My Ever After.

I never thought my preparation for so many months would just commence in a few hours. I never thought that last minute glitches would still be present - but like stress, they come uninvited all the time. But the beauty of it all is that no matter what had happened before and during the day itself, it all comes to my conclusion - that everything was all worth it. Worth all the stress, the sleepless nights, the pain from all the agonizing feuds, and from everything that I had dealt all along the way came floating away as soon as I became ONE with the one I love. I am so grateful to all special people who made my preparations seem easy and bearable. Grateful to family for always being there. And for all those people who included us in their daily prayers - GRATITUDE goes to all of you.

Our invitations were beautifully made by The Write Impression.

Seconds before I walked down what it seems to be a very long aisle...

My purse was made by a good friend, Kieth Bitor. His line is called Enviya Prive.

My beautiful Bridal Bouquet was put together by a talented lady named Atit Cortes. These flowers arrived a day before and must be handled with utmost care because it is very delicate. 

My Wedding Gown in its shining glory. I went for the Classic design because I know that when I will look back many years from now, I would certainly and still be in love with my dress. My gown was made by Nora Lucia Dominguez.

My sister-in-law Lucy insisted on getting me a custom-made shoes for my big day for comfort sake - and yes, it did get me by the wee hours of the morning. It was so pretty that I didn't want to wear it. It is made by Lila Almario.

Our Bridal Car.

Inside the Church for our Nuptial Ceremony. We had 8 priests to officiate our Wedding.

And so we did it!

Much thanks to Lucy for helping me with all the details to this give-away. It has a powder blue-colored rosary and a small wind chime that says "Let love grow." 

Our cake was made by cousin Tina Santiago of Tina's Sweets. It is the most beautiful cake I've ever seen. I am not being bias and all but it really is beautiful. 

I will never run out of Sweets.  

I had a buffet set-up for it. 

I am counting my blessings. Most especially that my ultimate one is the gift of love. The love that has changed my life and changed my view of life itself. I see the world differently know - it has become more beautiful each passing day. If we only take time, take time to smell the flowers, time to walk on lovely seashores, time for a cup of coffee while watching how the sun sets lovingly, and time to gaze upon the moon who brings us light on each bright evenings then perhaps all will be well, better and great.

Let love grow.
