11/11/08
This date marks a milestone in Balut & Natto: Garandee is now a Mrs.
Yes, we finally tied the knot two weeks ago! This is also my best excuse for not being able to update my blog, it has been a very very busy two weeks!
I guess we were an unusual couple wanting a very unique wedding. We only started working on our wedding 3 months before 11/11/08, so I'm really pleased we managed to pull it off!
Here are some highlights:
Besides our couture, we didn't get anybody else to fix us up for the wedding. I ended doing my bride's hairsetting to get the flowers to stick properly, while she did all the make-up on her own.
Our wedding photojournalist is pure AWESOMENESS!
He was in on the action as well!
I soon returned the favor and helped out on some of the photo sessions.
Garandee's all set to walk the aisle...
then the ceremony begins...
No entourage...
No choir or wedding divas singing "The Prayer" (again)...
No coordinators...
Just a brief and simple 30 minute ceremony with 18 dear folks and a Jim Chappell CD.
Garando & Garandee walked out of that chapel ready to face a new life...
Every wedding should have a kilig shot
The flowers at the chapel were so gorgeous we couldn't let it go to waste!
Good thing Grandma was around...
Next stop: Garando takes the in-laws to Bohol!
Garando mode:Dynamite!!

@Anonymous,
Thank you!
Caleruega is stunning, but it's also one of the most challenging chapels in terms of logistics. Most of the requirements and paperwork must be done in Nasugbu, Batangas (including the canonical interviews @ 7:30am!!). But for all its worth, Caleruega is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a small intimate wedding.
Thanks for dropping by!
Weddings need not be tradional, basta it should be a happy occassion to be celebrated!
Nice talaga ang Calaruega. I've always wanted to go there. (but this coming Sunday, my wish will finally come true, excited na ko!)
Chyng:
Yup, I completely agree with you! I recommend Caleruega! The preparation effort is usually double compared with a Manila wedding, but it's all worth it! Wow, I hope you have a wonderful time during your visit there!
ohh, better late than never, congratulations on your wedding!!! i like the idea that it was DIY, because my wedding was like that as well. we didn't have an entourage, no wedding coordinator, no band, no videographers, no doves, no money-dance, it was a purely simple occasion with just me and the husband on top of everything. ^-^
i love your wedding invitation, i made my own as well. ^-^
