The aftermath ...


This Monday its going to be four weeks since the wedding,and its quite hard to put into words that amazing , crazy stressful , beautiful day. I wouldn't say it was the best day of my life ( too much stress and rain to qualify ) but then the wedding started in the evening, the ceremony at 6pm and fro then on the stress fell off and it was all about celebrating hugs and champagne amazing food and speeches ,it definitely was THE BEST EVENING of my life. Seriously no ifs or buts all around best.

I still wish a little I could redo the day , the whole bit where I woke up at 5am and didn't take my eyes off the sky, praying it would change and not look like it was going to rain any minute for four long hours.

Then got in a cab to go pick up the girls get ready it starts raining and I'm there sad because the entire thing we've been planning for 18 months meticulously is not going to happen as envisaged. No dancing outside under the stars in the beautifully lit courtyard. So yes for most of the day I felt disappointed . I wish I would have just gotten over it and not cared, i also wish that stupid custom of not seeing the groom wouldn't exist cause 1, he could have cheered me up in a minute flat and 2, all our attendants were mingling and sipping champagne outside our getting ready rooms and I couldn't leave for fear of bumping into the groom.

Also there were moments where i should have been MORE of a bridezilla , like when the room got full of people who had no business seeing the bride before ceremony , or no business being there in the first place.

Then again this is not meant to be a rant just my thoughts on the day. And there was so many great moments... Just upon arrival being smothered with a Creme de La Mer mask looked like some weird lets rob a bank mask ( and scared our photographer Csaba). The girls aka bridesmaids! Having all those amazing girls around me was great and really they were amazing and so sweet and just the whole excitement of getting ready together and getting into the swing of things .I loved the hair and loved the make-up as well as the people who administered it , the look that came together just as I thought and it was great to see all the girls dresses I loved the different styles coming together. And seeing Jas. made up so georgeaous , and for J. to like her gift , for M. to be so happy with her dress and Sz. so caring and into the wedding drama and just to know that KC friggin flew from New York for 48 hours then back to Manila to be there . I was amazing and very very emotional.

I guess this is goig to be in installlments as it will get too long for one post . And I was going to wait till we officially get the photos from the amazing Csaba @ naszriporter.hu but i'll post a little teaser now and lots and lots more in a bit ...
