With quarantine restrictions constantly keeping everybody at home, many have been able to find ways to somehow settle in this ‘new’ normal, whether through taking up new hobbies, coming up with creative activities to stay entertained at home, to using all the extra time indoors to bond and connect with our loved ones.
For Eldridge Policarpio and her partner of ten years Richelle Favor, the pandemic took a toll on their wedding plans.
“Magpapakasal na dapat kami ng partner ko na si Richelle, kaso nga lang hindi natuloy dahil sa pandemic. (Me and my partner Richelle were supposed to get married, but it didn’t push through because of the pandemic),” Eldridge Policarpio said.
Eldridge works as a Grab delivery rider and little did he know that his work will bring them their dream wedding.
Last September 26, their dream wedding came to life.
The venue was filled with flower arrangements and decorations all created by Flowers by Ginger that made the celebration picture-perfect, with everyone enjoying scrumptious dishes and desserts brought by TGIFridays and Scout’s Honor and sparkling beverages from Ram’s House of Wine to complete the celebration.
Wishing the couple a great start to their forever, the reception also had a sweet ending with a cake from Celebration Cakes by Mary Grace as well as special tokens from The Honest Market, Dean & DeLuca and Wildflour Pantry. With nearly all elements of the celebration delivered by GrabFood and GrabMart, Grab was able to help bring a momentous occasion such as a wedding to reality.
A limited number of immediate family members were also invited to be a part of their celebration so that they too could get to be in the moment with the lucky couple. Filled with laughter and merriment, the wedding was all they had only dreamed out two years ago and more.
“Kaya din pala ni Grab ibigay ang mga simpleng pangarap ng isang taong kagaya namin… September 26, Sunday… memorable talaga ito sakin— kasama si Grab. (These simple dreams of people like us are also possible with Grab… September 26, Sunday will be very memorable to me— as a day we celebrated with Grab)” said Richelle Favor-Policarpio.
This wedding of Eldridge and Richelle just about proves that, be it simply rewarding oneself after long day of working, or planning out fully decked-out celebrations and grand milestones such as graduations, birthday parties, wedding anniversaries, baptisms, to even weddings, #GrabDelivers for any situation. Day or night, rain or shine, Filipinos can always count on Grab to help elevate their everyday moments and help turn them into priceless memories.

With services such as GrabMart delivering everyday essentials within 60 minutes and GrabFood able to satisfy cravings through its wide assortment of restaurants, everyone is just a few taps away from making their big moments happen and making their days memorable – just like Edis and Richelle’s.
