Wazzup Pilipinas!
Whenever I see beautiful weddings, I reminisce the days when my wife and I once became equally busy preparing for our own wedding plans. Like all other couples that are planning to get married, we both wanted it to be truly special, and tried our best to give everything we got just to make it the most memorable celebration of our lives.
But also like most couples, we were both young and inexperienced, so there were a lot of struggles. Sometimes we get so caught up in making the big day polished and perfect that we forget to have fun and live in the moment. But what I liked most about all the effort and brainstorming to come up with our own dream wedding is that we shared equally memorable times of sleepless nights, wandering thoughts and hopeful expectations as we drew near that special day when we finally exchange vows, delightful laughter and sweet promises.
If you can still recall our blog coverage of a surprise wedding proposal, followed by another article which tells the story of the planning stage for an island dream wedding, we now bring you the story of the actual wedding itself - the culmination of a love story between two individuals that are now intimately bonded as one and both ready to face the beginning of more wonderful chapters in their lives as husband and wife.
The fairy tale-like island wedding plans I told you about last December 2013 just came true last April 26, 2014, and this is their wedding story retold through my eyes. I am totally inspired by their love story. I also remembered that endearing wedding proposal that brought most of the attendees to an emotion of mixed tears and delight.
There were a million blessings to be thankful during the wedding day, and many of them are enveloped in this blog article. The scenes you are about to see are so breathtaking that we strongly suggest that you take a seat before you scroll down. So, just sit back, relax, and let this love story unfold right before your eyes!
It takes a lot of passionate research and well-thought-of planning to be able pull off a beautiful dream wedding that’s both elegant and daring at the same time.
"A beautiful wedding is like a melodious tune where notes just blend so well together that the song evokes overwhelming emotions."
Jeff and Majan’s affair has left us swaying to a symphony of love, romance and beauty. With softness and sweetness found in every frame, it’s hard not to float on clouds of whimsy and delight.
The wedding organizers are kicking it off with a bucket full of creativity. Let's just say that the initial wedding setup sets the tone or impression of the journey ahead so it's important to give it a lasting and unique appeal that many will remember regardless of how many wedding ceremonies they encounter afterwards.
A couple of lovely white doves would always play a serene role in every wedding ceremony. Their white color evokes purity and sincerity that are welcomed in this special occasion.
I must have been doing cartwheels in my mind when I saw the entirety of the preparations done to spruce up the place. There’s a good reason why my feelings revel in customized weddings like this. The laid-back vibe together with that pop of color brings so much understated elegance, it makes me grin with delight! There’s just something about the view of the lighthouse, the bay, and the nearby island decorated to a fancy, that makes the wedding dreamy and utterly magical.
Dramatic and all-around fetching decorations that surrounded the wedding areas with the correct mixture, the perfect shade and the right amount of pizzazz, this wedding affair was that of pure limitless bliss. Everything else followed suit in terms of elegance and charm.
Everything was just way too adorable to ignore. Put everything together and throw it against the picturesque landscape of The Lakeshore, and you really got yourself a dream wedding!
I was also held captive by Majan's bridal gown with impeccable fit and artistic craftsmanship. The bridal gown was subtly highlighted with those hues of gorgeous golden colors along the edges, and that bouquet of flowers that really stood out as well and left me with my jaws dropped and eyes glued to the bride.
We all know that the bridal gown is more than just a dress. It is a representation of your forever and the centerpiece of wedding memories and photographs that will transcend time. The exquisite and luxurious wedding gown shaped the moment and framed the brides true beauty.
Majan was radiantly glowing with beauty. Chic and pretty, the bride was just as enchanting and whimsical as the island props and decors enhanced with a bit of modern flair. There’s just nothing lovelier than sweet romantic lighting effects and flower arrangements to complement the sweetest day of your life. I’ve been actually swooning over every single thing that I've seen so kudos to the wedding organizers who helped the couple arrange this sophisticated wedding setup!
As if all the pretty details weren’t enough, Jeff has induced us into a wishful daydreaming state by the way he took Majan's hand. If your heart isn’t overflowing yet from all the love spilling out of these photos, then continue to read on, but be ready to shed a tear (or two)!
You can imagine my delight when I saw Jeff and Majan’s drop-dead gorgeous attires! Simple but with the right amount of flair. There’s just really nothing like the flawlessness of a simple but well-thought-of wedding attire. Tie those elements together with a head-over-heels-in-love couple that looked totally smitten with each other. You could almost feel the oozing chemistry between them. I am sure that you’ll agree that the couple is definitely a match made in heaven!
Like an intricately designed embroidery pattern, Jeff and Majan’s love for each other looks breathtakingly gorgeous. The two’s undying love for each other was definitely captured by the camera. I can’t help but feel all mushy and giddy!
There’s just nothing more "daydreamy" than a radiant couple like Jeff and Majan exchanging vows on an island as pure and simple as their love for each other. The special day made memorable with a handful of close friends and loved ones who took time to celebrate love at its finest hour.
"We now have each other, officially as husband and wife. Together, we are as one. We will travel in this journey together, side by side."
Not all roads are the same so it is best traveled with a companion who will be ready to support us all the way regardless how bumpy or smooth. All of us may want to go to different destinations by several means, but what is important is how we enjoyed the trip together.
"We would always reminisce those memorable days together when we both wanted to conquer the world so that we could give each other everything that we believe are truly special."
I would always be a hopeless romantic because I remembered myself saying to my wife that I would try to reach the stars and make a necklace out of it so I could let her wore and flaunt my affection towards her. But that was me intentionally exaggerating and wishing for an impossibility just to impress.
But like they say, when you dream, dream BIG, so that you'll be more inspired to accomplish more than you ever wanted. But what really inspired me the most was the thought that I was doing all the hard work not just for me, but for my lovely wife, and our soon-to-be family.
"But as long as we have each other, I could care less of what others may perceive. Our love is not measured by how much cake I let you eat, but by how intimately I offered it to you."
We can choose to eat at any fancy restaurant, or just along the corner enjoying street food from our "suking" vendor. As long as we continue to enjoy the company of each other, it doesn't really matter if we are sharing gourmet or junk food. "Lamang tiyan lang sila pareho" and so I don't really care what goes in my tummy, as long as you are forever in my heart.
The ultimate scene stealer of them all? This wedding cake shaped like a cruise ship with the bride and groom on top is very meaningful to the couple and evokes a lot of personal fond memories between them. Their close friends and relatives can relate as well.
As if intentional, the bride shines out as the prettiest lady among her entourage. It has been said that you are really with a domineering aura during your wedding day since it is an affair that throttles you up to your peak when all you could feel that moment is the joy in your heart and the aspirations of a great life ahead with the man you have chosen to grow old with for the rest of your life.
I swoon over weddings because every single one has a different way of reflecting the romantic in me. It has made me squeal with delight with the pleasant reminder that it is so fun to get married!
What could be more romantic than exchanging your wedding vows on an exclusive private island that you rented for your most special occasion. There is also something really magical when you are under the twinkling stars and the stunning moon making it undoubtedly really as memorable as the moment when you said your sweet "I do" to your special someone that will soon become your partner through life.
The elegant island wedding held at The Lakeshore was a refreshing take that's different from the traditional day-time church weddings. From the impressive looking decors, to the amazing photos by Bogs Ignacio, down to the bridal gown that totally encapsulated how beautiful Majan's personality is (I could have sworn she grew even more charming the last time I saw her) – all I can do is steady my heart that's already palpitating too much from all of these "prettiness!"
A definite thumbs up to a wonderful wedding! I send my congratulations to the new couple. May both of them flourish well and continue to be immensely creative in expressing their unfaltering love towards each other.
