After more than a year of
preparation, we finally tied the knot. Contrary to what others claim that
wedding itself is so tiresome, I never felt any of it. In fact, I felt
energetic and just happy. For me, it
felt like a fairy tale. That after having been through good and bad times,
finally happy ending is happening.
Inception:
I woke up at 7am, went to have breakfast with my sister and her kids. I tried to do my vow by starting with the verse I read on the Bible. But nothing followed. I was nervous. At this time, I was still waiting for my bridal gown to arrive, but I was not worried. I’m confident with my designer Hallie Vy.
I took a bath and then everyone came;
my family, the wedding coordinator team, followed by the make- up artist and
hair stylist. After few minutes, Ryan Ortega my photographer came with his
team. They started taking pictures. Jo, my make-up artist started my make up
after my sister had finished. And then Bob Nicolas, my videographer came with
his team. I sat on one corner, read my bible. I tried to write again my vow,
but to no avail. Thus, I prayed and asked the Holy Spirit to just don on me and
let me say the things from my heart for I know that there is no way I can write
my vow.
Photo and Video Shoot
The photo shoot in the hotel was
fun! There was not any pressure or uneasiness because I was already comfortable
with my suppliers. They're so easy to work with. Not to mention so hilarious. Shoot there pose there, I enjoyed it. I felt special.
All flowers are from Vatel Manila!
Ride to the Venue
My sister, one of the coordinators
and Ryan rode with me. Laughter filled the car with Ryan’s joke. I was a little
bit nervous; nah, really nervous. I stayed in the car for a good 40 minutes I
guess. Though it felt like an hour or 2.

The moment
Waaahh! There goes the butterfly
in my stomach. Walking down the aisle was nerve wracking. My palms were
sweating and even my armpit. Hahaha! But I could not explain how blessed I am
to be celebrating one of God’s gift to me and Karl, the holy matrimony. Truly
the Holy Spirit made me speak my thoughts while saying my vow. For me, our
wedding ceremony was simple yet brought so much great words and lessons to all
of us. Special mention to our officiating pastor, Pastor Tito Almadin, we feel family
in him.
At the party
Now here I agree when they say
that during weddings, couples are far from getting full from the food, it’s
really true. Karl and I ate so little, we did not get to enjoy the sumptuous food
catered by K by Cunanan. But it’s ok. We took home food from the party and ate
it in the hotel.
I love weddings and I fell in
love twice in my own wedding. Surrounded by family and friends, made it extra special.
