wedding details: our wedding invitation

Thursday, August 26, 2010

 

Our invitations were made by Printsonalities.

 

It was a beautiful collaboration between us and Ms. Noky Gatmaitan. Noky patiently exchanged numerous emails with us, sending proofs and re-designing the invitations until we got it just right. The end product is an invitation that had a lot of personal elements.

 

One of the details that we truly loved about the invitation is the Pablo Neruda quote that was incorporated on the front. This is one of the first things our guests would read on our invite.

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride
so I love you because I know no other way."

Thank you again Noky!!! :) 
We look forward to having our correspondence cards made by Printsonalities.

wedding details: rings (perfectly imperfect!)

Tuesday, August 24, 2010

Our wedding rings were custom-made by Little King Ltd in New York City.
Being a huge Manchester United fan, he wanted custom-made cuff links of ManU's traditional emblem. We went to Little King on the Lower East Side of NYC to ask if they could do it.They had a special mold made and hand-crafted these beautiful cuff links! 

 


Initially, RJ and I had only planned to have the cuff links custom-made but while waiting in the store, we chanced upon their collection of wedding rings. The hammered-finished rings immediately caught our eye. These perfectly imperfect rings captured what marriage is all about. RJ said it best, "There is no perfect marriage; but if we work at it, we will be able to have one that is just perfect for the two of us."

wedding on-site video

Thursday, March 25, 2010

Choosing our vidoegrapher was probably one of the easiest decisions that we had to make.  We viewed sample on-site videos/same-day edits and chose the one that had the best combination of style and technical prowess. We chose Jason Magbanua, and up until the time we told our wedding coordinator about him, we really didn't know anything about his reputation. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that he is THE best wedding videographer in the Philippines (and probably international as well). He captured the raw emotions that were just so palpable on that very special day. He certainly exceeded all expectations. He did not disappoint. There is definitely only one Jason Magbanua.

the last time (bridal march)

One week before the wedding, we still didn't have a song for my march down the aisle. The classic bridal march song just didn't have enough heart and meaning for us. Then one night as RJ dropped me off at home, we heard this wonderful song on the radio. We listened. 

It was perfect! It moved us on the spot. I cried...and I think RJ got teary eyed. 

This was it. We've found THE song. 


"The Last Time" - Eric Benet

The first time I fell in love was long ago.
I didn't know how to give my love at all.
The next time I settled for what felt so close.
But without romance, you're never gonna fall.
After everything I've learned;
Now it's finally my turn.
This is the last time I'll fall... in love.

The first time we walked under that starry sky,
there was a moment when everything was clear.
I didn't need to ask or even wonder why, because each question is answered when your near.
and I'm wise enough to know when a miracle unfolds, this is the last time i'll fall in love.
Now don't hold back, just let me know.
Could i be moving much too fast or way too slow.
'Cause all of my life, I've waited for this day.
To find that once in a lifetime, this is it, I'll never be the same.
You'll never know what it's taken me to say these words.
And now that I've said them, they could never be enough.
As far as I can see, there's only you and only me.

This is the last time I'll fall in love.
Last time i'll fall in love.
The last time i'll fall... in love.
