Love and Sisterhood: How These Sisters Planned Three Consecutive Weddings in 11 Months!

Sisters are like your built-in-best friends. Even before you meet “The One,” you have your sister as your partner, supporter, expert advice giver, and so much more. Your sister knows your heart and soul, and though you might not agree on every little thing, you will always look out for each other! When it’s finally time for you to walk down the aisle, you’re sure to have your sister right there by your side, making sure everything goes smoothly. This is true for the Agoncillo sisters Isabel, Chiqui, and Mickey. With so much love, support, and incredible organization skills, these sisters were able to pull-off all three of their intimate weddings consecutively in a span of 11 months. We were able to learn more about Isabel, Chiqui, and Mickey’s stories, including their wedding planning experience, and we’re sharing them with you right here. We hope the Agoncillo sisters will inspire you, too!

First of the three sisters to get married was Isabel to her now hubby Mico. Having to change their wedding plans more than once, Mico and Isabel were finally able to have a more laidback and simplified wedding with a colorful Filipiniana twist. Bright hues, modern ternos, beautiful blooms, and a bespoke menu from their favorite restaurant are just some of the elements which made their special day memorable. The best part was getting to spend time with their families and feeling the love from those nearest and dearest to their hearts, even on video call! Isabel and Mico’s wedding was also a family effort. Even without a coordinator, they didn’t need to worry about any mishaps with Chiqui, Mickey, and the rest of their family members helping out. These photos captured by Jaja Samaniego show us how fun and chill Mico and Isabel’s day was.

Next to walk down the aisle were Patxi and Chiqui. Since Patxi and Chiqui both work in the agri-food sector, they thought of taking inspiration from Francisco Manuel Blanco’s (a Spanish friar and botanist) classic written work Flora de Filipinas as well as agricultural and organic themes for their wedding aesthetic. Much like Mico and Isabel’s wedding, this couple also had a no-frills event. They held a very relaxed and intimate lunch reception in the comfort of Chiqui’s parents’ home with their immediate families and closest friends, delegated on-the-day coordination to each family member, and of course treated their guests to great food and drinks. Martin San Diego, an independent documentary and editorial photographer, captured every beautiful moment!

Finally, it was Joey and Mickey’s turn to say I do! They initially planned on getting married in their favorite city, Kyoto, but since they couldn’t have a destination wedding, they brought Japanese-inspired contemporary design and cuisine here instead. Mickey also shared with us that she was nervous about her bridal march, and she was even dreading it for a while. But when their wedding day finally arrived, her walk down the aisle became such a beautiful moment that she would gladly do all over again. Since Mickey was the third of the three to get married, she was also able to gain some helpful tips and advice from Isabel and Chiqui. Check out these photos by Aya Cabauatan and Mico Gonzales to see more of Joey and Mickey’s special day.

Now we know what you’re thinking! Isn’t it bad luck for family members to get married in the same year? Hindi ba sukob ‘yan? For the Agoncillo sisters, superstitions did not matter. Celebrating love, cherishing relationships, and strengthening bonds between families will always win.

You can definitely tell that Isabel, Chiqui, and Mickey have such a tight and loving bond with one another as well as with their two younger sisters. They’ve spent most of their lives together, from the day-to-day routines up to the biggest milestones. So, celebrating their weddings and helping one another with the preparations is something they each welcomed with open arms. And beyond wedding planning, they have always turned to each other for the best advice and lessons on love and life.

The Agoncillo sisters truly do remind us that in celebrating your wedding nothing else matters than the love of family. If you also have amazing sisters in your life, don’t forget to give them a hug and thank them for always having your back!
