My First Wedding of the Day ( Montes - Buenaventura Wedding, January 19, 2008)





Rheena and JP are professional physical therapists based in the United States. It was Rheena's mom, Ms. Ruby whom I met first for the inquiry meeting. Aside from Rheena's mom, she was entrusted to take care of some wedding preparations particularly in recommending the suppliers to Rheena. I was privileged to be Ms. Ruby's chosen designer and started preparing for Rheena's wedding. Ms. Ruby was a straight person to deal with but her virtue of compassion and appreciation have always been there. We had all the designs and fabrics prepared for the female entourage along with the Barongs for JP, the two fathers, the best man.

Rheena is based in the US, another overseas bride-client of mine but it had been a pleasant and inspiring experience we had from them. They will tell you what they want and as long as you have it accomplished, the concerns of technicalities was never an issue and work is appreciated. I think it is just to be with them on their wedding day and be able to assist them with their apparel concerns. We were at room 1525 of the Makati Shangri-la where Rheena's dressing room was. At 6:15 am, Toto Bagamasbad, their hair and make-up artist was finished with the bride and was mid-way doing Ms. Ruby's make-up.Ariel Javelosa Photography and Videography was covering the event. The beautiful bridal bouquet was by Tony Padilla of Floral designs. A six-door bridal limousine from Trans-ABi was at the hotel's entrance waiting for Rheena to bring her to church.

Ceremony venue was at the Santuario de San Antonio , Forbes Park and Reception followed at the Makati Shangri-ly. I will miss the working relationship I had with Ms. Ruby. Goes the same with Rheena who was just appreciative of our work. It will be a very memorable event for the Monteses and the Buenaventuras.
