Hello
I met my husband in Florida and that is where we got married. We knew before we married that we were going to go to the Philippines for our honeymoon. We wanted to go to the Philippines for two reasons (1) my parents were born there (I was born in the USA) and (2) Someday we may consider retiring there.
We had a garden wedding. It was small (25 people) and in an outdoor setting with flowers and a pond. I made my own wedding cake (see avatar) and we even did our own music.
After the wedding we took off to Manila Philippines where it is a shoppers delight for us ladies. We stayed at the Shangri la hotel in Manila. Beautiful place. Here is a link if you want to check it out:

When me and my husband renew our vows, we are thinking of doing it at Shangri la hotel.
Oh, forgot. Want to show you a picture of me and my husband at TAAL Volcano site in the Philippines during our honeymoon. So young
