The party was on Saturday, June 27, 2009 at the Pearl Chinese Cuisine in Rancho Bernardo. About 230 family, relatives, and friends joined us in the celebration. The event
was video recorded by Nick's productions and also provided the music. Brenda Charest (Henry's niece),welcomed all guests and Christine Kuhl (Madelyn's niece), gave us blessings. Both co-emceed the program. We had singers Sonny Bitanga, Cynthia Deynata, and Madelyne's 3 nieces, Danise, Danielle, and Eliza Edra. Thank you so much for your talents. We also shared a video montage of our journey in bringing Maelyne home, which brought tears (of joy) to some of the guests. After the slideshow, some people showed their moves on the dance floor. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed the party and had a great time.
It was a special day for us especially for Maelyne. It was really nice to see family, friends and relatives come together all in one roof for one purpose, to share the joy with us. We are so blessed to be surrounded by loving and wonderful people. Maelyne will probably not remember anything that happened in this occassion because of her young mind, but we will share her the story and show her the video later in her life.
Thank you to all who have joined us and to the ones who couldn't for any reason (we have missed you). Special thanks to the wonderful people who have helped in the preparation and made the celebration possible. You guys are awesome!!!
