Wink, M+M Wedding Invitation supplier

We were running out of time when Mike & I decided to get Wink as our wedding invites suppliers. Their location is very convenient for us (within our neighborhood).

We wanted a unique invitation, Mike was so particular with this. It should be something that showcases our personality and common interests (much like the wedding cake!) That's why we also got Wink to create a custom design for us.
 
Stefanie Mercado handled our account and gave us the initial layouts. Once we approve them, the invitations will be printed after 10 working days.

But the first layout didn't sit well with us. So, Stef sent another proof (sorry can't find the files!), and that time we had two different layouts again. Still, I wasn't happy with them.

That's when we decided that I will design our wedding invitation (I have some dormant Adobe Photoshop skills). We would just let Wink print them. And we were happy with the results :-)

Verdict: We got what we expected from Wink. They delivered according to the schedules and Stef handled our inquiries very well. I won't take our dissatisfaction with the custom design against them as this is something I'm fickle about just like our photobooth layout. :-)

Oh Ezio! Look how fast you've grown! #throwback The little guy is only 3 months old in these photos. Now he's almost 3ft tall and says some English and Tagalog words clearly.

Can't wait to see you!

There... I can finally say it at almost 39 weeks pregnancy. We've been to the doctor twice and been anticipating our little guy to come anytime soon. But soon just becomes sooner and later it seems. Last week, during my internal examination, our OB was surprised to find me 2 cm dilated (cervix), yet still thick. That's when we started anticipating signs of impending labor. The bloody show - had to cross this out since I was already dilated The true contractions - pain radiates from tummy to back and wouldn't go away even after changing positions The breaking of the water bag - sudden gush and non-stop trickling of water even when you attempt to hold your pee After a week (today), my stats proved I progressed somehow - 3cm dilated and cervix is soft (but still thick). Still not THE indicator which will allow me to be admitted to the hospital. Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk... is all the good doc recommends. Gee... These days, I so feel my bottom will fall off

Val Villarin is a fairy godmother

We've always trusted in Val's expertise since the day we booked his services. My first trial makeup He did my hair and make up twice before the wedding. One during our video prenup shoot, another one during our photo prenup shoot. I loved how I look especially in our prenup pictures. I echoed to Val my fiance's feedback though about having too much make up on our first try. My second trial make up was done with airbrush and was much lighter. Mike found it much better than the first one. My second trial makeup Our transactions with Val had always been worry-free. I would call several weeks prior to the schedule, and then remind him a day before about it. I think he could do better with following up the customer a day before their schedule, specially during trial make ups for prenup shoots. He called 4 or 5 days prior to our wedding day to confirm our final headcount. On our wedding day, he and his two other hair and makeup artist came the earliest! That
