Congratulations Gela & Aaron! :)

Today, I feel so happy and kilig for my friend Angela who got a really really sweet surprise proposal from her beau Aaron! :)

Her gorgeous Tiffany ring!

Since these two are obviously very much in love with each other, I think this proposal has been a long time coming. I'm sooo glad they're FINALLY tying the knot on March '10! :)

Congratulations Gelai & Aaron! I'm quite excited to take a picture with Manny Pacquiao on your wedding day! Among many other things of course! :)

My Baby Boy Kaden! :)

I haven't posted in a while because I've been feeling really lazy lately. I feel like I'm just about ready to pop and it's frustrating that it doesn't seem like I'm going into labor anytime soon! Boo! :( Anywho, enough about me.

My smart little Kaden boy got medals from his recognition day at school! He "graduated" from his 2hr/day toddler class which is spend mostly on play, and is now ready to take on being a 3hr/day nursery student come June.

They just grow up so fast! Mommy loves you, sweetie!

Other Wedding Details

SHOES

I brought 3 pairs of shoes to the hotel because I wasn't sure which one I wanted to wear. I decided to go with the bejeweled silver stilettos, and then switched to the red peep-toe ones for the reception. I really like the bejeweled strappy stilettos which I got online, in fact I even got the exact same ones in gold just to be safe since I didn't know then which one I wanted to use. :)

WEDDING RINGS

Art & I got our wedding bands in Hong Kong. This design is his personal pick, and he is very proud of it. It's one of the few things in our wedding that was all him. :)

ENGAGEMENT RING

UNITY COINS & ARRHAE

I got the two-toned Unity Coins from The Wedding Library at Megamall, and the arrhae was provided by Frederick Peralta. :)

BRIDAL CAR: 1948 CADILLAC SEDAN

This car is one of my favorite things about the wedding. I adore vintage. This car used to belong to Art's grandfather and it has been in their family since. It's not the traditional white bridal car because its actually dark green, but I couldn't care less!

FANS

I could foresee beforehand that a garden ceremony at 3:30 in the afternoon was going to be hot, so we provided fans for the guests. I got these from a w@w sister.

GIVEAWAYS:

These giveaways were provided by my grandmother, but not before giving us a huge scare! She offered to give them to us a year before the wedding but we almost thought we wouldn't have giveaways a few weeks before the wedding because she "forgot/changed her mind". It was pure stress especially for me, the bride! Glad that she came through, though at the very last minute.

PERSONALIZED NAPKINS

This is a very sweet wedding present from my college roommate Emma who wasn't able to make it to the wedding. :( Purchased from The Knot.

PERSONALIZED TOASTING FLUTES

From my Auntie Tina who also wasn't able to make it because of her untimely back surgery. She also gave us a personalized cake cutter, unfortunately I can't find a picture of it.
