Reminiscing My Own Wedding


A colleague of mine will be getting married next month and with just a few weeks to go, I can’t help but notice her excitement. Last week, we had the chance to talk about her wedding over a cup of coffee and I couldn’t help but remember my own wedding preparations. I love weddings and I really had a grand time preparing for my own wedding.  Hubby and I made sure that we were hands-on during our wedding preparations and that’s why it took us almost a year to prepare for a big event.

Looking back at our preparations, one of the challenges that we faced was looking for the right suppliers. Hubby was very particular with our photo and video coverage because according to him, those are the only remembrance that we would have of our once in a lifetime event. I can’t help but agree to him because after 4 years of being married, we would often look at our wedding album or play our wedding video and reminisce that grandest day of our lives.

Another challenge that we faced at the time was looking for the perfect wedding bands. Although I fell in love with quite a number of designs, we also had to consider what would look good on my husband’s finger. Since I am from Bulacan and there are good jewelers in nearby towns, we initially thought of having a custom-made wedding bands. We even looked through triton wedding bands for inspiration so that the design of hubby’s wedding ring would match the design of the wedding band that I had in mind for my own wedding ring. However, when we dropped by Hearts & Arrows we saw a pair of wedding ring made of white gold with a lone diamond on the center. It’s really a simple wedding ring but hubby and I decided to go for it so that we could have an identical wedding band.

Indeed wedding preparations can be really stressful but when you see the result of all those hard work on your big day, you will be saying to yourself that it was worth all the effort. In fact, I would love to go through that whole process of preparations and get married again to the same man I married 4 years ago. It was really fun doing all those things with the man I love and be able to spend the rest of my life with him.
