Finally!! We got to see SOME of the Professional pictures that was taken on our wedding day. This has put the cherry on top of my WORKING WEEKEND(cuz i work every other weekend).
My Make Up Artist, Geri<- WAS AMAZING! He does Celebrity and Bridal make up in the Philippines. OMG! I was so blessed to have had him do my hair and make up.
I'm so glad to be married to my bestfriend. He is such a wonderful guy. Still has not changed even though we are married, still as sweet; caring and in love with me.
I'm so GLAD to be married in our church:D
This is it for now! I cannot wait for the rest of the pictures and the Photo Album and our video:)
Finally! After waiting for 1 year and two months, Caleb and i got married on July 12 2010. In Iglesia Ni Cristo church locale of Bago Bantay @ 4:00 pm! On the day of my wedding i remember i was sooo nervous. Not anymore about tripping or slipping or anything like that, only because i realize i have never done this before. And yes we did have a rehearsal but i totally forgot the whole thing and it was still just a rehearsal. In my hotel room; my make up artist, who was by the way fabulous(he's done many celebrity make up in the Philippines) came at 11 am. I was actually expecting him around 12:30 pm. So he started doing my make up shortly after he came.
Around 1:45 p.m. the videographer and photographer came... They fixed my wedding dress, flowers, rings, shoes,veil, tiara and even my perfumes(cuz i had two.. Pink by Vicky and Raspberry Splash from Bench)2:45 came around and i was still in the same chair! Finishing my hair... And still, it felt like time was just going so fast. As soon as i was done with hair and make up i was helped into my dress. Then the 50 million pictures began.
I remember arriving to church and every one was looking at me, i was so nervous and hot and feeling like i was going to melt. And walking down the longest isle I've ever seen was crazy and scary at the same time. My veil was super long that it felt a little heavy.
"You may now kiss your wife" he says
Caleb and i with my maid of honor and best friend... Zoshin. This was after the wedding ceremony and 20000 picture poses after as well.
Our reception was at Shangri La West... Which a lot of people were AMAZED. Simply because of the fact that the president of the Philippines actually dines here not only once a week as well as for special occasions.
OUR CAKE was super AMAZING! It was actually perfect! It had bows, flowers and all 3 of our wedding color and they put the cake topper i brought from the US.
With the beautiful hotel we stayed in, to the church that's filled with flowers every where you turned and the amazing good food at the restaurant that had an amazing waterfalls and still flowers every where; gorgeous cake as a focal point and our table, facing every one whom i love laughing and genuinely so happy for the both of us and the live music from t he band playing right beside the chocolate fountain and a photo booth on the left. Everything was perfect after all is said and done i realized that this was what i ever hoped for and more. And i really couldn't have had this WEDDING that not even words could explain, without my wonderful parents and most especially GOD.
HiPretties! Super busy on the wedding preps. Although i do have a wedding planner, and thank goodness for her. I think the fact that i am getting married just is not settling yet. NOT in a bad way of course! I'm just very ANXIOUS and VERY NERVOUS! On different various ways... I do have alot of WHAT IFs:
*If i step on my Gown and i fell? *If i cry that my make up would end up making me look like a RACCOON? *If it's so HOT in the Philippines that i start sweating so much it shows? (that's uber gross sorry 4 TMI) *If i don't look good as i hope i would.
I have so many other What Ifs but I'm not going to bore you all with those. I know it kinda seems like those what ifs are so self centered. And maybe they are and maybe that's wrong. But i cant help my self.. Besides getting married to the most AMAZING guy in the world<-(Of course to me he is. And I'm not saying that because i dont think your man is awesome as well but you know what i mean.) I'm also looking forward to spending time with my families as well as a 3 week Vacation. Which is kinda a tricky feeling. Because if i am out of work for more than 2 days i feel such a looser. I don't know why, i just do! I definitely will miss my friends and colleagues. So for the pass Months that i have been MIA i am very sorry. I miss posting and updating and just yapping all together lol. I do have a couple of things that i want to include in this post. So here they are: Ok, first of all... Im SOOO EXCITED!!!!!!! ECLIPSE.... YAY!!!
Second, on Friday Caleb and i went with our friends to dinner. Its one of those COUPLES dinner thing. And i did her make up.
If you guys want to know what colors and brand i used on her, comment and let me know.
last but not least, on Sunday... We went out to dinner; enjoyed my day off lol. and did some lite shopping.
So... I have been working, working and working! This time i promise i will post atleast once a day. I think i can do that. NO, wait SCRATCH that! I KNOW I CAN DO IT!!!
Finally, i am very excited to say that i have picked up my wedding dress from David's Bridal. It was very early but im not complaining what so ever! It was supposed to be ready on Nov 14. It is so so so BEAUTIFUL!!! But then again, i think all brides think that their dresses are beautiful or they wouldnt have picked it. Right? I had to wait for my mom to be able to come down, since she lives 3 hours away from me and is a very busy woman! Although i only waited for about a week, i was still so ANXIOUS!!! But i promised her that she would be with me when i pick it up. And i like to hold on to my promises.
If you ever watched Bridezillas... Do you ever wonder why those brides acts the way they do? Or do you just automatically think to your selves. BI*CH! I use to be wondering why they have to be mean or just doesnt care about their bridesmaids or their MOH. But now, i kind of relate and see what they are going through. Ofcourse im not screaming or throwing a fit if i dont get what i want but when it comes to speaking to my wedding planner, im very precise about what i want or where i want it to be and what should be in what table as far as center pieces and also what flowers are in the church and the ones in the reception. Also when people tells me that it is MY DAY i automatically CORRECT that person and say "It's just not my day, its not like im the only one who is getting married, its mine and Caleb's. " I dont think the groom should just be pushed aside, i think he should get as much SPOTLIGHT as the bride. Because every one knows that wedding isnt possible without that smart MANTOY(jk) who propossed. Right? So why should i be the only one who is getting all these attention?
If you are married or getting married, please share with me how HECTIC you were planning!!! Would love to know.
It's not that i am neglecting my blog and you pretty kikays out there, i just have been busy. My newphew needed a temporary "MOM" to take care of him, get him dressed for school; help with his home work and play time and such<-Who knew that having a kid is so much hard work! So Kudos to all the mothers in the world especially the ones that has morethan one. While still planning my wedding and all that i want and need for it. Such as a wedding planner, who is by the way pretty awesome at what she does.
I also ordered my wedding dress, and will be picking it up on Nov 14. It totally was not what i thought i would be getting. Everything got changed, the dress, the veil, bridesmaids dresses. Venue, Church... AS far as the veil goes, i wanted a short one. Not as short as birdcage but short. On my final dress fitting, i was with my mom and my future mother in law. They pretty much decided that i should pick out a different dress, one with train and a longer than life veil. Trust me that veil that your seeing on me is not all of it. It is so longits not even funny!
Along with the busy schedule in my hands, the labor day weekend was even more hectic because it was my moving date. Fiance and i got a house and are moving in sooner than we expected. I guess this is good. So that we can see and feel of how we would be once we are married and living with each other. Because i know so many cases of marriage, that when they were dating; everything was so great. But not till they lived with each other that they realize how much they get on each others nerve. And even on the little things. Such as Carkeys<- i know right? Who would fight about carkeys? Well sure enough, i know a couple who would. And i think its not even because of the carkeys, i think its because they are so fed up with each other that they are figthing about anything they could fight with. As stupid as that sounds. So this is why we are moving in sooner. And then something else happens... I got sick, on Monday night(Labor Day.) Did not know what it was at first but i knew that when i left home dad was not feeling good as well. I was thinking i got whatever it is i had from him. FEVER that gave me a temperature of 103. It was an aweful night and for the next 3-4 days. I was cold and then sweating hot all in one minute and then back to being so cold. So the next day, we went to the dr. to see what the heck was wrong with me and found out i had TONSILITIST and SINUSITIST. NO! Not fun at all. Which i had to drink disgusting stuff for. Ugh What a nightmare.
This time i wont go so long without posting... Hopefully! Today @ 2 i got an interview with Guess. Wish me luck! I cant stand staying at home all day, its driving me insane. By the way... Dad had SWINE FLU! And i dont know what you guys think about it, but it is not as fatal as most people think, he stayed at home and drink his meds and after about 5 days he was back to normal. Someone told me that when people catch the swine flu they had to be in the hospital. That was funny.

Caleb and i's newest Obsession.... FROYO! Yum!!! Started two months ago, try it out guys it is absolutely a great treat for all ages. We tried Red Mango as well but did not like it as much as Mojo's. It's on OUR JOINT top list :D.
Ok, i know, i know every one just about had it with the hype of Twilight Saga. But i do love it! i mean i read my books, each almost just one day. I tried to slow my reading process but as silly and corney as this sound, i fell inlove with the story line. I cannot wait for the New Moon to come out, it comes out 6 days before my 22nd birthday. Woohoo

I promise you this, i am not this kind of person. But we thought its very unique and quite amusing. So Why not?
I am so excited! I finally decided on what color theme i am going to have in my wedding. Ofcourse, as usual its not something that alot of people has done! I loved to stand out and do my own thing since i was a little girl.
The colors are Palm Beach Coral,Pooland Canary for my Canary Diamond! I am so excited. Its great to hear people's reaction when i tell them what my colors are. Now the question is what to do with my hair????
I doubt that it will be long enough by next summer. The thing is, im loving the Short hair!! Because i tease my hair so much and it takes forever to tease when its long! I can always get extensions. Its not that im becoming Bridezilla but i get so frustrated with friends, well just two out of all of them anyways. I pitched in the getting hair extension part and two of my so called friends thought that i shouldnt be fake! Its not like im getting a boob job or anything! I mean i get my nails done anyways. They have been making a big deal out of the idea of me getting extensions. I personally dont see anything thats wrong with it. Do you?
When i saw this online the other day; under short wedding hairstyles, it made me smile! Because of how puffy her hair is. Now that my hair is short, this is what it looks like everyday. I love the fact that my hair takes 10 minutes. As suppose to 20 to 40.
The thing though is, my mom is dead set on me having a veil! AHHH!
This is the first dress i tried! I loved it... Its my fave also. The beading and sequences on this very dress is absolutely amazing! I am 98% sure about this dress.
This is the second dress, the skirt material is made of tule..
The third dress that i tried on, she was jelous of my canary diamond. She loved it
The fourth dress, with the different sash or ribbon. If i do the 3 color theme; i would definetely wear the canary sash and have my maid of honor wear that color also. I did love this dress, although its plain. I would love it more if it had some beading.
This is with the pool color, i loved it too..
So this is the fifth dress, i liked it too. Ive tried on morethan five dresses but most of them as soon as i saw it on me in the mirror i was just like "NEXT PLEASE" some of them were kind of saddening. Becase my height. lol
Which one did you guys like the most??
Friday, June 19, 2009
So this is kind of a traditional color. Although it is a fall color, i was adviced that its very versatile. I've also made it a little safe. Matching all the bridesmaids dresses.
I thought about making the color fun and summerish, after all i am going to have a summer wedding.
This was a test run of some colors and different material of the bridesmaids dresses. It looks funky though, i know its kinda leathery but its really satin.
So basically the same dresses on every one but different colors. I'm really leaning towards the same style which is a semi corset top that flairs on the bottom and knee height. I still havent picked my wedding gown either. Ahh this stuff is so hard.
I love everything Girly. Shopping is my ADDICTION! I became a PURSAHOLIC when i was 8. To know more, keep reading my blog. It is so random, filled with make up, fashion, life, love, families, friendships and many other things.
