Last time I shared you the list of Philipine’s Wedding Photographer hand picked by your very own. As the day comes or what they called June Bride, I believed that most of the couple out there are planning to get more serious in their relationship bind by marriage.
But as I search and go through the net, I find an intersting facts that June is not a Wedding Month but its May.
Contrary to popular belief, most couples don’t exchange vows in June. Base from the website of manilastandardtoday.com by Roderick T. dela Cruz.
The National Statistics Office dispelled a widely held belief that Catholic priests administer most weddings during the month of June when it said most weddings have actually taken place in May before a judge or a politician.
“For four consecutive years, May, the month of flowers and festivals, was consistently the peak month for getting married,” the agency reported over the weekend.
“Riding on the ‘fiesta’ occasion may be one of the factors that influenced the choice of couples to marry during this month. The daily average of marriage occurrences during this month was 2,189,” it said.
However, Joey Rivera, Cebu-based Digital Minds Videography shares the same idea saying that there isn’t a very significant event in June “but the romantic notion of being a June bride. Although most of the couples these days do not place much significance on the month but on practicality, they set usually the time for preparation as the basis of setting the date”.
