It started with Rachelle's visit... She reserved for her wedding in Ville Sommet on October 23, 2011. We were fairly new in the wedding industry then, and she had a lot of details. But she trusted that we would be able to pull it off -- that was all we needed to give her big day everything we had -- resources, energy, and much love.



Soon after Rachelle's wedding... her friends started contacting me for coordination. Thus, in 2012, we handled two more weddings from their circle of friends -- Lois and Leigh.
Lois and Gil tied the knot on August 18, 2012. They chose to have their mass in Laguna and their reception in GCF Alabang. It wasn't so difficult since traffic didn't take over SLEX that day. Thank God! :)

Their big day had a lot of support from great suppliers -- K by Cunanan Catering, Pictratto c/o Carlo Lagman, Green Tomato, Boy Kastner Santos, Manny Marquez, Serge Igonia, and Sound Salad. :)

No one will ever forget the vows and how they induced tears from the bride and groom and the rest of their family and friends. Ano nga ulit ang title ng first movie, Herbert? :) This couple proved that partners need not have a really long engagement to know that one was born for the other.
There was so much laughter during preps in Taal Vista. Perhaps, Nella really set the mood when she uttered the now famous line, "Good morning, Philapins!" (I hoped I spelled that correctly... hehe!) The kulitan in the room was further fuelled by the presence of the suppliers who had enough energy to match up toe-to-toe with the barkada. Noel Salazar and ImagineNation, CJ Lagman of Threelogy, Rae Venturanza... I feel as though the other rooms around us became more energetic just by hearing the thunderous burst of laughter that ensued from our room then. (Joe San Antonio, I know you were with us in spirit that day.)
Vatel Manila's lego-inspired boutonnieres and handmade bouquet were complimented by the fresh floral bouquets, ceremony set-up, and reception arrangements by Serge Igonia and his able team. Leigh and Herbert gave their Lego theme their all as they did their DIYs -- a lego curtain, lego escort card holders, lego place card holders, lego table numbers, and lego giveaways. Was there a point when the guests did not know the theme? I don't think so... hehe! Even the cake had a lego vibe. :)

We ended in such high spirits that we even had the case of the missing shoe to cap the evening... can you imagine how Rache got the shoe without Marose (or was it Nella) noticing that it had been taken?
Rachelle, thank you for investing so much trust in us when we were still new in the industry... It's something we will never forget. Imagine! We were able to handle all three weddings and we witnessed three of your great life moments -- your wedding, your pregnancy, and your first crack at motherhood. It was great Raine came for a visit at preps! :)
Thank you, Lois and Leigh, for giving us as much trust as Rachelle did. Thank you to the rest of the barkada, Paola, Nella, Marose, and Diane... You all contributed to making each day memorable and full of love. You are all lucky to have each other, and most of all, the men are lucky to have you... :)
