Pictorials and the Reception

Right after the ceremony, Lourd started doing the necessary retouches to my makeup and he also fixed my hair because a few strands fell loose. Mimi and Karl had set up a chair nearby while waiting for Lourd to finish.

It was so much easier to pose with Danz around, although we still felt a bit stiff and were a bit serious during the pictorial. Mimi was teasing us that we were married already, so we should be happy!:)

The church actually has quite a breathtaking view, so we had a couple of shots with the mountains in the background. Unfortunately, the sky was cloudy, but the view was nice just the same.

We had pictorials both at the church and at the reception area. I loved these shots at Balay Indang:

Mimi and Karl also did a great job of capturing the small details in our wedding...

The Place Cards - It was so funny because people actually used the place cards as name tags as well.

The Guest Cards - We had a blast reading the guest cards after the wedding. We used these 10 sentence starters that I found in Weddingbee:

1) When he snores you can always...

4) When you wake up in the morning always...

5) One advantage of marriage is...

7) A great way to apologize...

8) The best relationship is the one that...

9) When things are going less than perfect...

10) Now that you are married you must...

Our program was relatively simple - a couple of speeches, AVPs, a trivia game, and the dances. In between, our emcee read some of the funny answers to the guest cards and we also did the model a kiss.

I managed to hold myself together throughout the day. But when it was time for us to say our Thank You's, I finally cracked! I know it seems a bit weird, but I was just overwhelmed with happiness because of all of the people who were there. As I said in my speech, it was the people who were with us that made the whole celebration meaningful.
