Since the reason we got to Boracay was to attend a friend’s wedding, I thought it was only proper to post something about it here.

But first, before that, let me say that this is our first time to attend a beach wedding. You see, since we’re Catholic, and the Catholic Church has already banned the celebration of weddings outside of parishes, there was no way for us to have a beach wedding of our own (even if we both wanted it and if by some miracle we get to afford it).

Anyway, the groom was someone I met in my previous work as a medical sales representative in a very reputable company. We both trained for 3 months and worked in the same area after training. I guess, among the many individuals in the batch, we were the ones who clicked. I helped him out in the tests. He taught me how to sell properly. That’s how we started out. Afterwards, we became buds. Sadly though, after a few months in the field, we decided to pursue our own separate paths. I went on to teach.

So far so good. We’re on our last day of stay here in Boracay and we’ve managed to accomplish several tasks. We’re able to visit the famous Jonah’s shakes, scour the island’s many seafood buffets, and successfully introduce mateo to the beach.

I know it may not be much but andrea and I have decided to narrow down our objectives to just these. Why? For one, mateo is not big enough to appreciate all the sites and sounds of Boracay. That’s why we didn’t go island hopping or engaged in any of the various water sports here. Second, this is not going to be our last visit here. I promised andrea we would come back someday when mateo’s old enough and ready for the other things that Boracay has to offer. Who knows? Maybe he might even get to snorkel!

For now, andrea, mateo and I are just relishing the feel of the sand and the beach because it just might be a long time before we get to try all these again.
