Life as Eu Know It: Rogime & Michelle's Intimate Wedding

My two good friends got married last December! Wooohooo! Congratulations Rogime and Michelle!

(See these two posts about their engagement photos: pre-nup and DIY pre-nup.)

So here are the things that I liked about their wedding:

1) It was a small and intimate gathering.

I personally prefer small weddings over the grand ones. Mitch and Ogim chose only 70 guests or so--all of them close to the bride and groom. The entourage are all their friends and close relatives. :) I like the fact that it was like a mini reunion for me and my high school friends. I rarely see all of them nowadays and it was great spending such a glorious celebration with them.

2) The Beautiful Ceremony and Reception Venues

They choose the St. Pancratius Chapel, located in the center of Paco Park for their ceremony.It was my first time to visit that church and I really liked it! It's perfect for small weddings but also great for photographs. The church itself is a beauty and the park is huge enough for different angles and poses for the pictures and video.

For their reception, they chose the The Venue, Prism Plaza in the MOA complex.

Picture perfect again with the backdrop of the sea, grass and the sun :)

3) The stunning bride

Michelle has the perfect smile that day. She was composed (in spite of the stress earlier that day) and confident.

She was stunning on her wedding day! The elegance of her gown suits her.

4) The tensed groom

Yeah, you read it right! I guess Rogime's nervousness was too cute and he took away the seriousness of the ceremony. The ceremony was fun and light :) Way to go, Rogime! :)

5) The Souvenirs
I like their personalized chocolate souvenirs for the guest. Too bad, I don't have a picture :(
And I also appreciate Mitch's thoughtfulness to her bridesmaids- she gave all of us a beautiful silver ring :)

And for the groomsmen, they gave these neckties :)

5) The pictures!!! (and the video of course)

Yes, with triple exclamation marks. I love their wedding photos!!! They were so beautiful, each taken with style. They have not posted a lot yet but here's what they have posted so far:
