Watercolor Foliage Wedding Invitation

December 6, 2017

There were a few things in the wedding that we got help from and eventually enabled us to save the budget. These came from none other than our own family members. The wedding invitation was the very first that we worked on with our cousin, Marini. She was actually the one who offered to design the invitation before we even get to her!

My fiancé (now-husband) let me handled the idea and brainstorming process. We both kind of have the same taste and preferences so we trust each other. That way, we can split our duties to share the workload of the wedding prep.

So, shall we?

Our wedding invitation.

Our Wedding Rings

November 24, 2017

On, 5 November 2017, we are married in front of God with the Sacrament of Matrimony in a Catholic Church. After the heartfelt, sacred vow exchange, came the time to put on the rings. The wedding rings we put on symbolize our love and fidelity to each other.

To us, it’s more than that. Our wedding rings have a sweet background story that I’d like to keep as a memoir in this blog. Preserving the sentiments. And that maybe we can share it with our children (and grandchildren) in the future.

The Wedding Nails

November 22, 2017

The last time I wrote anything nail-related was in 2015. Here it is, 2 years later, I’m married to the love of my life *aww* This post will mark the first of the wedding series, where I’ll share few bits of pieces of our pre and wedding details.

Alright, wedding nails. I made it a decision early that I have to use gel polish. I didn’t want to fuss about my nails, looking at them, searching and wondering whether they’d chipped or not. As much as I dislike the removals and how they make my thin nails even thinner afterward, I have to make an exception. Gel polish is practically foolproof and that’s what I need.

So, here are the nails I wear happily on my big day.
