As the planning gets underway, the nuts and bolts of place and logistics will need to be complimented by the personal. Part of this will be putting elements of our respective cultures into effect in our wedding. Of course this is not a kind of unique statement or aim. I think a mirroring match of background or culture would be exceptional among the couples we know. Like a lot of people in our cohort, probably most of the weddings we have been to are combos of various sorts. I think I learned much of what I know about certain cultures and traditions from these experiences, and I hope to pass on the favor to others with our wedding.
This aspect of the wedding will also be a way for us to explore our respective cultures more and find out some new things that, as first-generation Americans, we sometimes took for granted or pushed aside with undue haste. A chief part of this will be developing important parts of Filipino wedding traditions in the ceremony and reception, on which there will be much much more to come.
