Chris + Amanda (Peacock Garden, Baclayon, Bohol)

Their wedding may be a year ago but I still remember how misty my eyes got when Chris looked at his lovely bride and said, “I am the direct result of 12 years of being loved by you.” All together now… *awwww* 🙂

Chris and Amanda are two of the kindest people we know. After the devastating earthquake in October, they organized Bohol Brigade, relief efforts for Boholanos. During their wedding, in lieu of gifts, they asked guests to donate to Bikes for the Philippines instead, an organization that provides bicycles to kids so they can go to school. What big hearts, huh?

Now it’s the suppliers’ turn to give the bride some love and care…

Veluz and Madge collaborate to come up with an on-the-spot hair accessory for the bride…

… to match this wonderful bridal gown.

They came up with this. Lovely, yes?

Ernest of Bespoke Manila came up with the idea of surprising the bride with pictures of the couple tied to balloons…

Surprise!!!

One of the highlights of this wedding was how Chris’ family’s backyard was transformed into the wedding ceremony site, thanks to the help of Blue Grass Project.

Love that this lantern cake by Peachy Juban has it’s own backdrop.

Happy Anniversary, Chris and Amanda! May your hearts be always full of love.
