Our Wedding Essentials Feature

I wanted to blog about this when I received the magazines in October, but I was too busy with hospital duty [and payback], and then Art was here, so I ended up completely forgetting about it. Until earlier, so I decided to take pics of the magazine. :)

The issues in circulation are the ones with Nina Corpuz and her husband on the cover. Ours is a specialized copy, we have 20 copies of this one which we gave to close relatives and interested friends. :)

When I received the invitation for our wedding to be featured, I didn't know the write-ups had to come with a title and I neglected to put one on ours. So I think the editorial staff of Wedding Essentials came up with one. Honestly, I think it's kind of corny. Hehehe. Definitely not something I'd cook up.

My mom asked how come there were not much pictures of our other relatives and friends. I was asked to send in 30 to 50 photos and WE chose from among them. I also received a call for a feature on the entourage gowns, however it was around the time I had an emergency operation so I wasn't able to reply in time for the deadline. 

I've received calls from friends who've read the write up and said they were touched. Thank you! :) Even Marlo Luna, Zamboanga based wedding coordinator said that he felt truly inspired after reading it. [Btw, to those who are asking me who to get for weddings here in Zamboanga, I think Marlo is your best bet by far!]

It was great planning the wedding and it felt great to be a bride! Although I had a very short "hang over" from being a bride-to-be because in less than a month, we found out that we were already expecting. I even neglected to do my suppliers ratings for w@w. 

Art laughed when he read it because I had to mention in the write-up that the full drapings were the first in Zamboanga for our wedding. I said I wanted to because first, it was true; and second, our wedding set up is being copied over n over again. Initially, I was very pissed and then I realized that we didn't have a patent on it so other wedding coordinators have the right to copy them and show that they have no originality. :) Full drapings are common in Manila weddings but no one used it here until our wedding, maybe some have thought of it but we were the first to actually do it. Now wedding after wedding, they use the exact same color of drapes that we used during our wedding. I wish that soon they will start buying new colors of drapes because there are actually lots of nice colors out there. They said, imitation is the highest form of flattery. So okay, thanks for flattering our wedding. :)
