Yes, I'm getting married!
It was January 2011, we are sittin in their living room... kulitan, asaran, tawanan.. then he hold my hand look at my palm, and told me 'lab, mukhang hindi ako mkkatuluyan mo..' and i ask him why? with terrified face expression.. he said 'magkaiba kase ang guhit ng palad naten'.. i don't know what to react.. I just hugged him and started crying..
You see, we're in a relationship for 5 years, but the 4 years of that were in a long distance relationship. So, i felt terrible just thinking how long i've been waiting to be with him, how much phone calls just to hear his voice, how much airfare just to see him, sleepless nights thinkin bout spending my lifetime w/ him, nonstop use of skype and ym just to keep in touch, broken keyboard and laptop batt for over usage... and what else? for the undying feeling of lonesome and for missing him like hell.? Tell me, who won't breakdown to tears knowing he's not the one you've been waiting for??
I hugged him tight till the last drop of my tear, he keep on saying it was just a joke but i cried anyway. He go upstairs in his room, i get ready coz we are going to our friend Ria, i went to the mirror and wait for him. When he finally go down, he lend me something.. i knew it! it's the ring... i smiled.. as in big smile like a kid given a candy to shutup.. then he asked me "will you marry me?" i said yes, and he put the ring on my finger.. i keep on staring at the ring (kung ilang bato meron!) lols, and he keep on telling me "this is not the right time for me to propose.." and i said.. "ulitin mo!!" haha! It wasn't the proposal i expected.. the most unromantic proposal ever! no kneel down, not a surprise either, no candlelights or going somewhere special.. but what the heck! I will going to marry the man i love anyway.. Yes! I'm getting married!

Monogram First DIY Project October 21, 2012
At first, i don't know what's DIY is, but WaW opened the door of art for me and teach me the Do-It-Yourself stuff that makes this wedding preparation cool, fun and exciting! Thanks Wawies! I want to start my DIY w/ Monograms, coz this serves to be our wedding logo. I just want a simple one, and here's what i came up. And I'm so happy with the outcome, my Ensho is so proud of me.. Verygood daw ako. hmmn, I'm still waiting for my prize Beyb! haha!
The Church
Our first plan was a Beach wedding, coz it has a significant meaning to our relationship, but while I'm browsing for wedding stuff i bumped over this small yet old chapel. I thought it wasn't located in the Philippines, but due to my curiosity i found out that it's in the heart of Manila. I'm xo amazed! and xo excited to searched more about the place. Nastarstruck ako talaga.. haha! I'm always an oldskool fan and xo head over heels of Vintage stuff. So when i saw this Chapel, i said "This is where i wanna get married.." I asked Terense about it, we talked and reviewed the pros and cons of beach wed and church wed.. So in the end we agreed to have a church wed and of course with the chapel where i feel the "This-is-it" feeling!
It is St. Pancratius Chapel in Paco Park, a small old dome chapel which is in the heart of Manila. This is good for an intimate wedding like ours. When terense made an ocular visit with the church, he was impressed with the aura and structures of the church. It was built in the Spanish era, and was a former cemetery, which everyone finds freaky.. lol.. well, thats the catch..

Themes and Motiff
grab in the net, not mine.
We don't like it to be too formal but not too informal either, we just want it to be a little loose or something.. We want it to be fun and light as our personality reflected it.
Vintage themed wedding is so iN these days, me and Terense were also inlove with oldskool stuff. Our church is an oldskool so we decided to have our themed oldskool. So, since we decided to have an outdoor reception, i added an elements of nature to have our wedding to be rusty and retro, a Rustic-Retro themed wedding will be so perfect for us.
About the color used, i decided to have this retro color that makes our wedding fun and more rustic.. really suit us as a couple. Orange coral, aqua blue, with a touch of matte yellow color will be so perfect in our rustic-retro styled wedding..

The Rockinduo Photo and Video
A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed. A friend of mine told me about Rockin, they were not yet a duo before. I liked them after seeing their pix and vids and with their former price... They rocked me instantly. But when I’m ready to booked them, their rates increase that I’m totally having a second thought of getting them.. But then again, they are the only one i keep on looking back. I am happy to say that i made the right decision booking them, yes there is a second thought at first because they are still coping up and still new in the business. But now, i was so amazed on how they grow in their field of expertise. It's really important that we trust every supplier we booked, coz we booked them for a reason. Now, i am confident that they will rock us on our big day! yeah!

OTD On-the-day Coordinator
Actually they are the third supplier that we booked. I heard good feedbacks about them in W@W, actually there is a lot of coordinators and a good one but maybe i just like their name more.. haha.. but I'm really glad that i booked them because they are really generous coordinating. Charisse also is so hands on, on our wedding. I feel so at ease with her and that's the most important for me, being comfortable with someone i am going to work with is really a plus factor. She is so generous helping us on our wedding, even though we just booked them on the day only. Really a w@w find! Charisse know how to reach out and communicate. She has a fun side and know how to handle jokes which is an additional plus on our relationship. We are going to be a team and the chemistry is important. I am so thankful that I'm with the right OTD.. I am really confident that everything's gonna be awesome with their help on our big day.

Darlene Tan-Salazar Emcee
Darlene is a w@w find, I got her as our emcee in the W@W auction last November2011. After Ms.Benz informed her that we are the one who got her services, she immediately emailed me ask some questions and did a sample program for us. As we all know Darlene is known on her coordination services, and i heard really good feedback on her coordination on how she handles it well. I just hope she can nailed being an Emcee too..
Christina Macasio HMUA
The search is over finally... I can sleep na coz i finally booked the one that will makes me beautiful on my big day. To tell you frankly, at first i thought of not having a makeup artist on my wedding and let myself do it. But i don't wanna be so stressful and rushing things over on that day, so i looked for someone that will fit my taste.
When i saw Tina's profile she sent me, i never imagine how good she is. The transformation of her bride really impressed me. I immediately booked her even without having a trial, I am just so confident that she can make me more beautiful and blooming on my wedding day. You can check her portfolio by clicking her pic or..
