the march 20 happenings

i was supposed to put "ten ten TEN" as title but i changed it to "the march 20 happenings" coz' a lot has happened in that day, our day was very exhausting yet it was really fun !

we are scheduled to have free "prenup" in fernbrooks, so i asked him a month before so he could fit in our prenup in his tight schedule, we need to be there by 1pm so we could check all photogs available for prenup, but since bonnie has to finish his job pa, we arrived around 4pm, i was very nervous bec. we might dont have prenup anymore, because it will be closed by 5pm,but then again i took the situation patiently, i told myself this should not ruin my day, i really thank god bec. metrophoto, my dream photog was there pa, including atty. fortun, we got 5 photogs in 1 hour session, metrophoto, raymond fortun, richie macapinlac, imaginenation - erron ocampo and gracielle and peppermint media, i was happy, bonnie is hmmm... tired, hehe !

ooopppsss.. sorry i can't share it pa kc our friends might see it eh, it will spoil our AVP in our reception ; )

next, we waited for 7pm for w@w anniv party, we initially wanted to stay for 1 hour lng kc we thought of bea but when we saw the party, bonnie talked to my FIL and asked them to take care of bea, so enjoyed the night, we had fun on photobooth and met pot and noly and shi and migs, we had so much fun, we love the food, we love our get up as well :

we love our shots here in fotobrew : )




made to each other daw oh !


wala ng iba ! hehehe !

fotoloco is sooo damn best ! i love our afro style hair costume !




i love pary pics, i'll asked bonnie to book them instead of other photobooth ; )



with pot and noly, we had 8 poses so we could have 1 copy each, what a tiring shots, hehe !



with pot and noly again !



and then i received a call that i got a job ! whoooo... i love march 20 so much ! bonnie hugged me and kissed me on the forehead, we got so much blessing! : )

fab jennifer behr headpiece

after talking to corinna (my co-w@wie) about birdcage veil, i can't help thinking what kind of headpiece will i use, it has to highlight and go with my gown as well,then again, i started browsing the net, i stumbled when i saw this headband, i know i saw this already, my mind is thinking so fast... yes ! it was anne curtis who wore it, i so love it... it was love at first sight but the price ermm... well... i know bonnie will definitely say no to it... but it was lovely, it will make my hair looks beautiful, my gown will look like a "designer's made" i can wear it on the reception after i remove my veil, i can have a second look, ermm... how on earth i could have it, how?!

one of our best selling styles and a celebrity favorite! this braid of six woven strands of Swarovski crystals, finished at back with our trademark elastic, is now available in several colors.

photo booth session

yesterday we went to picc wedding expo, after a long night of huge row with my husband, we still decided to go to the expo, we had so much fun in fair, he got to know some of the photog and videogs and taste all cupcakes and minicakes, so yummy ! : ) then, i asked him to go with me in the photobooth area, i was nervous bec i really want photo booth in our wedding, i am crossing my finger, hoping that he'll like it, i told him " let's just have some fun ok ! "

first stop, fab foto, it has 6 shots i love what we did here and the wigs and gun, hehe !


then we saw snap photos, i heart our shots here, especially punch shot and adidas shades shots, hehe ! finally i punched my husband... hehe !



spicephotos dont have countdown, so we just pose and pose ; )



lastly we tried pose and print, i like the ouput and design, i was kinda carried away, i almost booked them on the spot : )



we had so much fun doing it, i know all our gust will rave on it, after trial with all photo booth ; ) bonnie told me that we will have photobooth as souvenir in our "big day" yehey ! : ) he liked snap photos because of the 1hour free, but i like pose and print, but then after the big fight, i just said ok then i'll book snap photos, but i'll try to convince him to consider pose and print maybe tomorrow, he might have a change of mind ; )

the programs were tied in different polkadots ribbon


even the bouquet

to veil or not to veil

they say that if you already have a baby there's no need for you to wear a veil, you can already show your face inside the church, but for me i would still like to wear a veil and be modest, having this in my mind, i decided to wear a birdcage veil, this will make me look reserved and of course classic : )


i love katherine heigl's veil



and i think i will put some swarovski crystals to my veil to look fab !

polkadot fashionista !

i always think why all bride wear shoes that is same fabric with her gown?! isn't it fabulous to highlight the shoes as well?! i dont know if i can find these shoes, but i will definitely search my fave malls to find my dream bridal shoes

i adore this shoes.. i sooooo love it !


black and white polkadots or pink and white polkadots? you choose ; )

my dream wedding gown

after a hundred of gown designs saved in our PC, having some misunderstanding with my husband, i finally found "the one" , i was very certain in the style that i want, i like ballgown or a-line style,sweetheart neckline and chapel train only.

i so love it..

my pink and polkadot inspiration boards

i was definite in pink+silver+hint of black motiff, but when i saw a website about polkadots-themed, i thought why not polkadots?! it's so in today and so unique, take a look at my polkadot-inspiration-board:




i love pink, i live by my name.. even when i was a kid, i told myself i will have pink in my wedding, our motiff will be pink, silver and a hint of black.

here's my pink inspiration :

first wedding accomplishment

last nov 2008 we decided to finally start our preps for our upcoming wedding this dec 28, 2009 : ) bonnie gave me a task to look for church and venue, i only have one choice in my mind, being a SAC bride is all i wanted to be, so we had our first church and venue hunting in intramuros area;

first and only choice?! san agustin church, i so love the church, but when we inquired, the only time available for dec 2009 weddings is either 11am or 7pm which bonnie don't consider : ) since i'm so makulit, i asked bonnie if he can consider having a morning wedding, well.. he said NO, ok then let's just call off the wedding, that's the first thought came in my mind, bonnie took the time to explain to me why he did'nt want to consider it, first, we are night person, ermm... yes our whole family can stand up to 3am, second, garden reception will never be as beautiful like i saw in the pics, third, he did'nt want me to rush on my preps on my wedding preps, ok then i agree, so i asked what to do, he told me why not manila cathedral, then i inquired through website, dec 28 is available at 4:30pm, whoaaa.... bonnie said yes, we will get married in manila cathedral : )

nex stop.. venue and catering, this is somehow a difficult for me bec. i initially wanted the intramuros garden, but after adding all the cost involve, we need to settle for an alternative venue, we went to villa immaculada, but i dont feel any spark, we just go home and search the net, finally, i saw venue + catering, patio victoria is the answer to our prayers, i so love the place and the full package is so amazing, i got free bridal car, free cake and sound system and corkages are discounted, we visited the place immediately and pay for downpayment, i love diana garden and its design
