We're so blessed

Have you ever felt the hands of God showering blessings upon you? Well, we would like to share how God moved in our lives especially during the preparations of the wedding.

We didn't have enough money to really afford an expensive wedding, but God did touch the hearts of some people to provide the needs for our wedding. What are those? (not in order)

My bridal gown, is my mom's gift. Yep, I know what you guys are thinking...it's automatic that parents would provide...but frankly i am not expecting it. And God didn't only provided for my gown, he had touched someone to make the whole entourage!!

Yes, a bridal package!!! From the flower girls to the maiden of honor and my groom's barong.....what's more? All the bridal accessories (arrhae, veil, bridal studs, garter, cord) were given for free !!!!

And top to that the amount of everything!!!!!!! (guess how much?)



A month before the wedding, our dolphin souvenirs ran out from Trinoma mall and I don't want to buy the ones from Divisoria for they are so common and traditional.... I wanted something that is different, something that would really be wonderful to the eyes. So, I prayed that God would help me find the souvenirs....until one Sunday morning, Kay Susan tayo featured these delightful candles. Yes, they are candles! Scented/flavored Candles mind you... aside from the fact that it is blue, our candle cupcakes and cakes were creme brulee and vanilla flavor! yum yum!!! (re edit: FYI-the scent is WHAT YOU WILL REALLY EXPECT once you light the candle)

They were created by Ms. Melody...I can never ask for anything more from Ms. Mel--she is heaven sent! Aside from her friendly aura, she would also help you pick out flavors and designs for your souvenirs...God Bless her for she is so wonderful!!! Go to her website to see how delightful their candles are... http://www.candle-delight.com/

Oh by the way, the money used for these souvenirs were given to us by... Third's sister. Yes, she was also touched by God to provide for these wonderful souvenirs.

Our hotel accommodation is also a blessing....

I was looking for a good hotel that is well situated. I only have 3 hotels in my list but they are so expensive or their deals are not so great.

A blessing from God, because Imperial Palace Hotel is having their promo rates during my wedding. So we got a great deal for our hotel!!! Isn't wonderful?

God touched my Maiden of Honor to create this wonderful invitation...

materials were chosen by me, lay out, printing and stuff were done by my dear friend Tal. if you want to have your invitations done by her, just tell me... (we're trying to make it as a business) lolz!




Yep yep! Our bridal car is also a gift!

This one is from Via, my co-coach in Assumption Swim School.

I was really shocked when they even find their way to put some bouquet in front of Paul's car...

It was all overwhelming and the feeling is grabee!!!!




And my make-up artist and hairstylist is also a blessing....(sorry michelle, we don't have a picture sayang...)

How? Well, they are really good and they know their craft so well... they'r beauty and brains mind you.

anyhow, Sophie is the kind of person who is really good in make-up and vanity. She will tell you the things you needed bore the wedding. she would even recommend things you need to do before the wedding. you can visit her website http://beautynomics.com for recent reviews and other ka-kikayan stuff..

next is michelle, the hairstylist. i really don't know her personally but she is a-good hairstylist. just tell her what you want, and voila! your hair will stand until the end of time...lolz...kiddin'
but, your hair will never fall...promise.

and lastly, our Honeymoon. It was a gift from the grandfather of my student... yes, a kind and very generous man. We met him in Hongkong and, i feel so lucky to have met him... he's a guy that is full of life and full of knowledge. there is no dull moment with him. Again, thank you tito for everything.

well, that's it.... i thank God for all of these blessings he had given unto us during my wedding... and lastly, i want to thank Him for my husband... he is such a wonderful person. Nobody will be as wonderful as my dear third.

Lesson of the story? God is really good and He works mysteriously...just believe in Him...
