It’s not a party but a celebration of 25 years!
Metro Manila Society darling Czarina Ablaza-Syquia and her husband, renowned orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Jofe Syquia celebrated their 25 years of marriage last October 23. It was the exact day as when they first tied the knot 25 years ago at the same church of Santuario de San Antonio in Makati City in a Ben Farrales gown.
For this silver wedding anniversary, Czarina wore a Steve de Leon creation and wore diamond and cameo tiara set in 18k gold designed by the bride’s brother, avant garde designer and jewellery specialist, Jun Jun Ablaza. They were joined by their five lovely children, Alfonso, Agu, Azi, Amanu and Azia. The Catholic church service was done by the groom’s brother Father Jocis Syquia.
The reception party was held at the ballroom of the Manila Polo Club, again where they also held their reception 25 years earlier. This time around they invited 250 guests to mark 25 years of blissful marriage. The décor was done by the team of Jun Jun Ablaza and transformed the ballroom into an affair of candles pearls, feathers and flowing silk.
Attendees were in dressed to the nines in their best gowns and suits and were fed by Asia’s best chef, Margarita Fores. The celebrants added a surprise at the reception and 25 lucky guests were given a piece of jewellery for being able to attend and share their joy during their anniversary.
