A report on Visayas-based Bombo Radyo said the couple exchanged vows at 9 a.m. last aturday before Father Ted Tanalgo at the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish Church.

The groom, identified only as "Lolo Romeo," wore a white barong while his bride, identified only as Juliet, wore an off-white wedding gown.

Lolo Romeo's eldest son and daughter brought him to the altar, while Juliet was escorted by her parents.

Juliet's sister was maid of honor while Romeo's grandson was best man. After the wedding, the newlyweds went to a house built by Romeo for the reception.

The newlyweds met at a money changer shop where Juliet worked. Their relationship lasted a year before they decided to tie the knot. - LBG, GMANews.TV
