The Keeping family had chosen to give the newlyweds 12 meters of silk fabric, 1 pound goat cheese, two bottles of fresh goat milk, ground coffee beans, basket full of mangoes and lemons. Dried fish and smoked salmon, champagne, mosquito net, blanket and 2 pillows and bamboo bed.
From Amelia and Stephano: A basket filled with freshly handpicked guava and star apples, a basket of pineapples, 2 bamboo chairs, and a bamboo table.
After all the gifts were revealed, Loren and Jenna thanked the whole party and they both each gave a warm speech which made the young ones so impatient. Jolina stand up immediately and turned on their phonograph to play an Italian march song and other music to the delight of the old ones. The whole family and clan savour the day filled with laughter, gifts, lavish food , drinks and music good to the ears dancing square dance and non-stop polka.
The couple's incredible stylish wedding in the heart of the jungle thousand miles away from civilization, a beautiful wedding and reception from sunrise to sunset finally is over at about 10 o'clock pm.
