Ron weds his Sassy Girl

THE moment we learned that Sheryl Guillemer will finally glide down the aisle, we knew it would be a magical event not worth missing. Typical of her expressive nature by the way she bares her heart online for all her friends to read and see (the photos), Sheryl practically introduced to the world the love of her life via Facebook months before the actual event.

There was an outpouring of approval from friends and loved ones who liked and posted their congratulatory messages for months. The lucky guy turned out to be Ronald Chwieroth. What’s not to like about him? A handsome fella from Philadelphia, Ron is well-bred and a successful chemical engineer, financial analyst and computer expert. Quite a catch if you ask some of Sheryl’s girlfriends who have been keeping their jealousy secret.

To those who know Sheryl, everything has to be colorful in her life – including her love story. But this part of her life wasn’t that eventful even as she went in and out of a few relationships that were not entirely meaningless if only for the lessons she learned along the way.

Beneath the gloss, Sheryl -- the free-spirited, modern, 21^st century party girl -- is a serious romantic after all. Every afternoon she would pray in front of the altar of Sts. Peter & Paul Parish Church, asking God when she will walk down that aisle. She’s not alone in her prayers, though. Parents Jun and Beatty Guillemer wanted a secure, happy future for their only daughter.

The turn of events was miraculous when Sheryl was introduced by her aunt Ma. Lucita Morhead to Ron on Oct. 10, 2010. Miraculous I say because aunt Lucita turned out to be an experienced matchmaker who successfully paired her own sister Gilda Guillemer-Capala to Harvey Moles of California.

The rest is history made on Planet Love. But some well-meaning friends couldn’t help wonder how Sheryl’s bubbly personality blend with the mild-mannered Ron. But there shouldn’t be any worry about that after the couple pulled off a successful wedding bash.

The event was actually a glimpse of how they would complement their differences. The red-motif wedding was all Sheryl – from the entourage’s upbeat entrance in the reception, to the program’s music and games. Most applauded was the on-site video created by France Arrogante of Cebu.

Not to be overlooked is the ceremony that was administered by Msgr. Jaime Villanueva and Rev. Fathers Dennis Winston Son and Ramon Fian Jr.

Sheryl’s parents were just glad to see her get wed, though dad Jun looked uncomfortable during the couple’s 30-second kiss. It was THE event for their family that was witnessed by people from here and abroad. There was aunt Lucita and boyfriend Harold White from California, the Moles couple also from California, Brad Lee Deaman of Australia and Jean Kruska of Germany.

Friends and loved ones flew from Cebu, Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Bohol, Manila and even Singapore. For its success, Sheryl would like to thank France Arrogante for the excellent videos, Ralph Matres for the stunning photos and her talented classmate Sheila On for the makeup.

Also worth mentioning is the presence of nine priests namely Rev. Fr. Michael M. Arevalo, Rev. Fr. Gilbert G. Urbina, Rev. Fr. Alejandro V. Avelido Jr., Rev. Fr. Rodolfo P Barro, Rev. Fr. Melvin T. Insigne, Rev. Fr. Restituto A. Lumbre Jr., Rev. Fr. Martin Cubi, Rev. Fr Herculano R. Tabada, all from from the Palo Archdiocese, and Rev. Fr. Conrado C. Sedillo Jr. of the Cebu Archiocese.
