it’s our first wedding monthsary today!
happy, happy, joy, joy =)
too bad the husband’s working ‘til 10pm. boo!
goodbye candle-light dinner and romantic strolling :(
think i’ll just plan for breakfast or lunchdate with him :D
we've spent one year planning and preparing but we could not have pulled it off successfully without Mr. Universe conspiring. it's been 26 days after our big day and we are still so much grateful for everything and everyone.
1. we are thankful for Mr. Sun for shining its glory all through out the event. it didn't rain the whole day but it rained the day after. how amazing is that? to think we had a beach-themed wedding during the rainy season of december *big grin*.
2. we are thankful for our family and friends who showed their support and love all the way :) though some complained how early our wedding started but still they were there to witness. we didn't expect the church will be filled with guests but to my surprise, everyone was there. well, except for one who had a hard time locating the church *winks to jinky* . (in case you were not following this blog, our wedding ceremony started at 6:30am :p) we love them all!
3. we are thankful for our dearest suppliers who didn't give a bit of dismay due to the early dress-up. this was one of my concerns when we changed the time but Tisha assured me that they were all excited for their first dawn wedding. true enough, they were because they all arrived at 2am and some on their designated call time.
4. we are thankful for our dearest officiating priest, who i think didn't sleep at all just so he won't be late for the ceremony. it was their parish fiesta the day before our wedding so a lot of parties and noise were going on. add to that he has to travel 1hour plus to reach the church. super thank you Fr. Jun!
5. we are thankful for Maribago for the sumptuous food, lovely set-up and superb service. i have to thank my friends who are working there too coz i know in their own little way they have contributed some like securing the safety of our guests and adding pressure to the banquet's service =D. sending our hugs to the hr director, sales team, housekeeping manager & security manager :D
6. we are thankful for the pretty flowers, chairs, tent drapings, wishing tree and other abubuts in the reception which was very well taken cared of by our event stylist and florist, Sheila Ruiz. all i had we're pictures to show her and a bit of description mostly thru emails forwarded by Tisha. i didn't even know the names of the flowers i wanted haha. but viola! everybody was gushing about the pretty set-up.
7. we are thankful for my lovely gown and Mario's suit by Bernardo Flores. hayy i could not explain in words how everyone adored my gown and how handsome Mario looked in his suit :) i had my first fitting last september and second/last fitting two days before our wedding and it fit perfectly during the day itself. while Mario had only one fitting :D it was simple and elegant and soooo us! just the way we wanted it :)
8. of course how could i not thank my dearest coordinator, Tisha, who got panic with all the details i have in mind :) i had so many things going on inside my head and Tisha was there to enlighten me and put all things together. i was so glad i didn't worry a bit during our preps. well, there were some which were unavoidable like the super warm weather around 10am but really i was not stressed at all. she's got all the positive energy and words a coordinator should have :)
9. special thank you to my super SFC friends who inspite of my last minute assignment, still agreed to do their part wholeheartedly :D some even proactively showed what they learned in service :)
10. lastly, we are super-duper grateful to God Almighty for overseeing everything from planning until the wedding day. for giving us physical strength as early as 2am until the wee hours of 2am the next day. yes, we had a 24-hour wedding celebration. i could not describe how we were able to sustain our energy and enthusiasm that long. enough said.
truly, a miracle of its own.
