OT: TIME TO REFLECT AND APPRECIATE:

In the midst of planning and getting overwhelmed, there are always someone or something that I would remember and be grateful that Fate & God have come through for me in some way or another...the coincidences, opportunities (gotten and lost), etc.
There are a lot of things that E and I are fortunate to have and even have the opportunity to have. Some are just a few and I know this won't even cover half of why we are so fortunate but I know I will keep adding and posting as much as I can when I do remember.
  • supportive parents and in-laws: living arrangements handling and support...I love my mom...for all her unending support, love, *teary-eyed stories*, gossip (my fav!), creative criticism, my mental conscience and support, endless prayers to her whole family, over-the-top ideas and all (!);

  • wonderful and "miracle-worker" aunt, IS, in the US: for helping my parents with the living arrangements and for my special surprise for my big day (whether it will push through or not...it's really a wonderful thing to even have the opportunity to invite them to my big day);

  • Supportive siblings...nephew...friends...cousins...;

  • helpful and easy-to-talk-to suppliers: from my coordinator, printer (I'm sure that she's getting a lot of "discussion time" with my mom on the invites and still has the smile on her face. Amazing!), hotel associate, florist/stylist, photographer, MC, dressmaker (onshore and offshore), projector and sounds supplier, etc (!);

  • endless friends who are always and forever with me on whatever questions I may have with regards to this wedding plans;

  • company support and endless non-monitored overseas calls and activities I may squeeze into my work hours and even to the point of helping me talk to the souveniers supplier!- KC, Ali, MW, PP, Alo, LL, EW, etc (!);

  • The Almighty...for His undending guidance in this relationship from Day 1.

No words can express how much E and I are blessed and honored to have all of you be part of our lives. From the bottom of our hearts...THANK YOU!

Invites, Misallete & Registry

Our Invites: Check out my invites below! It's purely a "labour of love, sweat and stealth". I got so many great comments on this. So thankful that the work. Props, of course, to Write Impression for a wonderful job they did. Misalette: Church finally approved our misalette for our wedding. Finally!!! It was lot of ping-pong around till my officiating priest put his foot down and told me that if they do not approve it, he will really tell on San Agustin's priest. Funny but after the "approver" read my misalette for the third (3rd) time, she finally gave in. Can't wait to see the finish product of this. It will have the same sort of motif as my invite above. :) Wedding Registry: Ed and I had tons of fun...more of me...with deciding what to put on our wedding registry. I had my mom with me to give us some helpful tips and suggestions. It was a great day and it was like "kids in a candy store". :D Wedding Cord & Other Items: I also was fortuna...

Our Rings Are Done!!!

His Ring...from J's Concept, IFC My Ring...from Chan Kwong Kee Jewellery Co, Central We had tons of funs trying on a lot of rings. While Ed's requirements were easy and can be bought off-the-rack, I had to resort to customizing things on my own. :) It's not exactly as the original design that I wanted since I had some specifications like the diamonds to be embedded and having the ribs be smooth. It all turned out so well! It all finished before I headed back home on August 29. So happy!

Metro Magazine: Best of 2008

Image
Some more wedding related news...our wedding was featured at Metro Wedding's Most Stunning Weddings of the Year (Best of 2008). It was truly an honor. The magazine wanted to focus more on the details and the wedding in general than the preparations so I provided more photos on details, decor, etc. It was nice and different. Oh...and my supplier list is a like a mile long. I thought they were going to sift through and decide what would be relevant to the readers and space. I didn't know that they would have it all in there. :P Check out the article below... There were some typos/mistakes: 1.) exchanging my mom's shoe supplier with mine. I love my shoes and it's by Rene Caovilla. 2.) some of the quotes were either "Joy" and "Cheryl"...both the same person...me! 3.) fyi - the photoshop/edit of the cover photo was odd...I don't remember it being that way. Oh well... There was another bride that I used to work with - Marsha! Very cool wedding indeed.....
