The Bride and Groom from Singapore ( Ilao - Togoto Wedding, November 8, 2009)

Joel and Racquel were referred wedding clients to me by a dear coordinator friend Jody.
Both based in Singapore, they were really up to the planning of this wedding. Despite their distance from Manila, they made sure to allot time to come home to check on how things are doing. My assistant Roem had been so effective in communicating and facilitating the concerns and request of this very pleasant couple. It was a slowly but surely hit wedding production for us.

Even their folks were very pleasant and we had a swift time accomplishing this task.
Coming from a wedding morning service to another couple, me and my staff has decided not to return to the office anymore and instead, has decided to have lunch in a Mall.
We were really early arriving at the hotel and everyone seem to be having a good and relaxed moment.





The bayview was outstanding from Racquel's bridal sweet on the 23rd floor of the hotel. All brides are beautiful on their wedding day at very least I can say. Of course me and my staff were all tired from the morning's wedding service but we didn't feel it very much as when we see that all the dresses we made looked good on everyone. Racquel had a long time being photographed before finally leaving the hotel to proceed to the cathedral. At 4:30 pm, the bridal march started.


We assisted Racquel upon getting off from her bridal limousine. Making sure everything was in place from her petticoat, to her skirt, and the blusher veil in front. The wind was posting us a challenge having to position the 5-yard veil but of course upon entering the air-conditioned cathedral, it was a smooth flow from there. The wedding music assisted Racquel as she marched the very long aisle of the cathedral.
Our work for the day is finally done. Tired and exhausted, it was indeed a long day for me and my staff. But the day's effort was worth it. Job well done!
