The first of our back to back wedding weekend was in my hometown, Davao City. Our college friend, Paolo was getting married to his long-time sweetheart Elle. I first met Elle when Paolo brought her to my house during Stan's pamamanhikan back in 2006. Initially, I thought about letting just Stan fly to Davao to attend Paolo's wedding. However, since Paolo accompanied Stan on that 9-hour non-aircon bus ride from Cagayan de Oro to Davao City about 15 years ago when he was still courting me, Stan insisted that we should be present - in full force. It was also my chance to visit my hometown so I didn't put up a fight ;)
