Godday’s quiet, calm, and sweet demeanor on her big day was too contagious.  She was the perfect image of a bride who trusted and believed that everything would be perfect.  Perfect it was, from the smallest details to the really important ones.

Dindin Urquiaga, a sought after wedding stylist from Manila styled her wedding.  He flew in one of kind vases, succulents, and the yummiest desserts.  I had a hard time choosing what to try first.  He transformed Beverly View into something theater- like with the expected wedding vibe.  The centerpieces were effortlessly decorated. It looked like it was there but without trying too hard.  You know what I mean?

To Eric & Godday, thank you for having us at your wedding.  We truly enjoyed every minute of it, from the prep time to the last dance.  I could see that both of you truly love each other.  Angel told me a bit about your love story.  I wish I asked more about it the first time we met.

“Congratulations again!”

To quote the book, Have a little faithThe story of a last request by Mitch Albom:

“But I realized something as I drove home that night:  that I am neither better nor smarter, only LUCKIER.  And I should be ashamed of thinking I knew everything, because you can know the whole world and still feel lost in it.  So many people are in pain-no matter how smart or accomplished – they cry, they yearn, they hurt.  But instead of looking down on things, they look up, which is where I should have been looking, too.  Because when the world quiets to the sound of your own breathing, we all want the same things:  COMFORT, LOVE, and a PEACEFUL HEART.
