Kat + Anton's Wedding {Brea Community Center}

One of the characteristics that stand out about Kat and Anton as a couple is that they love their friends.  Yes, the 16 person bridal party and the VIP treatment they received is one evidence of that. 

They also had the longest processional I've seen.  It was great!  Their Filipino background meant they've got a large family and people you're not related who you call family.  Family is important.  I learned from this wedding that they have Sponsors - grown ups usually older than them who support them in lots of different ways.  $$$ being one of them.  Cha Ching!!  Coming from a Korean background, I get it.  We have a similar kind of support system where our parent's generation (and their friends) lavish gifts on the children who get married.  But with a Filipino wedding, the Sponsors get to be part of the processional AND they get a seat on honor in the ceremony.  That was so heart warming.  Again, it wasn't just about the couple.  It was about the people are involved in the couples' lives - the community... the family.  

Ok, I know they care a lot about their friends and guests, but I just have to say a few words about the couple. Kat and Anton.  They are a fun couple!  They are also adventurous, active, smart and hot, but they are the first to admit that they both have a geeky side.  Speaking of fun - Anton gets the Best Dancing Groom award.  He gets so into the music while he's dancing - as if he is putting every ounce of this soul into the moment.  Kat gets things done.  She's the one who organized the details of the wedding without being excessive, but having it be AMAZING and meaningful.  As Anton said in his vow, she does everything so well and sets a high standard that she inspires everyone around her to want to be better.  She can also kick off the heels and party when she wants to!  

It was a blast being a part of this day.  You could tell there was so much love being poured out on this couple who gives to much to their friends and family on all the other days!
