Ceremony was at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, Project 6, QC The story of Sam & Dimples is one that we shall never forget. Dimples was hospitalized about two months or so prior their wedding date for Dengue. She suffered from several complications like losing her eye sight, inability to walk or even talk. Sam told us that they all thought she was never going to recover. Fortunately she did, she slowly began to walk, regained her vision , her speech was still a bit slurry a week prior the wedding but she could say things slowly..if we did not understand we resorted to typed SMS messages :). Dimples asked me to answer in her behalf during the ceremony but told her I could not do this..she would have to be the one to answer the priest and the vows herself..no matter how long it took. It did take a lot of effort on her part, but she was able to manage. :) Because o... http://msbleu.multiply.com/photos/album/154/Sam_Dimples_09.25.11 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 04:46:56 -0000 http://msbleu.multiply.com/photos/album/153/AlMarren_09.23.10 Sastrillo-Dimaculangan Nuptials 23rd September 2010 St. James the Great, Ayala Alabang & Fernbrook Gardens Turnover-Coordination Al & Marren booked with us at one of bridal fairs we joined and I distinctly remember Al doing all the talking with Marren smiling and nodding at his side. Her very quiet demeanor and beautiful presence did not go unnoticed though as she had this elegant nature about her. Throughout the planning process Marren would still be smiling most of the time but she would also give inputs and speak when Al decided to pause..(hahaha..peace Al). Al is such a jolly person to be with and he seemed to be the more anxious one between the two during the preps up until the day of the wedding itself... most of the calls i would receive too were from him. It is very seldom that we see Grooms who are totally hands-on but Al is such a pleasant groom to deal with ..and of course Marren is one type of bride we would love to work with too over and over again!

We would often see father & son together during Walter's gigs ..sometimes Mommy Zamora would be on board the truck too. A truly close-knit family supporting each one's endeavor which must have palyed a great part in the success of Walter Zamora Enterprises -one of the leading Sounds & Lights and staging provider for several corporate clients including ABS-CBN , where he is a mainstay. He also does social events such as weddings, debuts and etc. We were asked by the very soft-spoken Walter himself to handle this event and just add the finishing touches. We thought of the games, bought prizes, we also did the partial drapings (yes, we did manage to do that somehow!) engaged the services of Myra Lorenzo to host the evening, while Walter got hold of Kim (singer) and the popular... http://msbleu.multiply.com/photos/album/152/Daddy_Levy_at_64_081710 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 01:46:11 -0000 http://msbleu.multiply.com/photos/album/151/JunKaren_073110 Jun + Karen 07.31.10 San Guillermo Church, Talisay Batangas & Club Balai Isabel On-the-Day Coordination First met Atty. Jun & Karen at a bridal fair in Megamall where they booked with us. Due to their very busy schedule, we only got to meet several times but these were power meetings..with lotsa yosi breaks! Jun is actually a very thoughtful and sweet groom always mindful of what Karen wants or thinks about whatever is being discussed. Karen is the least stressed bride I have ever met...so cool and so relaxed , so assured that her prince in shining armor has everything covered. And, he did! Every last detail was arranged, vendors were well-fed, decor and vendors all checked on the day of the wedding...he was on hand for anything we all needed. His family was also super nice, just as Karen's was. A real pleasure to work with.. It is also worth mentioning that the lovely gown worn by Karen was her Mom's labor of love!This is the first time that I have had a Bride wear her o... http://msbleu.multiply.com/photos/album/151/JunKaren_073110 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 01:24:07 -0000 http://msbleu.multiply.com/photos/album/150/95th_Birthday_of_Valentina_Uy Valentina Uy turns 95! 07.02.2010 OTD Crowne Plaza Hotel Grand Ballroom Gowns by Susie Bonaobra Music by The Sentimental http://msbleu.multiply.com/photos/album/150/95th_Birthday_of_Valentina_Uy Wed, 20 Jul 2011 01:00:50 -0000 http://msbleu.multiply.com/photos/album/149/KeiMitch_06.26.10 Kei & Mitch 06.26.2010 Turnover Coordination We met Mitch & Kei while planning for the debut of Kei's sister, Barbs in 2009 (Hip-hop themed debut at the Valle Verde Country Club). Back then there were already initial talks about their upcoming wedding but nothing was really clear yet except that we knew Kei had already proposed to Mitch.Then I got a call from Mrs. Jojo Benesa early 2010 and she said game na!! And so the rest, as they say, is history! The day started with the wedding preps at the Benesa household in White Plains , where Kei chose to come from (since Christ the King was just outside the gate of WP)..we checked on him first before heading on to Mitch who was billeted at the Astoria Plaza. The ceremony was beautiful..with some serious and lighthearted moments since these two were really just like kids..and, oh, both are Anime fanatics..the gown was inspired by an anime character, the songs chosen were also from popular anime shows..basta Anime!

Long distance planning is no joke so the Qatar based couple really had to rely on us to give them the wedding they deserve. Once I got the information I needed, what my bride wanted and her vision of the big day I set out to work on gathering the vendors to make all this a reality. First off, I had to gain the trust of Mark's Dad , Mr. Fil Bermudez but once that was done..all gears were set in motion! From the invitatons, the gowns, the venue, the caterer, the flowers and etc were chosen to form our Dream Team! The confidence and trust given me only served to motivate us to make this wedding extra special for Mark & Maff. We were given a free hand to choose the vendors and when we work with people we know and trust everything is simply magical! Church : Our Lady of Mt.

I informed them I already an event but they still insisted to book with us...I accepted only because 1. They are such a nice couple (they still are till now and we do chat once in a while) 2. The Hotel, ceremony and reception venue are quite near the other wedding I had for the day. 3. BWEM does, afterall, accept two weddings a day :) My memory of our preps..meetings at Bo's Coffee in Greenbelt, Pancake House at Gateway and several other places in between, usually after work... surrounded by good food and good company :) The day wedding itself, aside from Jet crying so hard at the altar while watching Shy approach (hehehe..peace, Jet!), was really FUN too!

I remember telling them that Starbucks, BHS has been a lucky place for me because every client I meet there books with BWEM! Again, I really like it when both the Bride and Groom are totally hands-on with their wedding preps. These two were no exception and we enjoyed how Pen would tease Espie on certain stuff and imitate her... both are such good-natured persons that it was truly a pleasure being part of their big day. We arrived at Yellow Coco early in the morning to find everyone awake and all excited about the day's event. The team went on to work in preparing some stuff we needed for the reception and soon as I could leave , Lovely & I checked on Nurture Spa where the very able gentlemen of Josiah's Catering were already preparing their set-up.

Both were totally hands-on in the wedding preps and both are blessed with very supportive families and friends. The wedding was a much anticipated event with family and friends coming from all over to share the momentous occasion with Francis & Cat. St. Francis of Assisi was S.R.O when Cat finally appeared at the doorway for her bridal march For awhile there people became a bit emotional but the mood was quickly replaced with much happiness all around! This is one of the weddings where guests stayed on even after the program ended which shows how much these two people are well-loved. There were around eight (8) tables still occupied by family and friends still enjoying the evening with Francis & Cat.

Like the other sacraments, marriage is not just for the good of individuals, or the couple, but for the community as a whole. The Catholic Church teaches that marriage between two baptized persons is a sacrament. The Old Testament prophets saw the marriage of a man and woman as a symbol of the covenant relationship between God and his people. The permanent and exclusive union between husband and wife mirrors the mutual commitment between God and his people. The Letter to the Ephesians says that this union is a symbol of the relationship between Christ and the Church.<br> <br> 2. <i>Do Catholics ever validly enter into non-sacramental marriages?</i><br> <br> Yes.
