Beach Wedding

Beach Wedding in Mati

When you are  invited and has pledged to it, than you also have to go: to a wedding directly on the beach, a beach wedding. And this is all in Mati and about 165 km away from Davao.

If you have overcome the stop-and-go in Davao and  are driving to the north, than you are  surprised  about the beautiful wide streets that come starting  from Panabo and Tagum with a few traffic. Here you can  really go well. The reason might be that  probably the streets were built first  and  later the places around.

In the middle of Tagum you have to turn right and drive on the other side of the Davao-Bay in the direction to the south . And now you can "learn how to drive": it goes on-and-off in many curves along the mountain and on the other side of the road  it drops steeply down to the beach. You have the feeling to have  a mountain pass in the Alps.

Sometime that's come to an end, and with  a wide panoramic terrace you look then at Mati, with its port facilities, which are being expanded greatly.

The wedding was on the next morning on the beach  in the district Dahican. And a wedding on the beach at sunrise and a registrar- judge  who then smashes a song for karaoke box. That's something special. These ladies were dressed in long, colorful dresses and wore big hats - not only because of the sun – the  men, however, in white clothing. It was served plenty to eat, incl.of 3 sucking pigs. In addition many small cakes, cup cakes  and tarts. The whole family of the bride side must have baked  vigorously  and garnished the last days. It was a really nice event.

And it culminated in the afternoon with swimming in the "Blue-Bless_Beach resort" in Dahican, where you get a place only by long reservation. And you are forced to eat again and to drink.And in between you take a bath  in the clear, blue water. Simply nice.  This event you will remember.

With best regards,
