Wedding anniversaries begin with a Paper anniversary, a first.
Ajay and I have too many anniversaries now. First we met, first we went steady on 20th of June 1997, first time I gave him a cold and angry shoulder (otherwise known as Black Monday), first time he proposed for marriage, first we went out of town, first we flew out of town, etc etc… until we were wed in 27 July 2008.
But then, much like any other couple, these firsts are followed by seconds. I’m not sure if it’s the same for most, but we had quite memorable seconds. Continue Reading »
See that dress? Dangnammit, that’s our colour motif for December! ;P Watch out for our wedding website (I’m spoiling the surprise if it was meant to be one) coming soon!
Yups, ika nga sa nakalagay sa header dito sa janep, ikakasal na kami!
Most of you know already anyway, since we’ve sent out ‘save the date’ e-cards as early as February this year. I thought I’d write about it now, ‘coz I don’t think I have.
We’re working on the details still, but hopefully we can send out our formal invites to our friends in the next couple of months. Needless to say (but I’ll say it anyway) it’s tricky to work out details in wedding planning when you’re in our situation. Ajay and I talk to our folks on the phone and chat online as often as we can, to plan and execute wedding stuff. It’s reeeeeeally hard. But we’re happy that it’s going all right.
I thought I’d document our song choices as they evolve. I’ve created a playlist in my multiply page as well.
Keith Urban – Making Memories Of Us
James Blunt – Shine On
The Cure – Lovesong
Binocular – You
Jude – Everything I Own
Joe Cocker – Up Where We Belong
Phil Collins – A Groovy Kind Of Love
*Wonderful Tonight (untimed)
*When I See You Smile (untimed)
(instrumental) Canon
(instrumental) Looking Through the eyes of love
I’ve had the thought of making the music all-OPM… but it doesn’t work so well with the string ensemble. It’s a waste to not let them play the lovely foreign tunes as well.
But then, maybe if we were to make an all-OPM mixed CD, they’d have these songs:
Lea Salonga – With You I’m Born Again
Rey Valera – Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko
Rivermaya – Hinahanap-hanap Kita
South Border – Love Of My Life
Dimsum – Thank You For Your Love
True Faith – Wala Nang Hahanapin Pa
Parokya ni Edgar – Your Song
APO Hiking Society – When I Met You
Brownman Revival – Ikaw Lang Ang Aking Mahal
Francis M – Lab Song
Kitchie Nadal – Pag-ibig
I found designer Coco Myles’ website, where she has a tool for designing your own dress. I played with it for a while and came up with the following:
A very simple dress design I can imagine for the bridesmaids. This is in pink. (the closese Coco had in her palette to rose)
In A-line skirt and sweetheart neckline, with some beadwork.
This is in wine color, with a pink sash (optional). Strapless, and straight long cut.
The same cut and color, with a longer sash and a tea skirt cut.
