"The Avengers"-Themed Pictorial

I'm kinda running out of patience waiting for our W@W pictures, and it's been what? a day??? talk about excited.. (LOL) Thank goodness, Atty. Raymond Fortun sent me our pictures via email. I was thrilled to see our "themed pictorial" posted on his website.. Here are just some of our "London Detectives/ Mr. & Mrs. Smith/ The Avengers" shots!

Mr. and Mrs. Smith (Pinoy version) hehehe

London Detectives at work...

uhmm.. eh mainit ho....

38 degrees but still smiling...

Can't wait for our other pictures!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeh!!!!

Our First W@W Moment

I must admit, though we got exhausted and sunburned at the W@W free prenups at Fernbrook, we actually enjoyed posing before the cameras. Leih and I felt so excited as it is our first prenups pictorial ever. We frequented all the photobooths and got some picture magnet for souvenirs.

Temperature was seemingly above 38 degrees and the streaks of sweat forming on my forehead almost wore out my make up but we continued with the shoot anyway. Leih had been most patient with me ~~ my ever reliable fiance who always had a tissue in his hand to wipe my sweaty face from the freaking unbearable heat. It was an exciting day for the both us, especially for me who got to meet some of my fellow w@w sisters in the flesh... Maan, Cielo and I all had our make ups done by Tita Princess so we kinda met up at BF Homes together with our h2b's.. And upon arriving at Fernbrook, I saw sis Abi with her better half Edu.




After the exhausting prenups, we headed straight to Alabang Town Center where we satisfied our selves with a huge serving of Schezuan Crabs at Crustaceas. Leih also bought me me a set of deep purple roses and two-toned lilac-colored paper roses.


All in all, everything went well, despite the unbearable weather, we had a really wonderful first W@W moment together... Something we will both always remember..

Our First Official Date

It was by luck that we chanced upon this wedding being set up at Le Pavilion this afternoon while waiting for Dennis ~~~ we were scheduled to settle the reservation & down payment for his lumens projector. We agreed to meet at Le Pavilion where they had an evening event. He was a little late so we decided to take a peek inside the pavilion since nobody was at the door. Oh boy, how smitten we were with the designs of the table set up. I didn't bother to ask though who their caterer was. Good thing, Leih saw this big letter "C" plastered on the box nearby so he interestingly approached this guy who was setting up the table. It was Rolly who confirmed to us that it was no other than CENTER TABLE who was catering the event. We were so thrilled!!!!! I had a sudden rush of excitement as we watched these people finish decorating the place.

Our excitement pushed our moods to the highest pitch. Upon getting to MOA, we started our food-tripping ,had a satisfying japanese food marathon, enjoyed a delicious Haagen Dazz fest and finally, some serious shopping.. We also went for an hour massage at Body Tune. All we did was eat and talk and laugh. I seemed to have forgotten how wonderful it is to have someone special to share moments like this,, after all, it has been quite a while.

Today was our first official date (mind you). Being away for almost 10 years, we felt the need to make up for the lost time.

a lambing kiss from my prince...

I even got to pick a few items at MANGO and Freeway.We went home with an armful of shopping bags and pastries.. I can't be any happier... =) We had an amazing, amazing day....

Surprise Surprise!!!

This is actually the first bouquet that he personally handed to me. All the other flowers were sent either thru a messenger or even thru his mom. I was actually expecting his arrival late in the afternoon, but he surprised me at 2:00 PM when he dropped by at work (straight from the Airport) with a beautiful bouquet of roses in his hand.

It would always be one of our most memorable times together... Our first time to actually see each other after 10 long years... =)

Finally Home...

After 10 long years.... my prince if finally back home... Surprised me with a bouquet of fuschia-colored roses at work before heading home from the airport. Went home with me to meet my family for the first time. It was a great day..


Now, we're a bigger happy family...

A Special W@W Moment

Sis Abi and I tried the Photobooths..
Check out our wacky photos.. Kase yong SpiceBooth wala man lang warning.. (LOL)...

My Third Bridal Fair...

We finally settled the full payment for Center Table Catering today at the "Themes & Motifs" Wedding Expo. I got 2 booklets of raffle tickets, all of which I solely signed, hoping we'll win this time (sakit tuloy ng kamay ko)....

The Bridal Fair was overwhelming with top wedding suppliers, it was literally a big carnival of "dream granters". I had so much fun walking around while checking all sorts of offers and services. I even got to meet my w@w sister Abi and her fiance, Edu. We tried the photo booth and got some pictures as souvenirs. Abi was able to purchase a beautiful dress for our W@W prenup pictorials. And I am guilty of snagging another MANGO blouse before heading home.
It was a great day..

. I think I won't get over my passion for wedding fairs.. It's just addictive..

Wedding Accessories...

A day wouldn't pass me by without thinking of our wedding preps. It has gotten me so involved that every accomplishment gives me such an overwhelming feeling. Just as I was updating my other site, I realized I've never posted some of the accessories that we've already purchased.

There are more from where this came from, but for now I'll be posting just a few....

The Unity Candle.....


The Arrhae


The Fairytale-Inspired Pillow

Our FairyTale Table Numbers

I've been busting my brains for more ideas on how to make unique table numbers for our guests... Finally, I have set on a design that will most likely become our table numbers... I still have more time though to think if we'll do it ourselves or just buy it to lessen the hassle. But DIY-ing has slowly become a hobby for me, I might as well put my personal touch on it...

What do you think, guys? crafty, huh?

About The PreNup Pictorials

The W@W pre-nups are coming in a few weeks and I still haven't figured out what to wear. Seems funny but I was talking to my friend Maan and she shares the same dilemna. At least I'm not the only one contemplating about possible bouts of shyness around cams. To think we'll be having our pictures taken in front of other brides... I'm not sure how I'll do. (LOL)

Leih and I kinda decided to just keep it casual. Most probably, I'd opt for a casual blouse and jeans and just have my hair prepped up a little. I'm not sure about the dress yet.. not on the 20th at least, anyway, we have 2 more other pre-nup pictorials coming up in a few months. I wonder how things will go about on the 20th.

Just thinking about it makes my heartbeat faster... haaaay...

Our First Website...

I'm relieved that Wedding Announcer is finally back to work. I had a hard time uploading all our pictures the first time it went down for almost 2 weeks. All my w@w sisters were dismayed at the trouble it left us. Imagine having to upload everything from scratch is really a nightmare... I even started thinking of making a new site but since our announcer site means so much to us (it was our team effort that created this one), I painstakingly had the site redone...

Thank goodness for blogging geniuses like Aby (w@w sis) who sent me an already-snipped picture on my email, and my cousin Kathy (blogger mom), I was able to post my first ever snipped picture.. Kathy, you are amazing... Galing galing mo grabe... And to aby, thanks sis for being so patient with me. hihihi
