Wedding Essentials (eep!)

So in the latest Wedding Essentials issue, I get a makeover! Haha! I am hardly model material but big thanks to Crae for this fun opportunity!

Because of my itty-bitty eyes, I usually put dark eyeliner on the top and bottom. The make-up artist in this shoot didn’t though which felt weird but I guess it turned out all good in the end so no worries! She’s the make-up artist after all!

Oh and, I never go out the house without make-up though so the “before” photo really makes me cringe (haha!) but since God made me this way, I shall be proud and happy! Haha! Rest assured, you will never see me in that state outside of the house EVER. :)

A lot of you guys have been asking for a while now for details on my husband-to-be and more about our love story. Sorry I haven’t been getting much on the details (my fiance’s a pretty private person haha!) but here’s a teaser!

“This is how we know what love is; Jesus Christ laid down His life for us.” (1 John 3:16)

Our “Save the Date” cards / Chinese Engagement Souvenir. We initially had no plans of creating “save-the-dates” but we wanted to give guests, from our engagement party last month, a little something! And since all the guests there are also invited to our wedding anyway, we decided a simple save-the-date card with a Bible verse would be perfect!

And also, lots of people are asking me on my ask box. The answer is: the wedding is next year! Now you know! ;)

(A photo showing how it was displayed on the plates can be found here!)

Last June, we had our Chinese Engagement party and it was wonderful. (Sorry can’t post photos! Haha!) Anyway, Mor and I decided that we wanted to put nice illustrated cards on each of the guest’s plate. The front’s a drawing I made of us, which also serves as our simple “Save the Date” and the back’s a verse we both love.

Here’s a teaser! Heehee. A shot from one of our photographers, Rain. I’ll show you guys the drawing (front) later! ;)

Hi everyone! Thank you for all the well wishes on our recent engagement. A lot of people have been sending me messages asking for details about our love story and about my boyfriend (now fiancé!) because I hardly talk about us here on my Tumblr. It’s not that I don’t want to share, it’s just that everything is so overwhelming, I don’t know where to begin.

Our story is a story we didn’t write. God made everything work out and we can both attest to that. Everything from our meeting, to the time we got to know each other, to the time he stated his intentions to court me and even up to the proposal, everything was just God steering us to the right direction, quite literally! God always made a way and God always changed our plans, but it was all for the best because the story He wrote for us is so much more than we could have ever dreamed of. It was all His perfect timing, and not ours, and until now, I still stand in awe of Him for everything that He’s doing in our lives.

I know what I just said was so vague, but if I get into the details, it will take us forever. I would love to share with you our story, but maybe not today. Actually, Mor’s been asking me to make a cute picture/story book about it, and maybe I will, so I guess you’ll have to watch out and wait for that! Hee!

I just wanted to write this post to thank everyone who’s been sending their congratulations and at the same time, hopefully, encourage you to wait on God’s best and to trust Him in all His plans. Remember, waiting doesn’t mean, not doing anything. Waiting is doing His will while you wait on His promises. Truly if you just follow Him with all your heart, let go and let God, everything will unfold beautifully.

Let God write your love story.

He asked me at Batanes and I said yes. Guess what? I’m officially engaged!
