When Benjie Weds Annalyn

Walking down the aisle is every girl's dream.  Finding "the one" is everyone's life goal.  And I'm so happy for another friend of mine who realized and materialized both just last month on her wedding day!

When Benjie weds Annalyn, every detail is planned accordingly.

When Benjie weds Annalyn, everybody gets really excited!

Congratulations and best wishes once again, Mr. & Mrs. Benjie Adobo!  We are so happy for the both of you!  We pray for you to have a blissful marriage and a lifetime filled with love together.  Through thick and thin, take care of each other and your future kiddos of course.  Looking forward for little Benjs and little Anns to make kulit with.  Stay in love and make Christ (not Kring2x. hehe) as the center of your relationship.  We, the solid, liquid, gas friends are just around!  We love you! :) <3

Arnold-Daisy Nuptials

And more love is in the air this month of August! :) Another close friend of mine walked down the aisle last week which made me "career" my #tosomweddings posts!  Hehe..... Anyway, Daisy was a high school classmate/lunchmate and schoolmate in college.  She was always the serious type, the one who doesn't squeal for cute boys unlike me.  To be honest, until now I couldn't remember if she even had a crush way back then.  She was shy, quiet, reserved, and very down to earth.  The only thing that pushed her to talk about in second year high school was the longest running Philippine teleserye Mara Clara of Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes.  Oh, how time flies so fast that we even caught up with the modern-day version of Mara Clara of Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes.

It was only last year that Daisy told us about a certain man for the very first time and I was so kilig by then!  She met Arnold in Qatar where they fell in "love at first sight" (as what Arnold said in their wedding banquet)!  Oh, they are just so in love with each other!  The ceremony was held at Tabid Catholic Church where Daisy grew up.  I was sorry for not having witnessed their vows for I still had my class that I couldn't leave.  I was glad that Marestelle and daughter Niña were there so I managed to grab a photo from the ceremony of the very cute flower girl for the event.

Then thanks to Marestelle for picking me up for the reception held at RA7 Medina Waters Resort.  There I finally met Arnold personally aside from being FB friends.  I also got the chance to meet his mom and dad who were super accommodating.  I thanked God for giving Daisy not just a good and loving husband but also warm and friendly parents-in-law.

At the same time, Daisy's whole family was of course there and I also had the chance to see my previous Physics major student, Reina.  She is now a licensed teacher, following my footsteps teaching science at Chinese School.

The whole wedding package was by Ramil's Creation.  They took care of everything from the littlest to the biggest wedding odds and ends.  They are partners with Warren's Arts and Studio for photography and videography.  So for a fuss-free wedding, especially those who are abroad who don't have the time to prepare for their big day, visit their FB page here.

Thank you so much once again, Marestelle and baby Niña for being my wedding dates this time!  

And to Arnold and Daisy, a blissful union to the both of you!  We pray for your safe travel as you fly your way back to Qatar.  And congratulations in advance for the upcoming little one!  Stay healthy and eat healthy, Daisy.  Take care of each other and more love love love! :)  #tosomweddings

GabRel's Forever

Oh, the love in their eyes!  Gabriel and Reloufe finally tied the knot last Saturday at Gango Catholic Church.  I still quite remember the first time Reloufe told me about a budding romance with her thesis critique who was Gabriel 3 years ago when we were still colleagues in Chinese School.  Back then, Reloufe kept it secret from our other colleagues who were also her schoolmates in college for pwera usog 'coz they all know Gabriel.  It was the month of August when they started meeting to hear mass at the Cathedral and every Monday, Reloufe's eyes got glitters!  Until after a very long weekend of August 2012, Ipyang showed me a sort-of promise ring (for she still didn't consider it as a "big" thing yet) on a Monday from Gab.  And that paved the way to their forever! <3

The wedding ceremony was flawlessly solemn being witnessed by Ninongs and Ninangs who were mostly from La Salle University with Br. Jimmy Dalumpines, president of the institution.  The manpower behind the wedding's coordination was mostly a circle of LSU talents too.  To name a few, Sarah Engcoy for the invites, Arnel Lomocso and Rodette for the lovely set-up, Foto Crime Lab for videography and photography, Javaphoto Booth for the fun shots, and Manet Tabaculde for the over-all package!  I enjoyed the wedding banquet which was held at Coco's Island Resort in Clarin for the program was not a bore, all guests were properly seated, and everybody was accommodated very well.  The pretty cake was Jack-Jack Soledad's of Hamlet, Maningcol by the way.

When in weddings, we get to catch up with people we seldom see.  Here are photos of our previous Chinese School student, Mary and little brother Ben who were both part of the entourage.  Of course, I was also with my kikay bestie whom I always enjoy ootd'ing and selfie-ing much!

Again, thank you so much for making us part of your big day, Gabby and Ipyang!  Congratulations and best wishes to both of you!  May God bless your union more and more as you start a family of your own.  Keep the love and fire burning as you work out your forever!  Looking forward to little Gab's and Ipyang's the soonest!  Hehe.....

And what's in a wedding without the poses?  Here are snapshots of my vainest part, the #DakilangTigAttend!

Then Kring2x gave birth to a new hashtag for me, #tosomweddings!  So more weddings to come, blog readers! :)

*Photos were taken by Samsung and iPhone care of Kring2x and yours truly.

Tech Tuesday: Pinterest Fever

Tech Tuesday tells about the techie side of me!

I’ve been sick for days with this fever-cough-all-stressed-out-cannot-be-explained-end-of-school-year kind of sickness I suffer annually!  I have been resting a lot but I haven’t skipped school and still did storekeeping.  But for a workaholic like me, I had sacrificed dropping my extra-curricular productive activities and resorted into too much surfing over the net instead.  Much to my surprise, I had ended up pinteresting some wedding finds which is a big irony for an old-maid-in-the-making like me!   

Well, I just found browsing on such photos so calming to the mind, imagining a wedding in spring when flowers are in full bloom…..Hey, hey, hey!  But there ain’t no spring here in the Philippines!  So might as well have a wedding in a summer when there is only little chance of rain.....  Dream on, girl!  Lol!  But anyway, here are now the gorgeous photos of a rustic garden wedding which made me gaga over them!

Now can you blame me for falling in love with these pretty interesting wedding ideas?  Who knows that someday, somehow, this old-maid-in-the-making would go and find her groom!  And that this wedding fantasy won’t just be a fantasy at all.  I might not be that kind of person who dreams toooo much to be tied up in wedding, but I still believe in joining up with someone in mutual weirdness forever!  Ayeeee!!!

Anyhow, I just can’t get enough Pinteresting!  I must be soooo sick that I got the name of my sickness now as Pinterest Fever!
