Still hasn't hit me as much. But I do get teary eyed thinking about what my dad would say during his speech. How my dad would be when he walks me down the aisle. Seeing the man I waited for 30 years finally next to me. How everything you dreamed and hoped for, crammed into that single moment that would change the rest of your life.
I always imagined being married. I was one of those girls who always hoped for it and PRAYED for it. I remember Tita Geline teaching me to pray for it specifically since I was 16 years old. And I did. I can still recall moments, like when I would be stuck in traffic on my way to school, I would find myself praying for my future husband and hoping that everything's okay wherever and whoever he was.
Then in one split second, after waiting for so long, he's finally in front of me. One of the miracles that God has up His sleeve that is just too amazing for words.
In all this chaos, I find myself picking out fonts for our invitations, wedding bands, giveaways... I have to pause sometimes and think, "Is this really me?" "Is this really my turn?"
In our barkada I always thought it would be Elena. I always thought I would be one of those really late bloomers. I guess I guessed wrong.
My destiny was almost literally right around the corner. How could I have missed someone who looked like this?

Love this picture! Awww... My dad surprised me when he saw this picture and said, "If this is how my grandkid would look like, I wouldn't mind at all." Awww... I get tears in my eyes again just typing it.
PICTORIAL TIME:
Had our pictorial this weekend with Bordoy as our photographer. Funny how we ended up having it in Talon. But I wouldn't have wanted it anywhere else. Besides being the family's property, this was my family's legacy. My great grandfather, grandfather and father walked this land and made it their pride with all the sacrifices that went along with it. My best childhood memories are from that place. The people there I consider my family.
It was an experience in itself. I am still the kind of person who prefers to be behind the camera. Having all that attention on us was one thing. I am also not a PDA person either. Having tricycles and jeeps go buy at certain locations made me want to sink under the grass we were sitting on.
The experience taught me to appreciate family even more and the family that I will be having soon.
IS THIS ME?
Fitting my wedding dress for the first time. Well, the lining anyway. What an out of body experience it was.
The same place where I had all those bridesmaid dresses made. I think I might have every color already. Then all of a sudden, here I am before a mirror, in white. Is that really me?
What an amazing feeling. What an amazing time in my life. Its not perfect and far from being one. But its mine. No one else's.
Here's to more updates!
