It’s already been a month since our fairy tale wedding. I’m now Mrs. C! I haven’t officially changed my name and IDs, though. I’m not yet ready for the grueling process of changing all my documents, especially those involving transactions with government agencies. Oh wait, I’m a government employee! So for now and the next couple of months, I’ll still be Ms. B / Prof. B. And Mr. C / Prof. C is cool with it.
As what I was always saying, our wedding was like a big art project – with all these DIYs, crafts and whimsical, fairy woodland ideas. Anyway, here’s just a summary of all our wedding DIYs:

Trivia 1: Guess what coins we used as arrhae?
Answer: Tom’s World Tokens (and some other random arcade tokens, like Glicos). Just because Dadi and I love going to arcades!
Trivia 2: Guess what dummy rings we used during the wedding?
Answer: The old replica of “my precioooous” ring of Lord of the Rings Dadi has kept for more or less 10 years already. He gave me the smaller ring, which perfectly fit me (he kept the bigger one since he has two) when we started dating in 2010.
Surprise, surprise!!!

This topper recreated one of the scenes in our Same-Day Edit Wedding Video! 
It was done by Jona, a friend of my sister-bridesmaid Janine. Janine also did the forest topper base.

I got this idea from my highschool bff, Kenneth Surat, in a wedding he personally designed and styled in Dubai. He and my other high school bffs also helped in setting up these butterfly curtains at the reception area hours before the wedding.
Thanks also to my and Dadi’s students/UPLISSA for making all these butterfly cut outs!

Trivia No. 3: Dadi has kept ALL the receipts, tickets, photos, etc. of our dates, out of town travels, eat outs, concerts and movies we watched, as well as those tiny notes/reminders/post-its I gave him (kahit patawa na yun iba), etc. He even has a separate storage container for those! This really surprised me! Grabe lang. Ilang years na pag-collect din yun!
