Juvy

Around June last year, while in a fitting, my phone rang. Since I was in a fitting, I didn’t want to answer it but it seemed to be from an overseas bride so I excused myself and answered the call. It was indeed an overseas bride pero hindi ko pa bride, inquiry pa lang. She said she was interested in getting us and if I can just send her the contract.

What followed was an email exchange which eventually led her to book us for her wedding.

Juvy was an OC bride. Super funny, I was asking her for an online meeting and she said malayo pa naman her wedding and para hindi na daw siya makadagdag sa load ko (di ba soooo considerate?! I love her!) so I asked her to email me her list of suppliers. When she did, nobela pala yung concerns niya sa bawat isa! Hahaha! Siya rin found it funny na madami pala siya tanong. So we ended up meeting online anyway.

A few months after, I discovered something that she did for me. Something happened which made me really sad, yung tipong iniyakan ko ilang beses. Even without meeting me yet and really knowing me, she was there for me. Hindi naman niya ako kelangan tulungan but she did. And I was touched beyond words and I felt so blessed to have a bride and a friend like her. And I promised myself that I would give her a beautiful wedding.

Juvy and Laurence tied the knot last month. Theirs was, as cliche as it may sound, a simple but a really elegant wedding. I was so happy after her wedding. I thanked God for making everything work out well. I was so touched by her mom. When she saw me in the driver’s seat of my van, she came up to me, touched my face with both her hands, and thanked me. I was humbled.

Juvy emailed me a couple of weeks after the wedding to thank me. I replied with a short thank you na hindi na masyado maarte but I hope she realizes how thankful I am to her for trusting me with her wedding and for everything else.
