Unity Candle

This is the UNITY CANDLE used by Ate Rhiz. Very proud of her kasi parehas sila ni Ate Gail... mga DIY girls. They are very creative and artistic and doing such things. 

As per Ate Rhiz, there are only things we need for this candle.

          1. Candle 

          2. Gems 

          3. Flowers 

          4. Ribbon

Then the designing will be based on your artistic choice. Spending not more than Php400.00

For others, this is a very easy task, but for us na walang ka-art-art this is a big load. 

Happy Designing!

Ninong Afin

He's the buddy-buddy of my father. Kaya naging ninong ko siya sa aking binyag. All through out my childhood at kahit sa maging ganito na ako kalaki, he's always there to give me advice, or I would rather say silang mag-asawa. Mixed emotions nung nalaman ko na aalis ni sila for US of A sa October 25. Hindi na sila makaka-attend ng kasal namin. But we're happy for them kasi makakapunta na sila sa Tate. Matagal na rin kasi nilang pinaplano yun.

We decided na gawin namin siyang ninong because in my personal experience, he will try his best to guide us in our marriage life just as he guided me as my ninong nung binyag. Thanks, Ninong Afin.

Ninong Ariel and Ninong Joel

They we're surprised nung nalaman nila na gagawin namin silang mga ninong namin. Ninong Joel even jested kung ninong daw ba sila binyag. Hehe.

Ninong Joel is my manager at Accenture. Ibang klaseng manager po siya. He's the type of person na hindi mauubusan ng positivity sa buhay. Kahit stressful sa work environment at maraming dapat na pag-ukulan ng pansin, still he's always on top of every situation. He also encourages me to strive hard sa work and personal life. At paminsan-minsan, I'm lucky enough to enjoy his perk, ang makisakay sa kanyang Mazda 3 :)

Si Ninong Ariel naman ang lagi kong kau-kausap kapag night shift ako. He always opens ideas kung ano ang pwede kong gawin sa career ko, at nagbibigay din ng insight sa buhay may-asawa.

Wilma and I  know that they are more willing to help us as we start our marriage life and still there as our journey continues.

KUSUDAMA Might Help

Flowers are beautiful, elegant, and the scent is outstanding, but, we must admit they are also expensive. Almost 5% of wedding budget goes to the fresh flowers decorations in ceremony hall and reception. 


Here, glad to know to cut some of the unnecessary expense that this may cost.

Kusudama originates from Japan. This is a folded paper flowers. Some of the bride use them as an alternate for their bouquets, aisle decorations and some were used to be their centerpiece. 


There are so few materials and  steps to do those flowers. 


Happy Folding :)

This is a Filipino pre-wedding tradition where the parents of bride sends their daughter's hand to be part of another family. 

A festive celebration before the wedding at bride's home. All foods were prepared by the groom's family. Hereof, details for the wedding is formally set for discussion. Venue, guest list, and even budget were laid down between the two families.

Bring in the Metals

    Commonly used for making a jewelry. It was combined to other metals to add strength . Yellow is the natural color of this element, but, it can be turned into white, pink, green or even black, if putting some alloys.

Palladium

    A rare and lustrous silvery white metal, similar with platinum but has a bit darker tone. Some love because it is lighter than platinum.

The  presentation was outstanding and you get a lots of freebies upon booking. You can haggle to a lower price pa nga eh.

I love their lengua and so cheesy lasagna. Hizon's should be on every soon-to-be's checklist. 

Wedding Band or Wedding Ring

Wedding band or wedding ring is a pair of plain precious metals given during a wedding ceremony. Uniquely designed wedding rings were filled with different expensive and rare stones, some put their fingerprints on it, some with different shapes and designs. 


Wedding band or ring both symbolize that the wearer was married. 


This ring should be rarely removed, for it serves as symbol of love, trust and respect to each spouse.
