ABBEY & WILMA | 10 YEAR VOW RENEWAL | OUR DIY PRIVATE EXCHANGING OF VOWS AT A HOTEL ROOM 2021

In my previous post, you have read how we want our wedding to be simple, intimate and on the budget. Now, on our 10th year we celebrated it privately, just me and Abbey. 

How private? We didn’t even tell this to our family and closest to the close friends. Haha. We planned to explore other part of the world but due to the travel restrictions we were pushed to booked a room hotel, bought a ring, shop for clothes and ordered a in-room dining. 

We facilitated what are some lacking on our wedding gala (Except for releasing doves) Abbey and I toast a wine and cut a cake. Well in style. Wotttwotttt We have saved funds for the whole 2020 for this event and we have the guilt-free splurging for our 10th year. 

Remember, it is not how people think about you and your married life. It is about how you and your spouse communicate and learn to understand and provide each other’s needs and wants. 

Yiheeee. Love you my forever Abbey!!

Is your wedding PERFECT? Well, ours is not!

We will be celebrating our 10th year anniversary soon and while watching our video it suddenly hit my mind that our wedding is not perfect. 

I hate big gatherings and I am quite thrifty in spending money which is a good combination in arranging an intimate event. Haha! But do you know that we crossed our budget even if we all planned it to be simple as possible? Our budget is only Php100k but I am surprised the expenditure went up to 300k. Whew! Take note that the extra 200k is not from debt. 

It seems that it is easy to arrange a wedding but is really not. Many people are involved and for sure many unsolicited ideas will pop up and if you do not want stress you need to let go of some and just focus on the wedding ceremony details.

Okay so let’s go back to the subject of this blog, why my wedding is not perfect? Well the ceremony which I really focused on what I want to have and not is absolutely superb. Some ceremonies like cake cutting, wine tossing and even releasing of doves were not executed. And the reason? Well, all of the materials are there but it seems the day is too lengthy for me and Abbey and we just want to finish the event for us to start our life as a married couple. 

Well, our wedding might not be perfect to the eyes of people but I am proudly to say that our marriage is.
