A Destined Wedding ( Tuguib - Fontanilla Wedding, November 8, 2009)




Arlyn is my third-generation bride-client. Third generation though unlike the anti-microbial medications, this bride-client of my is the third batch of bride that has commissioned me to do her wedding gown and female entourage gowns coming from a big medical center along Taft and United Nations Ave. She came in early to consult with me for her wedding preparations. Just finished her post-graduate internship program, she has soon decided to tie the knot with Rey, a registered nurse working in London.



It was a long-distance relationship and somehow, it was kinda difficult in preparing their wedding arrangements. From an October date, they have decided to move it two weeks after and alas! I was requested to do the apparels in just one month. I knew I was having another wedding on that same date. It was a good thing that Arlyn and Rey's ceremony time was set in the morning.


We thought we could be with her at 7:00 am to assist her with her dressing only to find ourselves driving around the block for roads were closed and rerouted for an ongoing fun run activity. We arrived as a five man team assisting the entire female entourage for whatever last minute things there was to attend to. Arlyn looked so beautiful and radiant that morning.






It was a transformation from a regular doctor to a wedding belle. It was indeed a revelation. It was a exciting and emotional moment for Arlyn and Rey as their folks have come all the way from La Union and Pangasinan for this momentous event. The mood was joyous and festive. You can feel the excitement of everyone. It was a Sunday morning , the ceremony started at exactly 10:00 am, as the cathedrals' music started to play hinting the commencement of the bridal march, we assisted Arlyn as she got of from her bridal limousine and made sure she was groomed properly while awaiting for the opening of the huge steel door of the cathedral which is known to be the only steel constructed church in Asia.


Everything went smoothly as expected. Her chosen wedding coordinators came in full force making there presence noticed and had been handling the proceeding smoothly.
It was a wedding destined to be.
