-To keep momentum - Slicing of the Cake and Toasting of win

Kimmie: May we rquest the couple to proceed at the cake's table… `Gentlemen and gentlewomen! Could we have your attention please for the cutting of the cake and beer toasting. The cake, which has been a part of wedding celebrations since the Roman times, is a symbol of good luck and fertility. The sharing of this food symbolizes the couple's willingness to fulfill each other's needs, creating a bond so simple and yet so strong...

(cake cutting ... )

LEMBERG : Unlike many other couple, Mark and Dashi chose beer instead of wine. Although wine represents ... but in reality , Mark and Dashi usually share beer in many special occasions. Let me call on the best man Mr. Voltaire Leysonn to say a few words for the newlywed.He is the person who literally saw the romance between the groom and the bride blossom into a serious relationship.

VOLTAIRE:

Good evening...
tell something about the couple (brief)
Mark and Dashi,
You're decision to unite as one is fitting if there is love in your hearts ...

Water is the essence of life , but when water is combined with grains,hops and yeast, the outcome is glorious beer. SO TOO SHALL BE THE PRODUCT OF THEIR UNION.

It is an unselfish union between beer's basic ingredients that makes the finished product truly magical. It is an unsefish union of beer's ingredients that makes beer truly magnificient. SO TOO WILL BE YOUR MARRIAGE.

Love is the water of your beer.Trust is the grain that will give your marriage its character and strength. Passion like hops will add fragrance and spice to your life together. Your commitment to one another is the yeast that act as the catalyst to make this glorious as union -- this metaphysical wonder -- possible.

And now that the yeast has been added and the fermentation of your love has begun,there are vast changes ahead. Open your hearts wider than they have ever been opened before and rise up to meet these changes. Open your thoughts wider than they have ever been opened before and consume these changes. Let them fill your spirits and intoxicate your souls..Abandon all previous disappointments and past events that may have held you back and look forward toward your future with one fresh spirit, one fresh love , with one fresh beer.

LEMBERG : Thanks Voltaire... And now it's time for us to know who
among mark and dashi finish the beer the fastest ... Mark and dashi..
are u ready at the count of 3 ...ready 1, 2, 3 go...


III. WELCOME ADRESS

( Who Am I video ..allan will insert a short prayer during the

In the name of the Father ,the Son ,and of the Holy Spirit Amen...
Heavenly Father, Love has been your richest and greatest gift to this world. Love which matures into marriage. Today, we celebrate that love.

Male: It is said that our parents are our first teachers having raised us patiently from childhood to adulthood. They have been our source of comfort, support and inspiration.

KIMMIE: Yes that's right . Mark and Dashi are truly blessed with such wonderful parents and I’m quite sure when it comes to knowing what marriage is all about, they always have a word or two to share to their children.

VIII. Mark's surprise number


IX .SAND CEREMONY

Kimmie: explains (The Meaning of the Unity Sand Ceremony)- The flowing sand and blending of the colors in the Unity Sand Ceremony symbolize the bringing together of two lives into one. The two sands symbolize everything that the bride and groom have been or will become in the future.The blending of the sand represents the union not only of them but their friends and families as well. The separate sands once poured into the unity vase can never be put back into their separate vases. They are forever entwined just as the lives and loves of the bride and groom. Some couples prefer to leave a small amount of sand in their respective container to show that even though they now function as one, they remain individuals.

Hipster Romance in Church

It was my dream to blog about my wedding and I can't wait to start sharing the photos with u guys. After 5 years being united with Mark through a civil right , we finally had our church wedding on October 15 , 2011. Allow me to say , It was a unique , one of a kind wedding that only suppah cool,creative and hipster couple could have come up with considering the bugdet we've set for our big day. Hambogera ! Sige nalang gud. I really put a lot of effort and love into the preparation. Thanks to my groom for a very active participation. There were lapses as expected but our wedding still came out just the way we wanted it to be.

The concept was actually inspired by Angel and Rin's Hipster wedding. I Supper liked every details and cute elements of their wedding. It was a bit of rock, a bit of whimsy and I guess a whole lot of good ol’ hipster romance. I was so in love with their concept and style. Here are some reasons that made me go bonkers over their big day http://brideandbreakfast.ph/2012/01/09/hip-and-happy/ and http://www.cherryblocks.com/2011/02/angel-rin/ . Despite the adoration I felt for their wedding, in my heart was ... i still want our wedding to be totally different from theirs yet another cool wedding , something very DASHI and MARK.

The Theme : Though chuck taylor themed wedding is already known abroad , its still uncommon here in Pinas. Mark and I are used to wearing chucks on regular days so we decided to have a chuck taylor inspired wedding. The groom, the bride and the entourage wear chucks and we encouraged the guest to also look pretty cool with their chucks.No barongs and formal shoes even for the principal sponsors but of course there were really a few whom we couldnt force to oblige.



Motiff : We were into chocolate brown or black years away from our wedding yet it came a time that we thought of brown as boring one. Black was next in line, t'was our favorite color but to avoid being lectured by our elders we chose Pink and gray. perfectly nice color combination , trendy !

Date : Setting the date is the most important step in planning your wedding. Dates hold a very special meaning because they will forever symbolize a special moment for you and your partner. It's something you’ll remember for the rest of your life. We chose October 15 , 2011 since we were both born on this month , I on the 13th and Mark on the 17th ... and that was it, date is set!

Church: To save the date, we then booked @ The Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Parish and the time was set to 3:30 PM.




Venue: This was the hardest of all ! The things to take into account when choosing a wedding reception are the factors such as cost, venue capacity, entertainment facilities, parking lot for your guest and the ease of transport from churh. Fort San Pedro was our first choice yet aside from taking in consideration the cost , we cant take the risk of getting wet and wild on our wedding due to heavy rain. Our date falls on a 'ber month , a rainy season as anticipated. Three months before our wedding, a friend suggested an indoor reception offered by CAP Complex located in Jones , Cebu City. It's quiet expensive but we had no choice.

Many thanks to :

- Tita Lulot ( Mark's aunt ) for making my gown , mark's suit and the whole entourage attire ---> I personally chose my gown design , bridesmaids and flower girls dresses and Mark on the other hand chose the trendy designs for his groomsmen and male kids attire
- Thanks to Rg and Bryan for lending me their car.
- Jeanne and JD for taking our prenuptial photoshoot for free and Tdan for my make up
- Anne for my bridal bouquet
- Andre for the prenup photo powerpoint presentation
- & to all who in one way or another made this event a success !








Personally made by Mark to the highest effort ..lol
