#MelRiestoforeverandalways

You know you're getting older when you are now attending Bridal Showers and Weddings. One of my highschool best friend, got married last Saturday and I was one of her secondary sponsor (I can't be her bridesmaid anymore because I'm now married) Her wedding motif is color peach and mint green. She's the second to get married in our Barkada. (I'm the first! Hehe)

* Mr. and Mrs. D *

Thank you Sam of Frida Salon for making me all dolled up for my friend's wedding. Sam made my eyes' look so big and I really really loved it!!!

My very thoughtful Mom knows that I'll be extra hungry due to wedding preparations and pictorials so she asked Ali to bring me some of her chocolates. When I opened my first chocolate, it has a small saying:

  "Friendship is the greatest gift"

Very timely. Our barkada started way back in 2002. WOW!!! That was 13 years ago!!! I feel so old. Hahaha! Well, it only means that our friendship was destined to last forever, through ups and downs, young and old and even though were not always seeing each other everyday like the good old days, were still very intact. I'm so happy that I found my soul sisters. My second family. I love you girls!

Our story

August 21, 2010, my gay friends asked me to join them for a "gay's night out" and they also want me to get out of the house (this was after a bad break up from my seven years relationship). That's when I met my husband, Ali. 

                                                        * Our first picture together. Haha! 

After four months of courtship, I finally said yes on December 29, 2010. Two years and 17lbs lighter, he popped the magical question any girl dreamed of. People ask me, when did you know that he's the right one? I told them, when were watching a TV Series, there's an episode that a couple got married and then I blurted out: "Pangarap ko yan eh" and he said "Pwede bang ako nalang ang tumupad ng pangarap mo na yan?" He is my dream come true, he turns wrong to right, he is my opposite attraction and the love of my life. He will do everything for me, hard and easy. My protector, my guardian Angel and I thank God everyday that he has blessed me with this man. 

One year of wedding preparation, hard work and saving, we finally got hitched. Our magical day, my dream wedding and the start of our new journey with each other and God. Sharing to you some of our wedding pictures.

One year has passed and were still adjusting to our married life. We had arguments, petty fights but we are having a lot of fun living together. As they always say:

                           "Marriage is not happy ending, but its HARD WORK" 

Join me in exploring the do's and dont's of marriage, our new adventures as husband and wife and soon know what it feels like to be a Mommy.
