PLEASE READ before you freak out over this whole roasted pig aka lechon 🐷 I know a lot of people feel squeamish by it, but lechon has a special place in my heart as it represents what I feel being Filipino is all about: coming together in celebration and being resourceful with what you’ve been given.

A whole lechon is the centerpiece of a fiesta that can feed a small village (or in our case, 100 wedding guests). The rest of the parts of the pig that western cultures are either scared of or simply throw away are instead used to create even more delicious food like sizzling sisig made with pig face, crispy pata that fries up the trotters, and lechon paksiw that stews the leftover roast pig in lechon sauce and vinegar. Nothing goes to waste, especially when money is tight as it is for so many in poverty in the Philippines.

This whole lechon meant so much to us on our wedding day: a reminder of how blessed we were that our parents sacrificed to get us to this place, and how thankful we were to be sharing this precious gift with everyone we love on such a momentous day. #Profeta4Eva #IndulgentEatsOahu @ Kualoa Ranch & Private Nature Reserve
