Meeting Magic “I met the man of my dreams, Andy, in April 2015, just two weeks after I arrived home from my mission. As a filipina, I still adhere to so much conservatism, but lo and behold — I fell in love with him so easily! We decided to get married March 12, 2016.”
Dream Seams “As a fashion designer, I made my own bridal gowns. I participated in Utah Fashion Week two weeks before my wedding, so having designed and sewed bridal gowns for the event, I made it a point to make them all beautiful. As a child, I have been dreaming to wear my own bridal creation on my wedding day. I wore an immaculate white gown on my wedding day, and at the reception I chose to wear my off-white colored gown.”
Family + Flowers “Our loved ones, relatives and friends came to be with me and my husband in celebration of our wedding day. It was one huge celebration.  The reception could not have been more lovely with those beautiful flowers in my bouquet, in our hair and at the tables.”
Perfect Program “The program itself was truly amazing. My sister played the piano and I played the violin as we serenaded the groom with a surprise musical filipino piece. We became teary-eyed as we listened to our parents’ marriage advice. Since it was the first wedding for both of our families, it was total excitement.”
Dance The Night Away “The groom got the surprise of his life when I danced in front of him, along with my cousins and my father. Filipinos really know how to throw a party!”
Thankful “Whoever said there are weddings made in heaven is absolutely right! Ours was.”
