It was raining HARD but...

Though this is so late, I'd still post this.

I have mentioned already that during our pre-nuptial photo shoot, it was raining really hard.  Look at this photo:

But nevertheless, we went on to shoot as planned.

And amazingly, my heart was steady then, I have felt that the Lord took hold of it so that I won't spoil our day and just enjoy the moment and thank Him in the process... Which happened indeed because of His grace.  Add to that, people were praying with us for and in turn, they too rejoiced with me when they learned how the weather did not affect my mood.

And the result?  Let the photos speak for themselves!

What do you think?

It's just unforgettable...

Thank You Lord for this moment! :)

Special thanks to Jonas Acorda, Jordan Acorda and Kris Milabo for the photos above, The Fort Residences Admin for allowing us to shoot in their condo, OMF Lit Main Branch for allowing us to shoot in their bookstore, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Ortigas Park for reserving us a table to occupy for our shoot, DJ Ingrid Nieto for that lovely maxi dress I wore in CBTL, Jhen Capacete for my hair and make-up, the people who prayed with us (Connect family, you know who you are) and of course the rest of our photographers that day: Mae Navarro, Don Balagtas, Rachel Tabac and Strong Sabio.

Ze Engagement Ring

I love it when John and I hold hands. Such a sweet thing to look at!

Oh, and did I mention that small thing on my finger is my favorite piece of jewelry?

Yihee! :)

Which one do you like most? The colored or the black and white version?

I wish I could share them all to you but this is the only picture that I have as of right now... I'm excited for the finished product. Will sure share it here as soon as they (the photographers) give it to me!

In the mean time... I will email the wedding invitation draft to my dear wedding invitation sponsor... Hehehe!

Happy Friday! :)

He loves me (part 2)

One of the most sweetest thing that John does for me is prayer. I love it and I feel so loved by him when he tells me in text that he prayed for me and most especially when he prays for me outloud...

Just like last night! I needed some air last night and "debriefing" when I asked him if I can go to his office. I shared my heart to him and before I went home, I asked him to pray for me and he did. He gladly did! I'm just so blessed to have a future husband like him.

Pastor Raul said during our premarital counseling, when we were discussing about our premarriage assessment survey, "Wow, Rajsh! You're marrying a nolble man!" Naks! Ikaw na love ang noble man. Hehehe.

Ayun lang.

I love you so much! And I really thank God for you... I know you will be reading this later. Mwuahugs! :)

He loves me!

John is not as expressive (words) as me. But he has his own ways in expressing how much he loves me and I'm okay with that!

During our last premarital counseling (this past Sunday), one of the things that Pastor Raul told us is that we should write down our wedding vows and memorize it. It was such a kilig moment for me because I have been imagining myself reciting that to John. And then John mentioned in passing that he was also thinking about it already. And that made my heart melt. I wanted to cry, hug him and kiss him... he loves me! I know right?! Hehehe. Just saying...

Yes, I'm so excited!

I just realized that I'm joyfully excited for our wedding (duh)... Well, I mean, I remember last year and back in 2010, whenever I would think about our wedding, it makes me sad because back then I felt like it's so tagal! But now, I' m only counting five months before the day! Yey! And so I haven't seen myself lately being so emo and telling John how much sad I am because we are not yet married... Hehe! Arte ko eh!

Anyway, yesterday, I got the chance to talk to a caterer... They offer really good price! As in cheaper than our budget. However, their menu is not for breakfast... So I told my contact if it's possible that we customize our own menu. I'm praying for a positive feedback.

That's all for now...

Blessings!

I thank God for you my love! ♥

Hello 2011!

Happy new year everyone!

I'm so sorry for neglecting to update this blog as I was a bit busy with work and my other blog. Hehe.

Anyway, it's 2011 already and we are about to start with our count down for our Big day! Yeah baby!

For now, allow me to share a picture with my beloved during New Year celebration:

Greetings with love from the two of us!

The proposal

* Just to share a bit of trivia *

Beloved proposed to me on March 17, 2009.  It was a Tuesday night at Shakey's somewhere in Metro Manila.

It was after the biggest fight we had... It was a fight that almost led to us to part ways... Through God's intervention we talked and settled things out. After a lot of tears shed we realized that we really don't want to be apart. So after being in good terms again my beloved asked me if I want to marry him as soon as possible. Even if it would be a simple wedding (simple means: Civil Wedding). And of course I said YES! Hahaha!

We were actually talking about it even when we we were just starting our relationship, we prayed about it and we know for sure that the Lord brought us together for a purpose-- for His purpose!

We then agreed to get married on September 21, 2009, our first anniversary. But it didn't happen. God did not allow it to happen, because He has a purpose...

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.  "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. -Isaiah 55:8-9

As time goes by, He showed us that we have to wait for His timing-- His perfect timing! And so we changed plan, adjusted and prayed (and still praying) that the Lord will allow us to marry each other by the year 2012.

Going back on the proposal thing, a lot of people (myself included. hehe) have been asking-- "so where's the ring?" No ring yet my friends. Beloved assured me that it will follow soon. How soon? Only God knows. Hehe... He told me that night (March 17, 2009) that was not know how he imagined his proposal would be, but then it happened so he let it be...

Now I don't know if he's still planning to do a take two or what though I'm hoping he will, it still wouldn't matter if there would be one or none.. I'm okay with anything! :-)

That's it for now.

Bow.
