Pedi ♥ Michelle Wedding

May 2 of 2009, my hubby's former agent, Mich and her fiancee decided to tie the knot. I've been hearing from hubby that Mich was already preparing for her wedding this May and is asking questions on how we prepared our own wedding. Of course, we recommended our wedding organizer, Close 2 You since they did a great job preparing our wedding.
We were not able to witness as Mich walked down the aisle to the altar because we arrived late at the church. Still, we were able to witness how both of them pledge their vows in front of everyone. The bride was smiling and looked really happy and so as the groom. Everything was so organized coming from the order of the wedding up to the decorations and the bridesmaids. I so love their outfit. Really nice!

Raden ♥ Shiela Wedding

January 2 of 2009, my Superfriend Raden and his partner Shiela decided to pledge their vows in front of the altar at the Sacred Heart Chuch in Iligan City. They were already a couple ever since we were in our college days and even already had a son of their own. I'm so happy to know that finally they are ready to tie the knot and it's so nice to see their son walk the aisle as their ring bearer.
Raden was so kind to pay for the room where we will be staying. With me were Boo, Superfriend Elva, Dee and Robs. The five of us went to Iligan at around 10am and went back to CDO early the next day.
I'd say the wedding was perfectly planned. The Bride was so pretty and she looked so happy and contented. The Groom on the other hand was excited and couldn't wait to call her as his wife while Shiela was walking her way to the altar. The flower girls were so cute wearing a red gown with a white belt on the waist line and butterfly wings on their back. They all looked like cute little angels.
It was raining hard that day and they say that when it rains on your wedding day, consider it a blessing. It just means that God is pouring a lot of blessings to the newly wed couple. The choir was so nice as well, it's like they were singing in a choir concert.
The reception was held on a small restaurant where the main guests, the entourage together with the Bride and Groom were seated inside while the rest of their friends were seated outside.They just placed speakers outside so that the guests could hear what's going on inside.

The BIG DAY: My Preparation

My Preparation.
(hours before the wedding)


While everyone was busy having their make-up done by the make-up artist, I sat on the bed waiting for my make-up artist to arrive. I was anxious knowing that the most important person of the day is still sitting there alone without the make-up artist.


He arrived late. It was already 4:30 in the morning and our agreement was for him to come at 3:30. And it took us an hour or more just to finish my hair and make-up. The videographer and the photographer were already there and I was still not done with my make up and so they went to cover the groom first.


When it was finally my turn, we had to double time since the wedding will start at 8am.

The Day Before the Wedding

Tne day before the wedding was a busy day for us. I had make-up rehearsals in the morning and church rehearsals in the afternoon. Around the early parts in the evening, Jeff and I went to church to have our confession heard by a priest. We had to wait for the mass to end for the priest to accommodate us and he was very kind to do so even if confession hours were already over.

We went to Suytiak after we had our confession, unfortunately, we missed it. The store's already closed and it was raining so we had no choice but to go back to the hotel and take a good rest before the big day.

We were supposed to get a massage and had our nails done at Sentara, but we were already so tired to even go down the hotel and get a massage. I also had a lot of things to prepare and I still have to do my nails while there is time. Thankfully, my superfriend Elva volunteered to get my nails done for me and I slept through it. I was really tired that I also lost the appetite to eat.

The Bridal Shower & Stag Party

Bridal showers are celebrated as a tribute to the bride to be’s last days of being single. It is often hosted by her families and best of friends. You can also hire a party coordinator for this if you want the party to be perfect, memorable and stress-free. But if you do not have the budget to hold an extravagant bridal shower, a simple one will do.

As for me, it was my one of my closest friends, Mommy Amor, who planned the bridal shower. She meet up with my agents and texted my closest and best friends in college and high school. I didn’t know what to do or even what to prepare, all she told me was just to be at my best and just look good on that day. But you know, not knowing what will happen or not even having a clue on what will happen is kind of frustrating on my part.
