Where should we bring/send our wedding gift?
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you would like to honor us with a gift, you can have it delivered to 301 5th Avenue, Unit 707, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. A wedding card box will be at our reception.
Are there any cultural traditional or best practices guests should be aware of?
We will be having a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony.
In addition, we are incorporating several Filipino Catholic traditions that take place after the exchange of vows. These include the Arrhae (coins), veil, and cord ceremonies, as well as the presence of Principal Sponsors (ninong and ninang). These symbolic rituals reflect unity, lifelong commitments, shared responsibility, and the support of our community.
Guests do not need to participate -- they simply represent meaningful cultural expressions of our faith and heritage woven into the Catholic sacrament.
Will there be a time gap between your wedding ceremony and reception?
Cocktail hour will begin immediately after the ceremony, seamlessly transitioning into dinner and dancing at the Omni William Penn Hotel.
