Ryan & Juday

I have always loved the idea of weddings... Having raised from a huge clan, I remember witnessing lots of weddings since my childhood. Oh, but the funny part is I never had a flower girl experience until I reached 11! (Cute naman ako a... I swear! I could post some of my baby pics later...) But anyway, as early as 13 I started my bridesmaid experience. Perhaps more than half or maybe 90% of all my cousins' weddings, I was there as bridesmaid. Not to include, my brother who married twice (my first sister-in-law is already with our good Lord...) which automatically makes me a bridesmaid in both cases too. There was a time I got a bit worried that I may have always been a bridesmaid, but never a bride. Thank God that didn't happen. My dream BEACH WEDDING finally came true on October 30, 2010 at Laiya, San Juan, Batangas. The theme I so wanted was "casual, fun, no crying please..." and I got what I wanted, with NO RAIN at that (it was raining practically the whole week). So after I got hitched, my passion for weddings got even stronger. And so I now I decided to possibly follow all celebrity weddings (not necessarily sikat, kahit laos or starlet basta "pwede na" ding celebrity) and I want to share these with you. Enjoy! ♥


To start off, who can ever go wrong with Ryan Agoncillo & Judy Ann Santos' wedding. Kilig! 


It has long been idea that my boyfriend of, then, 5 years (when we got engaged) and I have a beach wedding. I so, so, so love the beach. I dream of a great view of the sea while uttering our marriage vows. Laiya, Batangas was already one of the options because, sorry, we cannot possibly afford a Boracay wedding and I want "somewhat" white sand, basta not black or gray. There were a bunch of ideas, only ideas until we come up with funds to start off the wedding planning. We were not so much in a hurry also because my brother is getting married in that year (2009) so we will have to push our wedding to 2010 instead. We originally planned 2010 anyway. Until... one morning in April, everyone was talking about Ryan & Juday's wedding in Balai Laiya. Oh, that was my original idea - to get married in Laiya! Though I wasn't a fan of either Ryan or Juday (until recently I bumped over Ryan at Greenbelt 5 and found that he indeed is really, really guwapo in person... kilig!), I fell in love with the sincere fun, joy and love that these 2 people seem to radiate. I was amazed seeing how much fun they had in their wedding. And so it became really an inspiration to me. Since then, my idea of a great wedding spells FUN, FUN, FUN! This wedding really left a mark on me as a bride-to-be. Clik this link to see this timeless film of Ryan & Juday's wedding by Jason Magbanua...
