Gerald and Rochelle's Memorable 12-12-12

Our very first December wedding.

Today, Chingching's godfather, Ninong Gerald & his beautiful wife Rochelle finally exchanged I Do's...

Who would even think that their paths would cross? Two very different people leading different lives, a happy go-lucky guy who was comfortably at ease with his bachelorhood, and a pretty charmer who was  having the time of her life. Fate had its way of defining what must become of us when we finally meet our match. When I first met Rochelle at my  baby's birthday party, we knew there was something there. Gerald never looked more in love than he is now. And we had an inkling we were a few months shy from hearing their Save-The-Date. I guess I was right after all.

It was a beautiful day for a wedding.  Pamela, Leihson  and I headed to the hotel to tend to Rochelle's bridal preps and upon getting there, we were greeted by a very relaxed bride having her make up done. The room was pleasingly peaceful, and so was our couple. Rochelle was all smiles the whole time even when we made her get into the tub full of rose petals for her pre-wedding pictures.  Gerald on the other hand was just as relaxed, though you could sense the anticipation building up inside him.

Rochelle looked magnificently lovely in her wedding gown. She was the picture of a woman who has found Mr. Right. Giddy with excitement, anticipating the future, today was her day and she never looked more beautiful. Same goes for our groom who was just as nervous yet excited. I reminded them to take things in slowly as this would all go by so fast.

The moment came when the bride had to take her walk down the aisle. She radiantly took her steps, slowly, like she was floating on air.  It was by far one of the most solemn weddings I have ever witnessed.  Gerald  ended up in tears upon seeing her bride on the aisle. Love was over-flowing. Everyone was caught in the moment.

Everything  fell perfectly into place. The church was adorned with white flowers which complemented the old feel of the building, our florist Martha took care of the details and made sure the place looked amazing.

The ceremony was  very heartfelt, everyone was intently listening to the homily, and before we knew it, the officiating priest officially announced Gerald and Rochelle as husband and wife.

A beautiful reception party followed at the ballroom of Antel Grand Village.. The couple's family and friends started pouring in and mingled in all the fun. The program was laid-back, everyone was so relaxed and happy, the mood was very light. Even  our whole  team  claims they felt so at ease with everything, no stress whatsoever.

Definitely  a very  memorable 12-12-12... To Gerald and Rochelle, we wish you a wonderful married life ahead... Cheers to you, guys!!
