Our Love Potion


While most couples spend on expensive figurines, candles or paper weight as their wedding favors,
we opted to give our personal brand of bottled water to our guests. It definitely added a mark of distinction on our wedding favors. The idea is cute, unique and most of all, practical.


We operate a purified water station in Dau, Mabalacat so we decided to customize the water label that would fit our wedding motif. Each bottle has 500ml of LiƱa Agua Purified Water and a personalized label "Love Potion".

I made the sticker sweet and simple. I've included not only our names and wedding date but also our message of thanks to our family and friends for sharing with us our big day. Check out the personalized nutritional facts and the bar code with a note saying "Just Re-married". (We had a simple civil wedding a few months before our church wedding.)

The bottles were placed on the guest tables so everyone can enjoy a cold, refreshing drink while watching the wedding program. If you're interested in ordering personalized bottled water as your wedding favors, feel free to email me.

my inner bride avatar


Found this amusing inner bride avatar from theknot.com. It kept me busy the whole night!

You can create your own wedding bride, choosing all the details - from your skin type to your personal accessories. It's a cute way of seeing an animated version of your bridal look.

This is my cartoon wedding look in January 2004 (church wedding):

I would also want to celebrate and renew our marriage vows on our tenth year anniversary. Just for fun, here's how I would want to look like on that day.

Create one now using this path (http://weddings.theknot.com/myinnerbride/) and share it with your friends! Have fun!

bridal shower (slightly scandalous) games

A good friend is tying the knot on the 23rd of December. We want to make her really happy, so we planned a naughty fun bridal shower, setting the tone with "feel good" music and playing slightly scandalous games with an intimate group of pals.

The party kicked off with the Hot Cucumber game. At the start of the music, the goal is to pass the cucumber from between their legs to the next person to their left or right - but using only their legs. When the music stops, the person left with the cucumber between their legs will answer a question like Do you view sex as an emotional feeling or a duty, why?, Which do you think is important: performance or size, why?, and Have you ever been caught doing something naughty?

After learning a little about my friends' secrets, we proceeded to the second kinky game. The group was divided into two and each group should arrange (or should I say disarrange) an assigned room. The concept is "How will the couple's room look like after their honeymoon?" One group prepared a short skit depicting the couple's bed scene while the other group explained every funny detail of their room.

We took a quick break after a laughing session with the previous game. When everyone is eager for more fun, we proceeded to the third sexy, mind game. Still in two groups, they should come up with a complete sentence or thought about a given topic. Each group member is allowed to say only one word. The group who could come up spontaneously with a complete thought earns a point. The topics were:

1. Describe what the bride was wearing during their honeymoon.
2. Describe the bride's hair after their honeymoon.
3. Explain what the groom whispered to the bride after the honeymoon.

I can hear the walls shaking with tons of laughter and screams with this game. The last game was strictly for ladies. I gave them rolls of huge papers (flip charts) and masking tapes and their goal is to shape or form the paper into the best male anatomy. A friend who is almost four months pregnant won the game.

Then at late night, we started chatting, dancing and drinking. Funny how our discussion always turns to the opposite sex and relationships. We talked about why men cheat, why some women tolerate cheating men, what makes a marriage strong and more about families. We shared funny first kiss stories and showed the bride-to-be that she has our support. It was indeed a comfortable, memorable time with everyone laughing and worth reminiscing for the years to come.
