windows in churches. So here I go taking pictures of the stained glass windows in Santuario de San Jose. 



Aleron was the choir singing for the wedding. Of course I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to hear their wedding repertoire, hence, with my lumbar support and walking stick and all, I braved sitting on the hard pew to hear them sing love songs. Of course my favorite would be Ikaw Lamang while the bride was walking down the aisle. That song always manages to send shivers down my spine, in this case, even if the lower part has a slipped disc.






As with all weddings, there are some quirky songs that must be sung, because they are requested by the bride and groom. In this case, I ended up wondering whether they were John Lloyd Cruz fans, because they requested A Very Special Love, and Now That I Have You (I dare not tell you who John Lloyd was paired up with in those two movies lest I be accused of being jolog as well.).

So after the wedding, Aleron decided to eat out, which will be the subject of my next post. Keep you all posted where we ate!

Aleron - The Winged One


One of the things keeping me busy last December was Aleron.

No, I don't sing for the choir - I'm just one of their huge fans.

I attended their Nativity Concert last December 8, held in UP's CRL Chapel. They're mostly composed of alumni and current members of Ateneo's choirs - ACS and the Glee Club. I sort of helped out during the concert, made sure that they were able to record the entire concert - so I had to run up and down the stairs leading to the choir's loft in CRL every 12 or so minutes, so that I could reset the camera.

Here are some pictures from the concert.



I'm sure you'll be hearing more from this group. If you're planning weddings, I would suggest that you try contacting them so that you can hire them to sing during the mass. I'm actually planning an event sometime March for Easter and if approved I'll be getting them to have an Easter Cantata after the mass.



If you need to get in touch with them, just feel free to call or message Miggi Angangco 0920.9055175 or Mari Gutierrez 0917.5026698.
