Kasalang Filipino 2011: The Bucolic Charm of Weddings in Nueva Ecija

Rice figures prominently not only on Filipino dining tables but also in Filipino wedding practices. In pre-colonial times, rice is exchanged between families to solemnize marriages. And then there is the "rice shower" still practiced in wedding ceremonies.

Where else can you best shower your wedding with rice than in Nueva Ecija - the “Rice Bowl of the Philippines"? And if you think Nueva Ecija only has the popular grains to offer for your destination wedding, think of having its luscious rice fields as your wedding backdrop or having the bucolic charm of Nueva Ecija tourist spots, such as Gen.
