mackiemaxter: Grace and Marvin Wedding

I remember I blogged sometime in August about the wedding preparation of our dear friend Grace, and how our other friend Jarvik got giddily excited with it, and I said I will leave you hanging there for a bit. Now, that long wait is over. I opened my September blog with Grace and Marvin wedding;) Surely, it was a whirlwind preparation of just a month, then Grace Ann Bernardo is now Grace Ann Bernardo-Timpog.

My beautiful friend, Grace Ann Bernardo

It was the first day of September. The gloomy weather was a perfect match with the emotional and tearful atmosphere of the bride soon as she walked down the aisle. The couple chose the Mt. Carmel Shrine Parish in New Manila Quezon City as their wedding venue (church and the reception). The "runway" of that church is long enough for the bride to walk in as well as giving her a "long" time to think of backing out. But nah, Grace marched gracefully as her groom Marvin excitingly waited for her in the altar.

the stunning and crying bride;)

the bunso and unica hija:)

The wedding organizer, Jarvik begun soft sobs that so contagious. We ended up sharing a piece of tissue. Sadly, there are only four of us who witnessed this special occasion in Grace's life. Aimee can't absent from her work, Faith was sick, Mabee is in Dubai and Jess is in the States. Johan was the maid of horror este honor, Nicole as the commentator/assistant to the organizer, Jarvik the all-around and head organizer, and me her assistant too.

The Master and The Servant:)

It was our first time to organize a wedding and it didn't came as a breeze. From seat and photo arrangements, assisting the host, securing every program sequence, up to the final message from the newly weds, it was truly exhausting. But it was all worth it. All for the love of friendship:)

It was the day that Mrs. Timpog embraced the role of being a wife. It wouldn't be an easy journey but rather a challenging one. She's a wonderful woman inside and out, I'm sure she will do a job well done, of course with Marvin's love and support, they will both build a home that is bountiful with love, respect, and understanding;) And us her friends, we'll always be here goofing around, ready to back her up as always:) Congratulations again to the newly weds and best wishes! But hey, speaking of goofing around, we didn't pass this day without having fun, even just the few us;)
