Engagement Shoot

This is one of the things I was looking forward to last September! But like the wedding, it was something I don't know what to expect. We did not have any plans on how to do this, no idea what to wear, where to shoot, what we liked, the theme or all those stuff!! All of the ideas were sort of came from whatever comes first hahaha!!
So initially, I wanted to deviate from the garden shoot as those are too typical. I've been researching about pre-nup locations and this blog had been really helpful. I wanted to shoot at Pinto Art Museum but later found out it was mighty expensive (haha) so asked around and one of my friends (Drew) told me about Ronac Art Center. So when I texted Ralph to book the session, I immediately panicked for the location and called Ronac up! For the outfits, my friend Drew Ortega of K Event Architects combined ideas for us! It was super helpful as he both know Dale and I. The props that we used were only the D <3 R, some books and Dale's cycling stuff. We minimized everything because I felt the venue will speak for itself (and it did!). It was a beautiful sunny day and I think we were lucky because during night time, it rained so heavily! I realised how tiring it is to smile for 2 hours straight!!!! Hahahaha! Imagining how long I'll be smiling for the wedding LOL. Here are some photos from the shoot (I created this blog to prevent myself from flooding social media hahaha). All are too lovely!!!!

Reception Venue Hunt

Until now we haven't booked our reception venue, I KNOW!! When we booked Hizon's, Irin panicked that until now we hadn't decided yet with the venue. Initially, we wanted North Forbes Pavillion and our minds was set to it. But because we took too long to arrange the booking, by the time we actually went to the office, it was already booked. Anyway for Makati weddings, you can check them out.

The Church Hunt

The biggest piece of them all, where we say "I Do". Dale and I were both Thomasians. So of course, we wanted to get Married and the UST Church. There was no second thoughts at first, we dropped by as early as September 2013 to book the Church. But admin people told us that they'll start reservations for November 2013 after the semestral break. So we waited.

The Promise

One of the things I'm most excited about if the Wedding Vow. Well I'm not even sure if personal vows are allowed at St. John Bosco, haha! But I'm excited to write one. I was looking at Facebook when I came through this article . It was a blog about revising your own vows you made during your wedding, something more realistic. She said, " Yes, marriage vows are meant to be idyllic and inspiring, to remind us that true love still exists, to bring an entire room to tears. Our wedding day promises are about love and hope and how we'll come from our best, not about housecleaning or self-development or what to do when we feel like murdering each other. Imagine the nervous laughter (or horror) if someone vowed to only hate her husband for short periods of time? None of us can possibly know at the outset what our marriage will bring or what tools we will need. Marriage has challenged almost every assumption I had about myself and my husband. It has asked me to stret...
