{MY STORY}
We originally planned for a civil wedding in June 2012 and then a church wedding six months after. But at the last minute, circumstances prompted us to hold just one wedding in June. So instead of civil, we decided to hold a Christian wedding ceremony. Well, it's almost like civil wedding. Only, we had a pastor officiate it and we held it in a garden. It was a very small and simple one, attended by closest family and friends. I honestly like how it went. For some reason, I wanted a small and spontaneous wedding. Nothing grand, nothing fancy. No entourage. I wore a ready-to-wear short dress from Zara. We had about 35 guests. I honestly wouldn't want it any other way.
{TIP}
I didn't make any fuzz choosing a dress, pampering, make-up, photo coverage, etc. But I guess if I could give any tip, that would be to choose a venue that's not only good but meaningful to you as a couple as well.
{DISCOVERY}
Make the celebration as genuine as possible. I guess I say this because I'm not a fan of grand weddings. When celeb couples divorce, people instantly remember how grand their weddings had been and pity them for how badly the relationship turned out, right? Trust me, people will remember you for what kind of couple you are and how meaningful your marriage is, instead of how beautiful the gown you wore on your wedding day. Then again, nothing wrong with wanting a grand wedding or a nice gown. It all boils down to following your heart.
