Wedding Details: The Rings!

yahoo, finally, i know where to start! :D

i've done my assignment and stared endlessly at our few-out-of-the-million photos. i have to nudge my silly self and start writing. so here goes...

i initially wanted an eternity white gold ring :D (okay, we can't afford that). but at least a white gold ring with some diamonds. i was feeling all girly when we started our planning, so i felt like a glittery ring will surely look good on my finger. i was that sure. while the husband, on the other hand, already knew what kind of design he wanted - white gold, plain, simple and thick!

when we started checking all the jewelry shops here in Singapore, (and I mean ALL, because even Indian shops, we visited to be sure we won't miss anything.), we were actually disappointed. most of them have the same designs. nothing unique at all. if there's something pretty, it was way out of our budget. but one thing i discovered during our search, the diamond ring did not look good on my finger :( well, in my own opinion. i realized, i am not the girlaloo type who can act prim and proper, so too much diamonds won't really suit me. i've decided, one diamond ring is enough, and that is my engagement ring.

we agreed to look online for the design we wanted and have it customized instead but we had no idea where to find a supplier. i was so frantic because i wanted to catch up with the sale period so we can at least save. but the husband convinced me, that we can't just sacrifice one of the things important during the wedding just so we can buy it cheap. (this guy is a smartie :D)

true enough, we waited! then i remembered i read through Tisha's blog that their wedding bands were customized by a friend. so we informed her, sent our designs and the good friend, Linette Ramos, gave us a really good rate. just perfect!


you see, we are easy to please. we didn't have an inch of doubt that Linette could not provide us our customized wedding rings. looking at the samples she showed during our one and only met up last September (3 months before our wedding), only proved that she could deliver. and boy, how lucky we were! the rings were ready after two weeks and they were the exact designs of the rings we wanted - white gold, plain, simple and pretty. the husband was so happy with the thickness of his ring while mine was just perfect for my little ring finger.


Linette was truly one of our heaven-sent suppliers, who came just in time to calm me from my paranoia. So if you're planning to have your wedding rings customized, don't hesitate to contact her at +63927-4344849.

Chillin' & Relaxin' in Boracay


our much awaited beach escapade last year - our first honeymoonie.

why i say first? because there will be a second, third, fourth, and until we grow white hairs.

we stayed in BoraSky Hotel, which in our opinion, showed a not-so-nice service to locals. sadly!
but how can we let that teeny-weeny issue spoil our vacation? nevah!



we bummed and lounged in the beach for the whole day with just our camera, ipod, tanning lotion and fresh juice. sweet life, isn't it?


add that we attended a wedding during our honeymoon in a posh resort.


thanks to our dear friend, R, who invited us in her cousin's wedding, who by the way flew from SG to Cebu to attend ours.

I can't write what I wanted to write...

boo to me!

how in the world could i not start writing about the pretty little things that consumed most of my time during our wedding preparations? how could i? :P

well, i don't have the answer too because as far as i know, there were just too many details to write about and i don't know where to start. haha.

i have an idea though. i will start looking at our photos again and from there, decide. that makes sense, right?

okay, back to photo staring. wish me luck!

p.s. believe me, i am ecstatic to write about all the pretty little details. *puppy eyes*

Sweet Escape







...to Rawa Island, Malaysia!



if you prefer to go by bus for more adventure, we suggest you buy a round trip bus ticket from johor bahru terminal, so you won’t panic and worry on your way back to sg (just like what we’ve experienced, mga lousy!). we noticed, buses from mersing are always fully-booked on a weekend trip.


so here's some tidbits of how we got to the island:



- bus from sg to jb larkin bus terminal will take approximately 1 hour including immigration checkpoints. we took the bus at Queen Street since we want to take the earliest trip.



- bus from jb to mersing was around 2.5 hours travel. we booked a ticket at jb larkin terminal.



- speedboat to rawa island was 45 minutes. the resort has their own jetty at mersing and the boat transfer was already included in our package.



go, plan your sweet escape!
