this never fails to get me teary-eyed...
this is how i feel about my h2b
When God Made You lyrics
Its always been a mystery to me,
How two hearts can come together,
And love can last forever.
But now that I have found you I believe,
That a miracle has come when God sends the perfect one.
So gone are all my questions about why,
And i've never been so sure of anything in my life
Oh I wonder what God was thinking,when he created you.
I wonder if He knew everything I would need,
Because he made all my dreams come true.
When God made you, He must have been thinking about me.
Ooo ooo,I promise that wherever you may go, wherever life may lead you,
With all my heart I'll be there too.
And from this moment on I want you to know,
I'll let nothing come between us, and I will love the ones you love.
So gone are all my questions about why
Oh I wonder what God was thinking when he created you,
I wonder if He knew everythin I would need,
Because He made all my dreams come true.
When God made you He must've been thinking about me.
He made the sun He made the moon,
To harmonize a perfect tune,
One can't do without the other they just have to be together.
And that is how I know it's true,
Your for me and i'm for you and my world
Just can't be right without you in my life
Oh I wonder what God was thinking,when he created you.
I wonder if He knew everything I would need,
Because he made all my dreams come true.
When God made you, He must have been thinking about me.
He must have heard every prayer I've been praying. He must've knew everything I would need
When God made you, He must've been thinking about me.

wedsite open for public
i decided to keep it public for a bit...
there's nothing much there to see, by the way, because i hid all the the Philippines stuff and just showed the U.S.-related links....
as you can see from our wedsite we really haven't done anything for our civil wedding here in the U.S yet because right now we're busy with other important stuff... but hopefully come september, we'll be able to put our full attention to looking for reception venues again and to actually book one.....

sunset shots dilemma
our wedding in the philippines ends around 4:00pm...... sunset is between 5:45pm - 6:00pm
which means we have to wait almost 2 hours to get our sunset shots..........then ofcourse we might need an additional 15-30 minutes for the actual shooting and i don't think my guests would want to wait that long......
i have contacted our photographer again to schedule for a pre-wedding photoshoot........ we'll just have our sunset photoshoot a few days before the wedding and we'll just wear our civil wedding clothes......... that way we don't have to make our guests wait very long for the actual reception and program (although, im really having second thoughts about those program thingie..kinda find it cheesy but who knows, i might change my mind)
so all that's left to do now is send our photographer the modified contract and then save extra Php10K for those 3-4 hours of photoshoot......

while it's true that we do have a lot of stuff planned to keep our guests busy and entertained and well fed, lol, we still don't want to test our guests patience......... but at the same time we don't want to sacrifice our sunset shots too (our wedding venue is so sunset photogenic it would be a shame not to have some sunset wedding photos, lol) .......... so our solution?

on DIY Will-You-Be cards
according to our wedding timeline i need to start doing mock-ups for our WYB cards....... i usually do my DIY stuff during weekends but i was extra ordinarily inspired today, lol....here's what i came up with so far..... i was able to do two mock-up WYBs for the bridesmaids/maid of honor and only one for the groomsmen/best man.....
they're supposed to be tiffany blue but they look more like aqua on those pictures......oh well......
anyway, since these are just mock-ups, they don't reflect the actual size and shape of the final output..... this is just so i could see what a certain combination would look like..... i still have different shapes and sizes of buckles and ribbons that i could experiment on, so what you see on those pictures may not be the final design yet....
but right now i'm leaning towards doing the buckled WYB....the dressy WYB is cute but it looks more like an invitation for a sweet sixteen than a WYB....
those, by the way, are just for the U.S. wedding..... i need to look for another WYB inspirations for the wedding in the Philippines......... our church wedding motif is peach with yellow while the civil wedding is tiffany blue......
WYB = will you be (my bridesmaid/maid of honor or my groomsman/best man)
p.s.
i'll post my mock-up napkin rings on my next post......

Engagement/Wedding Photos Redefined?
Imagine a photograph of you and your fiancé capturing how he would tuck your stray hair behind your ear.
Or a wedding photograph that captures your flowy dress and flowing hair.
I'm not talking about stills nor am I talking about video. I'm talking about moving stills.Pretty much like how Harry Potter's pictures are.
Ready for this?
Slowly scroll down...
Aren't they the coolest animated GIFs ever?!
They are called Cinemagraphs. Here's what it means as posted by diego guevara
"A Cinemagraph is an image that contains within itself a living moment that allows a glimpse of time to be experienced and preserved endlessly.
Visual Graphics Artist Kevin Burg began experimenting with the .gif format in this style in 2009 but it wasn’t until he partnered with photographer Jamie Beck to cover NYFW that Cinemagraphs were born. Marrying original content photography with the desire to communicate more to the viewer birthed the cinemagraph process. Starting in-camera, the artists take a traditional photograph and combine a living moment into the image through the isolated animation of multiple frames. To quote supermodel Coco Rocha “it’s more than a photo but not quite a video".”
The first time I saw these (thanks elaine g. for sharing this on your google+), Harry Potter's daily prophet newspaper popped into mind. Remember those moving photos they have?
I have tried making animated GIFs a loong time ago as an experiment when animaited images became popular. What software I used escapes me at this moment but what I had to do was collect a stack of unrelated cartoon images, put it on a frame (if you have done slideshows, it's pretty much like that), set the speed, "loop" it and when your satisfied save it as GIF. But the moving GIFs above are, I could imagine, more tedious and manual labor intensive. Just look at the fluid movement of the hair and dress!
Before I read the whole blog (you can find it by clicking the "source" below) I was assuming that they must have a very fast camera doing multiple burst of shots. When I say burst I'm talking about multiple shots per second. Then create moving GIFs using a moving GIF creator software and voila. Unfortunately, it's NOT that simple. You're really better off just reading the blog where I got these pix from. It would explain how they do those moving GIFs. Plus there are more awesome animated GIFs there!
Anyway, how is this related to wedding stuff? Like I mentioned on my first paragraph, wouldn't it be neat to have a moving GIF on your wedsite where every element in the photo is "still" except for your groom's hand slowly reaching his hand to hold your hand in a group photo? Or an animated GIF capturing that first kiss as husband and wife? Or how about an engagement photo that looks like this:

wedding timeline
i finally created a wedding timeline because i HATE cramming!
plus i'd rather have extra time in my hands so i could relax than get stressed out....
my h2b was teasing me that i shouldn't try to finish our wedding stuff in a hurry or i'll finish too soon and would be left with nothing to do and then i'll get bored....
looking at our calendar, nah.... i don't think i'll have time to get bored..... plus, we're talking about planning two weddings here....so yeah, i'll have my hands full! so wedding schedule like this will help us not get too overwhelmed specially me since i am doing some DIY stuff...
plus i'd rather have extra time in my hands so i could relax than get stressed out....
