I thought no one reads our introductions but thankfully some people do! And our beautiful bride, Charlene, is one of them. She thinks our introductions add spice, well, the word she really used was “attraction.” So she shared a few information regarding her and Rey’s journey. Here’s her message:

“Finally I got a chance to browse your Lakshmi website. As I was reading through some wedding introductions, I realized you barely knew what happened behind the scenes, before the wedding and all. I thought I might share a little bit about our story. The introductions you made added the attraction about the couple in the photos. The days before our wedding Rey and I were already very busy. Since Rey just came, we had to do a lot like attending seminars, submitting requirements, buying this and that etc. Plus we started fetching Rey’s relatives on the 24th until the wedding day itself. So it was very chaotic and exhausting since Rey wanted to see or pick them up at the airport personally even if there was a hired van because his relatives came from far off places; USA, Japan and Manila. And then another turn of event is that his father couldn’t make it to Mindanao because he got sick and doctors won’t allow him to travel. But thankfully by Saturday night we all had a chatty dinner and went back to the Pearlmont Inn for another bonding time. -) Before Rey came, I was thinking of rest before the wedding day but that didn’t happen. I was a very exhausted bride. Thank God I still look like a human being LOL. So many thanks to you all at Lakshmi for the beautiful pictures. It barely shows that both of us are tired. I guess the exhaustion makes me forget to be self conscious. I have so many people to thank for so I guess si God na lang. All the blessing comes from God including the people who have helped me, us in everything.”

You’re welcome Rey and Charlene. It gives us so much happiness to know that you like the pictures we took on your most special day. Thank you so much. God bless! “_)
