This is how we do it in Sagada. During wedding celebrations, we often prepare food for guests either in cellophanes, paper plates, or banana stems. When weddings happen in our place, it is expected that residents from nearby barangays and relatives from other municipalities would come. There would be hundreds of guests to cater to and so the family of the bride or groom would have to prepare many pigs, carabaos or cows to butcher. Two days ago, I came back to my hometown after finishing my midterm exams. Yesterday, there were 2 wedding celebrations and I went to help on one. At 10pm we started to prepare the food for the visitors. During that time, I thought that we would be feeding less people since there were two wedding venues and the locals would be divided. When 12noon came, we started giving out food. It felt like the queue had no end. We have given out all that we put in the cellophane bags but still, it seemed like people on queue weren't decreasing. The servers were hungry but we made sure everyone was fed. The lunch service was finally concluded at 2pm and I went home to rest after that.
