Table Names

Some guests have asked me to post all the other table names with their descriptions, so here they are. They get a little redundant sometimes because they're really meant to be read individually, not as a whole.

1. Malvar
   On Malvar Street, only a few houses apart, Nicole and Julian lived their separate lives, unaware of each other’s presence. Funny how two people can live so close by for years, yet only meet on the Internet.


2. St. James
   St. James the Great Parish is a magnificent church that houses the community which Nicole and Julian belonged to -- the community that caused them to meet. They always dreamed their wedding would take place here. Nevertheless, it will always occupy a special place in their hearts.


3. Shine Through
   In 2001, the St. James Renewal Movement held a concert entitled Shine Through, for which Nicole danced and Julian played guitar. It was here that Julian first laid eyes on Nicole. It wasn’t until years later, though, that they finally met and learned each other’s names.


4. Moira
   In 2002, the St. James Youth Praise Ministry produced the theatrical play, Moira, wherein Nicole performed and Julian was part of the technical team. This was the second time Julian got to see Nicole, yet he still didn’t get a chance to meet her during the production.


5. #Shaddap!
   In 2003, through the power of chatting on the Internet, in the land of Undernet, #Shaddap! on mIRC, Nicole and Julian met and got to know each other. It may have been love at first smiley. :)


6. Tequila Rose
   After chatting with each other for a couple weeks, Nicole invited Julian to share a bottle of Tequila Rose, left over from her 20th birthday party. It was over a glass of this liqueur that Nicole and Julian first met face to face.


7. Taft
   Nicole and Julian’s respective colleges were located across the street from each other, along Taft Avenue. This made it easy for them to hang out before, after, and in between classes. Their first date was along this avenue.


8. Pancake House
   Nicole and Julian’s first meal together was at Pancake House on Taft Avenue. Julian’s credit card was denied, embarrassingly, and Nicole had to foot the bill. Of course, this gave Julian a chance to owe Nicole another date.


9. Cuenca
   Long walks, talks, and warm hugs were shared at Cuenca Park, located just down the street from Nicole’s house. In was here that Julian revealed to Nicole that he had plans to marry her.


10. Burg 902
    Nicole spent a semester living in Burgundy Towers, just down the street from her and Julian’s respective schools. Julian was a welcome guest, and it was here that Nicole’s roommates witnessed the couple’s friendship bloom.


11. Baywalk
    Nicole and Julian’s first evening date was at Baywalk in Manila. Julian wanted to show Nicole the prettier sights that Manila had to offer. He couldn’t go wrong with a stroll by Manila Bay, lit by colorful lamps and interesting people.


12. Breakwater
    Most of Nicole and Julian's first evening date was spent by Manila Bay's breakwater. They spent hours listening to the crashing of the waves as they talked and learned about each other.


13. Gothika
    After several months of “hanging out,” Nicole and Julian finally went on their first movie date. They chose to watch Gothika over Torque, and quickly learned that they are both scaredy-cats.


14. Chow King
    Nicole and Julian shared countless meals at Chow King on Vito Cruz. So much so that when Christmas came around, management handed them a small token of their appreciation.


15. 10/01
    October first is Nicole and Julian’s anniversary. They couldn’t get a wedding appointment on this date, so they settled for the one closest to it... Today!


16. Santa Ana
    Nicole and Julian were civilly wed in the Santa Ana Courthouse on June 28, 2007. It took them a while to save up for “the big church wedding” but they’re happy to finally be celebrating with family and friends today.


17. St. Denis
    Nicole and Julian chose to sanctify their bond of togetherness in St. Denis Church, their beautiful new parish, where they attend mass every Sunday. They are happy and proud to be part of this community.
