In Spotlight: Our Seat Plan

08.18.2011 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Wow!  I received a few queries today about our seat plan.  It seems that my sisters at Weddings at Work (or the famous W@W) liked and have adopted my idea of a seat plan and have sent their inquiries to Joy of the Monogram Hub. Their common question was:  Where did we print the seat plan? We had ours printed in a plain tarpaulin by our neighbor who has a small printing ... READ MORE

Supplier’s Review: Hizon’s Catering

08.16.2011 by Leah // 3 Comments

Among all our suppliers, Hizon's Catering is probably the one which gave me all the emotions I would feel as a bride:  excitement, jitters, stress, relief and happiness! Let me tell you the reasons why: Excitement.   Hizon's is one of our non-negotiable suppliers and we have decided early on during our wedding preparations that we will no longer try other caterers.   ...

Wedding Pictures from Von Lazaro

08.02.2011 by Leah // 4 Comments

It's worth the wait! That's our reaction when we finally saw some of Von's pictures which we were able to download last weekend.  A CD full of his raw and edited shots will be picked up from his studio this week, but I am equally thrilled to share with you some of the pictures he has uploaded in advance: Our Rosary Wedding Cord by sis Eyzel. Our Wedding Bands from Matus ... READ MORE

Supplier’s Review: The Pergola

07.31.2011 by Leah // 5 Comments

Next to the Church, the reception venue is the more challenging and therefore more stressful item on a bride-and-groom's wedding list. I believe we actually spent more time looking for a venue than for the rest of our wedding suppliers. A lot of factors came into play during the decision-making process - like the location, size and amenities it offers. We initially ... READ MORE

Sad and worried…

07.23.2011 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Should I worry about not having received any wedding pictures from my other photographers?   Although Nat has already promised to send the raw pictures by post, I haven't received any from Von Lazaro yet, our back-up photographer.  I am expecting more from him since he was the only one paid for his services.   The rest took our photos pro bono, as a ...

Wedding Pictures from Nat Lamano

07.13.2011 by Leah // 1 Comment

I got the second batch of pictures from Nat Lamano, our photographer friend who rendered his services free for our wedding (thanks so much, Nat!).You saw the first batch of his pictures here, taken at Hotel Celeste.    He got an eye for detail, and while his are post-processed pictures, he did not go over-the-top.   You know I hate it when I see ...

Supplier’s Review: Hotel Celeste

06.22.2011 by Leah // 1 Comment

Booking Hotel Celeste was one of the happy decisions we made during our wedding.   The booking process itself was stress-free (thanks to Ms. Macky, our reservations officer) and it was done online.  We got really good price with direct booking (it's much cheaper than booking through Agoda or any other online ticketing agency) and I got my dream room to boot!Look ...

Supplier’s Review: Top Cakes (c/o Hizon’s)

06.17.2011 by Leah // 1 Comment

We've always wanted a chocolate-colored cake for our wedding.    And since our wedding cake is packaged with Hizon's, I chose a design that is easy to replicate to make sure that it will come out nicely.Here's our inspiration for the cake:Instead of butterflies, we asked Hizon's to inform Top Cakes, their wedding cake supplier, to put in white flowers.We ...

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
