Congratulations Pao and Aileen!

I had met Pao's brother Noel Zarate several years back on a project involving music for a musical play. I like the guy because he was funny and easy to work along with besides the fact that he did great orchestral arrangements. Now he's usually seen on TV as a bearded sportscaster.
Years later i would have the pleasure of working with his younger brother, Paolo or Pao as he's known in the music world. Pao is Jon M's arranger for most of his project... since he is a very funny guy as well as one of the best young musical arrangers in the land, not to mention that he is a very good vocal coach and backup singer. He has done arrangements for Erik Santos, Sheryn, Josh Santana , Vina M and countless others. He also produced OJ Mariano's debut album for Reddmon Productions. A former member of the singing group Quarter to Five and the UST Choir and studied music at UST.
I play guitars on almost all his arrangements for Jon and since i mix those songs i eventually came to being a really good friend to Pao. One thing i won't forget about Pao is that he actually convinced me to go to Gym and actually waking me up to remind me that it's time to go to the Gym.
I know how hard it was for Pao to be in a long distance relationship since Aileen works in NYC and how faithfull and devoted he was to their relationship... I promised Pao that on his wedding day i would actually attend wearing formal clothes. I believe in wearing comfortable clothes to work in the studio hence i'm a shirt and shorts guy.
The wedding was wonderfull and really unique since the UST Choir was there togetherwith wind and strings players from UST of course, and the groom sang Gary V's Kailangan kita while the bride was walking down the aisle. Oh the wedding was at the Christ The King Church in Greenmeadows.
The reception was at the Peninsula in Makati and the guest included other arrangers and musicians as well. I had a great time renewing acquiantances and friends i haven't seen in a long time. All in all it was a wonderfull wedding and i'm very happy for Pao and Aileen and i wish them the best of everything.
It saddens me though that Pao might go to NYC to join his wife. But i know he'll be successfull in his endeavors and that he'll make a good husband to Aileen.
Congratulations my friends...
:-)
