In a delightful twist on traditional wedding favors, Niño and Yanna, a newlywed couple, took their souvenirs to the next level with a unique giveaway at their wedding reception. Instead of the usual ornaments, candles, or magnets, the couple decided to offer a bounty of fresh vegetables, all harvested from the groom’s farm in Laguna.
Guests were treated to a diverse selection of produce, including siling labuyo, rambutan, sitaw, beans, talong, okra, upo, patola, ampalaya, coconut, sibuyas, bawang, pipino, and dahon ng sibuyas. This innovative choice not only showcased the couple’s personal touch but also provided a practical and generous gift that many found both refreshing and useful.
While we often expect wedding souvenirs to last long, this couple’s approach has redefined expectations. Filipino guests, known for taking food home from events, found this gesture particularly satisfying. Instead of just packing leftovers, they were given a variety of fresh ingredients—making it a win-win situation. At least now they get to choose what they want to cook, rather than just carrying home the remains of the buffet.
The unconventional choice of vegetables as wedding favors has left many mothers and home cooks thrilled. Instead of pondering what to cook, they’ll head home with a basket full of fresh produce, making meal planning a breeze and alleviating one more decision from their daily routines.
Amid rising prices, this gesture has been seen as a welcome relief and a thoughtful contribution to the guests’ daily lives. Social media users have been abuzz with positive reactions, celebrating the couple’s inventive approach. One user remarked, “Very practical sa maaaahaaal ng gulay sa Pilipinas!” Many others have highlighted how unique and appealing this kind of event is, expressing their enthusiasm for such memorable weddings.
Adding a touch of humor, some comments echoed the popular TikTok phrase, saying, “Very demure, very mindful, very considerate, and very community-minded.”
The couple’s decision to give away homegrown vegetables instead of typical souvenirs not only added a personal touch to their celebration but also provided a practical benefit to their guests. By integrating fresh produce into their wedding favors, Niño and Yanna made their special day even more memorable and meaningful for everyone involved.
