Re-printing my love letter

Dear Sweetheart,

Barely three months more to go, and we are vowed to walk to our journey through lifetime.
I am enjoying our preparation and I am getting giddy and excited everyday.

How time flies so swiftly but is it not joyous to see how great and growing is the treasure we have gathered together,— amid the challenges and stresses of so many eventful days?

I am truly happy we are still deeply in love, and will always. What it has been to me to live all these years in your heart and companionship; no phrases can convey.

You are more wonderful and admirable in my eyes than you ever were before; and my pride and joy and gratitude that you love me with such a perfect love are beyond all expression,

My heart continues to overflow with emotion and joy! I do not know what heavenly languor, what infinite pleasure permeates it and burns me up. It is as if I had never loved! You always concentrate my whole senses.

How beautiful life is to be loved by you. And this art will always be a picturesque in my heart. Remember, when I just freely draw this while waiting for our foods to be delivered. See how lousy my touches are. hahaha I love you sweetheart, always.

You will always be my Man. A man better than any other man.

P. S Don't forget our meeting with out Florist this Wednesday.

Maid of Honor dress

My maid of honor is my sister. My very conservative sister.

I had a hard time searching for her dress because she is very choosy, very arte and very strict when it comes to design and style.

Just to let you know, she hardly wears dress. She hates high heels. She dislikes make ups. She avoids bright colors. she never likes parties, affairs.

Though, she is not a bored, jaded lady Nor boyish kind or lesbian.

She only adores simplicity. She doesn't want complexity and discomfort in life especially to herself.


When I asked her to be my Maid of honor, i had to beg a million times to have her sweet "yes".
But with these conditions:

"please not backless, please not to short, please don't show my neck, please no ruffles, please not so many beads. Just plain and simple"

Waaaaaaah.conservatism kills.

But the angels above must have heard my pleas. I have found her dress and she likes it!
Immediately she went to my designer and have her measurement done.

Thanks God.

I'm a master :-)

For quite a while, i fell in love with school and this is what i got. A Masters Degree.

(Hurray)

It wasn't easy, by the way. I had to deal with never ending reports, sleepless nights of doing research, long hours of studying, boring books to read but I am overly glad, I am over it.

There were many reasons why I decided to have a Masters degree. It could be the next step of my academic path to enhance my career, giving me a competitive edge in the job market.

Or simply because i just want to be as knowledgeable as possible.

I am a Master. hehehe

Save the date

I know you are all busy dealing with your tight schedules. But i want to keep you reminded to save the date for our big day.

January 31, 2009 (Saturday)
Sacred Heart Church 3:00pm
Waterfront Hotel 5:00pm

We can't wait to see you all on our wedding day.

Bridesmaid trendy gowns

My bridesmaids will look exactly like this.

Yep, with the headband on top.

You may wonder why the short dress?

Well, i just want to get away from the traditional long dress for my bridesmaids. Though, the tradition is still up until now.

But on my wedding day, I want my bridesmaids to weary a sassy, alluring short dress.

Why short dress? For so many reasons.

Practicality.
Since I want them to keep the dress, i might as well have it in a casual style where they can re-wear it on other occasions like proms, parties and intimate dinners. A kind of dress that would flatter their figure and would love to wear it again.

Size
You know most of my bridesmaids are cute and petite. For fashion tricks, A short dress will help their legs appear longer..

Their hair will be neatly tied up to show off their neck, and the figure looks elongated. Anything bulky around the neck will make you look shorter.

Budget
It won't eat up so much fabric. Meaning, reasonable price. (hmm just reasonable, i can't just say cheap, hehe)

Difference
I just want them to see my bridesmaids in a trendy style that would have them look attractive and stunning. Way different from the traditional type.

All of my entourage will be wearing a designer gown by Harley Ruedas.

Wedding gown sketch

Here's a closer look of my wedding gown sketches.
Jonas, one of the in-house designers of Harley Ruedas made it really perfect.

Wedding gown sketches are important, I realized.
It actually speeds up your visual problem. It serves as a communication tool on how you want your gown to look like. When i was searching for my wedding gown, I was so confused as to whats really best for me. There were just sooo many to consider, and so many to choose from.

Making your own wedding gown sketch is a great help because it expresses your own preference, your own visual honesty.

I love the evolution of wedding gown sketching. From a sketch in a notebook to a work of art on a real canvas, the creative process is exciting.

Start Sketching your dream wedding gown now. :-)

My wedding gown

My wedding is all bout the "wow" factor for both me and my fiance. hahaha
Which could also mean "whoa" for my designer. ..right?

Gee, I have found the perfect gown for me, guys. Well, may not be with you, but for me and my fiance, its perfect! WOW.

I forgo the restrictive crinolines, ruffles, and super thick satins. I want a relatively weightless style and emulate simplicity.

My gown is not a princess type of gown but it has a magical quality meant to only use it on my wedding day.

It's really different. I want it even in champagne or off-white color. Perfect for my red and gold motif.

Here's my wedding gown. The gown of my dreams.
