Honoring Tradition: How Andy & Steve Included Their Culture and Furry Friend in The Celebration


As Andy and Steve planned their disco elopement, they knew they wanted to incorporate culture and honor traditions. They decided to infuse their celebration with elements that were important to them and reflect Andy's unique background.


One way they honored tradition was by having a special & delicious ube, cake made by Hello Cakery & Macarons. Ube is a root vegetable native to the Philippines and long used in our desserts for its delicate, earthy flavor, and striking color. Steve also wore a barong tagalog, more commonly known simply as barong (and occasionally baro), is an embroidered long-sleeved formal shirt for men and a national dress of the Philippines. This added a meaningful and personal touch to their elopement.


In addition to honoring culture, Andy and Steve also included their fur baby Adobo in their celebration. Their beloved dog Adobo is a part of their family and they wanted him to be present on their special day. They found ways to incorporate him into their ceremony and even included him in their elopement pictures. This not only made their dog feel included, but it also added an element of fun to their celebration.


By infusing their culture and Adobo into their elopement, Andy and Steve created a celebration that was true to who they are as individuals and as a couple. Their unique and personalized touches added an extra layer of meaning to their special day and made it a celebration that they will always remember.,
