A Can’t-be-Missed Blogpost: Darlene, My Runaway Bride

It was exactly 1pm in Tagaytay. The sun was scorching and we’re on a standstill for quite a while already in Amadeo road. There was a marathon happening in the main highway at that moment and all traffic were diverted to this narrow alternate route.

I was inside Mervin Gobaco’s vehicle, all cramped with 6 other people including Bea, one of my shooters. For a lack of better things to do, I got my phone and tweeted this exact phrase “stuck in a gridlock in tagaytay including bridal car. Ceremony at 1pm in lourdes. =(“

So yes, the bridal car was behind us among with the other cars of the suppliers, we were late for the ceremony and there was nothing we can do. Well, I thought there was nothing we can do but Darlene had other plans. After getting a call from her coordinator that she will have to skip the bridal march if she arrive more than 30mins late, my awesome bride, stepped out of her car, and ran, oh yes she RAN carrying and dragging her fabulous Veluz gown with her! She passed by our car and we all looked at each other in disbelief. And after a few seconds of trying to make sense of what we saw, we were already running with Darlene – the whole mile stretch of the road where all the vehicles were stuck.

It was like a scene from a movie, only this one is real. hahaha. after about 15 mins of running, we came at the intersection where everything was clogged-up and asked, actually forced, a tricycle to take all of us (all seven of us) to the church which was another mile away.

At exactly 1:30pm we arrived at Lourdes Church in Tagaytay, where Gboy was waiting. We’re all burned and beat-up but in such high spirits. We all couldn’t believe what just happened.

Darlene went on to have her bridal march – one of the most awesome I ever experienced as it seemed that she started her march when she decided to run – and everything else was perfect. =)

This is a blog post you shouldn’t miss to see =)

And there goes my Bride =)

From a vintage Mustang to a yamaha! weehoo! =)

Sorry Manong, I didn’t consider you as part of my budget. hahaha =)

Eddie Bruan was with us all the way, and was sitting at the back of the Tricycle beside me. He did an awesome job and looked 20 years younger as he seemed to ran faster than me. hahaha.
