wedding vow ~ poem
You are not the air that I breathe,
you are the sweet scent that drifts upon it
You are not the sounds that I hear,
you are the music of my life
You are not the food that I need,
you are the nourishment of my soul
You are not my will to survive,
you are my reason for living
It is with you that I experience
the wonders of the world
It is with you that I triumph
over the challenges in my path
It is your partnership that will lead me
to the fulfillment of my dreams
It is your friendship that guides me
as I grow and learn
It is your patience and wisdom
that calms my restless nature
It is through you that I know my true self
I do not take you for granted,
I cherish you
I do not need you
I choose you
I choose you today in witness
of all the people who love us
I choose you tomorrow
in the privacy of our hearts
I choose you in strength and weakness
I choose you in health and sickness
I choose you in joy and sorrow
I will choose you, over all others, every day
for all the days of my life

royal wedding anticipation
as most of you may have heard by now, the royal wedding is on soon. there are lots of things going and every bit of detail is news. while there are cynicism over this event, (not a huge fan of huge weddings i may say) i try not to be all negative about it. let's wish prince william and soon-to-be princess kate to a blissfull marriage. this is a momentous and joyful ocassion afterall.
to william and kate! cheers!
say ‘I do’ to a small wedding
why say ‘I do’ to a small wedding?
while it’s nice to have a huge wedding, but if you’re in a really tight budget, why force it? a wedding is the beginning of a marriage after all. hence, it’s practical and sensible to be better prepared for the marriage instead of otherwise. anyhow, the love around an intimate wedding is the same with having a big one, maybe even more.. <3
thoughts on marriage and family
"The family is a subversive organization. Only the family has continued throughout history, and still continues, to undermine the State. The family is the enduring permanent enemy of all hiearchies, churches and ideologies. Not only dictators, bishops and commissars but also humble parish priests and cafe intellectuals find themselves repeatedly coming up against the stony hostility of the family and its determination to resist interference to the last."
~Sir William Robert Ferdinand Mount, 3rd Baronet
The Subversive Family author

a timeless wedding
here's one of the reasons why i've been captivated by small white weddings. its simplicity and the feeling that someone's simple wish has been granted.
in the novel 'a walk to remember', the heroine jamie's number one wish is to marry in the small church where her parents were married, full of people she holds dear.
and no one believed it's even possible. and then it actually happened.
i believe that the sincerity of one heart's wish can fulfill your dreams..

wear sandals on your wedding
more and more brides are now breaking out of the traditional too formal shoes to wear for their weddings. these brides must not be used to wearing one in the first place, so why make your feet suffer on your wedding day?
and then there's these pretty sandals.. simple.. so quaint. so comfy..
why not let one walk you down the aisle? your feet (and those of your bridesmaid's can thank you later) <3

garden chapel ~ banao creek
i found a photo of this quaint chapel.. fresh, tranquil, magical, unassuming place to hold your sincerest wedding vows..
~ photographer's note

A small, unassuming resort in Tagaytay City (near the Taal Volcano) called Banao Creek in the Philippines offers a surprisingly tranquil atmosphere that affords commune with nature. This is a shot of its chapel, which is not far from its swimming pool and cottages. Gets chilly at night in this place, but warm and cozy through most of the day.

a simple night garden wedding
have you seen different settings of a garden wedding? it's nice isn't it? it's like communing with nature. it's a wedding that would literally keep your feet grounded, making the celebration all the more intimate and sincere. it's really nice..
if you may, have a night garden wedding in your own home, in your own garden even. in your soft flowy dress, small romantic flowers on your hair, relaxed attire for your groom and your guests as well. exchange vows under a make-shift bamboo pergola, with tiny plants hanging down just right. a few monochromatic bulbs and lanterns, dangling all over the garden and over your single round guest table, filled with blooms, some candles and good food..
