Currently interrupting all my scheduled posts to announce that Chris and I tied the knot last Sunday on September 1st! Despite a few hiccups with the extreme heat, the stereo system failing right before my entrance and around ten people not showing, it was such a fun day! During the wedding planning, I always told everyone who asked about it that I would be so relieved when the wedding’s over and honestly, I’m quite bummed that it’s over.
Everything turned out so perfectly for me and I couldn’t have asked for a better time – even the sunset hour made for the perfect backdrop for all the photos. Here are some highlights from my wedding:
- Made $$$ during the money dance. Totally worth it.
- Family and friends from Canada, Philippines, Nevada, Texas and California came out for my wedding so I felt all of the love.
- Nancy and I finally got to meet Kim in person and we tore up the dance floor! Blogger friends are the best kinda friends!
- My childhood friend, Keisha, flew in from Australia. We’ve been friends since 2000 and it was our first time seeing each other again since 2007.
- Cried during the father/daughter dance with Rod Stewart’s Forever Young playing in the background.
- Dancing to YMCA to end the night. Oh and the Macarena showdown.
I had such a blast and I can’t wait to see the photographer’s photos and to write a more detailed post about all the things I DIY-ed for my big day. In the meantime, check out these videos my friend, Keisha, and my cousin, Angie, made.
Until the next adventure, my friends. ♥

September 8, 2019 at 12:08 AMEena!! I am so happy for you and Chris! Even though there was a crazy heatwave, I would still do it again for you! HEhe. You and Chris are the CUTEST!! It was so much fun. I loved the entire ceremony. Your families are super down to earth and it was so cool to meet Kim and Angie, hehe. It was fun. And yay, I made it in the photo strips, hehe. I am glad everything went well for you overall in the wedding. At least the hiccups were just that and nothing worse. I love the videos that Keisha and Angie made! Many positive wishes to you and Chris ♥

Every wedding has a few hiccups, and a few no show guests hahaha – but it’s amazing how, when you look back, none of that is what you remember. You remember the loved ones who were there to celebrate with you, the laughter and the tears, the random candid moments, etc.

September 12, 2019 at 6:32 PMOH MY, Congratulations!!!Your wedding looked great, love all the little details and I like that you dress is not strapless. I worked in the wedding industry for years and I am so over strapless. Oh too bad the music failed and yes people not showing is frustrating.
