I have always considered marriage as the most interesting event of one's life, the foundation of happiness or misery

It is almost a month since we had the bridal shower bash for Joy, but now she is perfectly married to her long time boyfriend Emil. The Civil Wedding happened last February 4, 2012 in Laguna, Emil's hometown.  

They invited only a few guests, super close friends from childhood to elementary friends up to college. Just a few of it went over and the celebration of their wedding took well. It was an intimate one.

I remember when Joy and some of our childhood and elementary friends, talking about our crushes, future boyfriends, and soul mates. I said that "basta ako ikakasal ako ng mga 25-26 years old, matagal pa naman. Madami pang years tayong pagdadaanan para makahanap ng aasawahin. Haha!". While Joy said that she will get married when she reach the age of 27, but then here she is, happily married at the age of 23. 

I guess it's fate/destiny. When true love hits you, it will definitely hit you! No matter what happens, no matter what life gives you, no matter what challenges you may fall on together, no matter how many struggles you'll face and no matter how hard the relationship will get through, if you really are for each other, fate will make way. And that's how I see their relationship all throughout their boyfriend-girlfriend years. They broke up, separated for a quite long time and got back up again, then ended up marrying each other. 

As always, photos again! Here's some of their pics during the Civil wedding:

Before the wedding

Instead of a bouquet one, see that one piece of gumamela? 

This is the touching and tearful part of the ceremony, exchanging of vows

SINONG HINDI  MAIIYAK?

Look at the view! 

THE BOODLE FIGHT

Joy loves boodle fight, she always wants the picnic type so instead of  this catering ,  she suggests this kind of reception after the ceremony! Kainan na!

The newly wed couple! Mr and Mrs. Almodovar ♥

The breath taking view of Laguna

Me with the couple! Fun time

F.R.I.E.N.D.S -- We were the last one left eating. 

The most exciting part! 

Couple both crying

It is always a girls dream to walk down the aisle and marrying the man they truly love and I've been imagining those before. 

I loved, yes! LOVED a man before whom I've been planning silently my future with him, that I see myself kissing him in front of our beloved family and friends inside the church. That we'll rent 2 buses for our guests and family because they'll be coming from our respective provinces from North. And will enjoy from that moment on and the rest of our lives together. 

But that was a 'pira-pirasong pangarap na'

Anyways, despite of my 'hanashes' here, just like what I told Joy, I'm super happy for her and Emil. I wish them both happiness and more babies! 

See you soon Joy! XOXO ♥

A Bridal Shower presents: Tears of JOY

Last month, January 28, 2012, Me and my precious friends thought of giving our 'bride-to-be' friend (Joy) a Bridal Shower. Well, fortunately it went well just as we didn't expected that it would be very "bongga". We just wanted it to celebrate for we think she (Joy) deserved to be given a mini gathering like that.
Funny thing about it that she knows she'll be having a bridal, but OF COURSE, we (the organizers) didn't spoil a bit of details about the said gathering, so she ended up leaving home early because the location of the party was in their house!
From the props (such as bunny headbands,balloons, glittery hearts, penis nametags ) her UPLB friends (University Of the Philippines Los Baños) who traveled all the way from Laguna, Giveaways (condoms, Papemelroti stuffs), Video greetings, Foods, Bridal game ideas and the STRIPPER! But no! We didn't got to avail one because it was quite expensive, quite. Sad :(. It'll be more fun sana if we did get one guy stripper, and I think some of us will be like this "Oh my effin'" "Oh my God!" "Can I touch your abs?" "Take it off! Take it off!" "Wooooh!" "Mooooooore flesh!" "More more more" or "Can I take you home? How much?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! CHOS!


Anyways, I'll show some photos during the bridal

Condom giveaways! :)

That's what you call tears of Joy! We made her cry that night

See the photo in the book? Hmm..

I want one! Charot!

Ang 'Ultimate Crush' kong si Mariel :))

I don't know what's the conversation of us behind this pic

I was laughing hard with the toilet paper gown game

THE BUNNY GIRLS

It was a giveaway men!

UPLB peeps

Im sorry for the rumbling pics.

It shows that we had fun, we did the bridal shower games, opening of naughty gifts (most of the gifts were bikinis and lingerie) and a couple of drinks after.
Activities were accomplished, we made her laugh and cry.
We wish you Jocelle a full of love with Emil, I know you're undeniably happy and inlove. May God bless you both on your another level of relationship. Love you Joy! ♥

Trivia:
Joy and Emil met at UP Los Baños during their College days. They went through ups and downs like a common couples do. They broke and got back up again.
Emil, her long time boyfriend proposed last last year at the UPLB auditorium, I was tagged with the video proposal over the facebook and it brought me tears because I was so kilig and inggit at the same time.
