His Cake

On February 6th of this year, I remember asking my future husband of how his cake would be on our very own wedding day and he gave me a cool, calm, collected answer. A DIAMOND-shape. And I was like-- HUH? Where did you get that idea, man? (with great disapproval) but wait, how do I define a real diamond he was talking about or should I say from his best reply, is that how HE DEFINE his feelings toward his woman; the person whom he has chosen to be with for the rest of his life? So should there be more questions to raise? After a long pause, my heart suddenly jumped and went back to reality. What on earth was that that I heard from him-- I cannot picture a diamond-shaped cake standing with its sharp point in front of a crowd in a wedding reception, can he? Or should that be sculpted flatly on its cakestand? I was trying to expound on a more symbolic creation with both of our personality manifested on it or something as a take-home gift (but it's gonna be the real cake for cutting too)... I mean, the cake could be a replica of the DRUMSET he has been playing with 8 years ago when we were beginning to be boyfriends and stuff or anything funny, stuffs like that... but it's fine, I just went hysterical as an initial reaction and that would do. Can that possibly be made with a gum paste? Ah, so much for that. The design will surely change later on once he changes his mind.

STATEMENT. One unique way I can surprise my fiance and maybe our guests is to have our personal wedding vows be written around the cake to make it more unforgettable and special. I sure hope Karla Magbanua's Art is the answer in line with capturing what we really wanted on our simple celebration.

Getting Back To Where I Started

I am smiling at the moment. I know, it has been a while since I have opened my humblesouls blog and I so much miss everything in it. Have been busy as usual with work. And today, I had the time to walk in to some stalls at the mall to finalize what I wanted as throw aways for our wedding. I have gone through my new Wedding Essentials' Volume 4 Issue I for January to June 2008 and I said before that I am completing my copies until the day I get married. I had it with me for a couple of days untouched with only four pages skimmed.

I dunno, there are mixed emotions going on maybe because I am so nervous of the big day, as well as preparing for it and yet I am finally decided to settle down with this running 8-year old boyfriend-dad-of-my-kiddos.

Late in the afternoon, I met my friends Jacqui and Jetro at SM Mega Mall together with his son Ethan, my daughter Gaielle and our little friend Blythe, and I was telling them all that maybe I am a bit ready to say I DO after all the troubles.... long pause.... should I say? And were any troubles? Hahaha... Friends and relatives who do know me may understood what I'm saying. And there's this feeling of TYING YOUR LIFE with the man you choose to be with lifetime... but this is it. I finally said MY YES early of April last year and there I believe there will be no turning back.

NO DOUBT. The man has been with me through thick and thin, and I if I were to choose between the man I love and the man who loves me I'll offer my entire life the most to the man who loves me. There's one and only best way to describe a special person who has showed me his great respect, dignity and courage despite our situation today-- I am so blessed to have him. Driving home from the office yesterday at dawn after he has fetched me-- there's just so much going on inside me I cannot express. I just looked at him and whispered THANK YOU, for every single thing.

Ceremony Cord

Last January, I have gotten in touch with Pam Sulit who will personally create our hand-crafted wedding ceremony cord made (very unique!) to symbolize the union of souls this year. It would definitely have to meet the motif and wedding theme and I have finally placed my order today. An all-crystal classic design (yep, no pearls!) to give way for the pre-hispanic or old wedding theme I wanted. I have considered the SHERINIE ORANGE AND ESPRESSO and another, the REAN PLUM. In a post-Chrismas celebration, color plum would be best suiting for the motif of burgundy or red wine. Well, Jojo has never changed his mind on our motif yet, am not sure but I am having second thoughts too late.

This of which will fall into a wedding collectible item that will be preserved and will be handed down to my daughter Ianthe Gabrielle, and husband-to-be in the future. I am sure how much a PAMANA will be appreciated by our one and only, lovely beautiful princess.
