.An Intimate Handmade Wedding.

Seventy-eight guests, sunny morning weather, beautiful handmade stuffs and my husband's hand truly made my July 24'th the best day of my life. It was heavily raining the day before our wedding and we're really blessed to have a good weather all throughout the day itself. It was a lovely intimate private affair and we're both happy to be surrounded with all the special people in our lives. Our beloved family and friends woke up so early just to catch Tagaytay's sunrise to witness the day we embrace God and marriage into our lives. We're very happy that both nature and arts conspired perfectly that day as we celebrate the union of our love.

I am very happy that I married a simple and very down-to-earth man like Aries. We met in Calaguas Island, Camarines Norte last summer 2010. He became my boyfriend last 2011 and we got engaged in Macau last 2012. We are very grateful that our love story was truly blessed with God's love and guidance. He let all the things fall into its proper places in His own time. 

We decided to make our wedding simple, private and intimate because this is how we envision our marriage to be: "to find happiness in simple things." Without spending too much in our wedding details, the love, artistic contribution, & creativity of our families and friends are enough to make our wedding beautiful and personal. We wanted a wedding that is fresh, laid-back, soft, and very personalized. The view of Taal Lake, perfect sunrise spot, cold morning air, fresh smell of Pine trees, & the healthy fresh food from the garden made us chose Tagaytay to be the perfect venue for our wedding.

This wedding will never be successful without the love of our families and the collaborative efforts of our dedicated suppliers, and friends. We will be forever grateful to everyone who became part of this wonderful and intimate union.
