"I give you my hand, & commit to co-labour with you, so our love glorifies God -- Who was & is able to use our experiences, even brokenness, & TURN IT INTO GOOD. 🌄 Like stained glass windows, with rich colours & exquisite patterns where His light can shine through. I vow, to respect your authority, & hold our #marriage with integrity... cling only to you, as long as we both shall live." // to Edison 🌿🧡 ( wedding vow excerpt ) #DotsFaith https://www.instagram.com/p/B23_y8PHTAr/?igshid=1wk9w5vt61jco

"Your leadership directed me toward so much healing, clarity, change, & peace. [...] I couldn't have dreamt of a better mate. You are exceedingly above and beyond all I had imagined. [...] 🌾 What a delight it is to be standing here with you, after a series of miracles. I trust there's a purpose why our story was orchestrated, & that God will give me grace to let love permeate what I do for you." // to Edison 💒 ( wedding vow excerpt ) #DotsFaith https://www.instagram.com/p/B21wuPsHz6W/?igshid=1xck66xeejsi2

[diary except] 📖 "It started drizzling as I walked down the road in my gown. Classic life scenario, with comedy & drama involved. 🎬 Basically, Dot had me picked up in the basement so I wouldn't get rained on. But I had to go out, chase time, to be at the venue sooner. ⏱️ Can you tell this will be quite a colourful journey? Admittedly, I could do better in highlighting my submissive skills. So he feels that he's my priority. Because he is. ⛈️ Though I had been hoping all week for sunshine, the clouds didn't worry me. The rain was a sudden reminder of God's provision, & fruitful seasons leading to this. 🌱 Depth & growth have surely taken place. Ask those who've seen us through a series of miracles. 🌈 And just as it has been promised. The sun did come up!" 🌞 // #Acts1417 #RainOrShine #ThankYouLord 🙌 #dotsfaith #snippets (at Manila House) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0tlSs_HUi8/?igshid=lj7855dwy1kl

📞 Auntie Buds: "Bumaha* sa 8th flr.! (It flooded*) Your guests were crying rivers... And Dot's aunts, across me, kept talking about Syliva, na 'if she was here, she'd be crying the most & be the happiest..." ❤️ *continues recalling the day* ☕ #Mrs_AA: "Do you think his aunts had a great time? I felt like I was spinning. I never even got to step inside the buffet room I meticulously had decorated... but happy I saw a glimpse of Uncle Bong having halo-halo at the lounge area." 😁 Auntie: "They're lovely, chika chika kami lahat... Food was super masarap! People kept going for seconds. It was perfect! But I had to tell them, you're not just an ordinary girl... 'Arky is lokaloka. And her experiences have made her a very strong-willed woman.'" *enumerates positive traits* 🍿 (But as loving titas do... She had to keep adding embarrassing bits, like how I used to sneak out of the house as a kid & play with frogs in canals. Euw, haha... 🦋 #dotsfaith #snippets (at Manila House Private Members Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0pPOqFn7NY/?igshid=1taktuj1az7qb

Tips on how to organise a wedding in only 2 & a half weeks? Don't... 😅 Kidding! It does still feel like a hazy dream. 🌦️ Completely not according to original plan... but turned out astonishingly, with a long list of answered prayers! 🌿 We did not heed everyone's wishes or go the traditional route. Yet celebrated in a way that reflect what's most important to us as a couple 👰🤵; & that it would be intimate, allowing us to pour hearts to our guests. // ✉️ I have yet to open most my mail. But THANKFUL for the well wishes & for sharing our joy! (To those asking who made the red velvet 🎂 -- @littlebites_cupcakery!) Celebratory cakes are usually more statement pieces. Bias aside, not only was that an all-edible 3 tier, I'm not over the fact that it's the most delicious wedding cake I've ever had! 💕 #dotsfaith (at Manila House Private Members Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ogf58nN5V/?igshid=srb715mu728h
